AID FOR THE PooR.-We are gratifed to
learn that the committee appointed at the
last meeting Of the City Council to solicit aid
for the destitute families of those whose hus-
bands have enlisted in the service of their
country, are meeting with success. The
people in the country, particularly, are re-
spending nobly to the call, and many have
already furnished large quantities of provis-
ions. We have been requested to state that
those who desire to make contributions will
leave the same at the store of Mr.. Jas. Spill
man, on Pike-street.

afraid they will not meet with much sue
cess, as the county is greatly disa6ected.
THE DINNER YEsTERDAY.-The dinner pro-
vided by our citizens yesterday for the
soldiers reflected much credit upon those who
| got it up. After feeding the Ohio regiment,
| which arrived in the forenoon, there was an
abundance left to supply the illinois regi-
! ment, which came over about five o'clock in
the afternoon, and large quantities of bread
and meat were carried off in baskets by the
poor of our city, who were invited to hell
themselves after the soldiers got through
Too much praise can not be bestowed upor
those of our citizens who were active in su
perintending the preparation Of this welcome
repast to the tired and hungry soldiers.
1t is gratifying to know that the same pa
triotic ladies and gentlemen hold themselve
in readiness to treat all other troops whC
may pass through Covington in the samt
way, when short time is given in advance
The ladies, however, are opposed to any
more disappointments in regard to the hOu
of arrival of troops. When they use thei
best efforts to arrange the tables tastefully
they want the soldiers to be on hant
promptly, before it is necessary to disarrang
the ornamental part of the preparations.
