have already done good work, and the
citizens Of the city and township have
manifested mostliberal spirit in thei
donations. 1t is to be hoped Other town

If the s'otm brewing at Coriuth, Mis-
sissippi, burst upon the country. th
shock will be dreadful.g Thousands vii
perish utterly and tens of thousands will
bc wounded. Ten companies ofour ow
brave men will face the foe and tie prob
ability is that m.ny viii fail. The fun
now being raised is for their benefit, t
provide them with necess'ries and com
forts and to bring them home. 4 '-.''''
