We bare just learned from a reliable source OF
a praiseworthy and commcndable net of one of
our high-toned and liberal-hcarted citizens which
VIC take pleasure in making public, although in

the gentleman in question. DR.. j. c. READY is
doing Il good part by soldiers families,-he has
already sold come twelve hundred bushels of corn
to them at only sl,OO per Jushcl, when he could
have cold his entire crop ut from $3.50 to S?,OO
per bushel. lie sells to every soldiers family
that applies but spectators und cxtortioners be
spurns from his presence as he would a loathsome
viper. How pleasant it is, in this age Of ursri-
ciuusuess and thirst for gain, occasionally to meet
with real Chridtian kindness and deeds of charity
suoh as this,-it il like tho green oasis ON tbs
desert plain, or white winged angels among the
sons of Mammon. The Doctor; who hiss fur
nished three gallant sons to tho cause of his own
dear sunny South,-one of whom, s'as! now
sleeps beneath the sod-is creditably discharging
his full dpty in tho great struggle for %indepen.
