CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 80.
=s.Our shipments Of vegetables for the past
two weeks bring up the amount to over
tWenty-four hundred bushels. In addition,
we have this week forwarded car load OF
clothing, fruit etc, and hope to continue
still more vigorously our work Of collect
ing, purchasing and forwarding sanitary
supplies. There can be little doubt that
all weesn accomplish will be immedistely
required, and that fsF from the present
beidg the proper occasion for rest after
the exertions Of the past few months, We
sre most earnestly convinced that our en-
tire energies are now demanded to prepare
for the rapidly approaching emergency.
No one csn undervslue the generous en-
thusissm with which all our friends, both
at home and abroad. have lent their aid to
our Northern Ohio Fair. Yet we now urge
every incentive upon them to continue
their assistance for the present We
have, il is true, in our treasury funds to
purchase material, bit the ready fingers
to manufacture the flannel and cotton into
comfortable garments are az much needed
now as ever. Ths care of the goods en-
trusted to unnecessary for their pro-
per preservation to their best use
requires as imperatiVely now as ever the
help Of our long tried and valuable
corps of workers. We have perfected
most convenient and economical mode Of
packing and sorting our stores-economi-
cal as regards freight and transportation.
Shall this labor be still, as it is now, seri-
ously impeded by the lack Of assistants at
our Rooms2 We have constantly impress
ed upon us the necessity Of promptly
Fastening forward to Nashville all sup
plies at our command, that every provision
for the coming campaign may be perfected.
To do so, friends, we need your help
Nov is the time when every deed Of love
will bring forth fruit most perfect and
abundant. Shall we wait until the dread
ful news Of battle and suffering may re-
proach us with having allowed the golden
opportunity Of anticipating the certain
result to pass by unheeded- a
We have very gladly welcomed the ener-
gy Of many Societies who through their
contributions to the Fair, being temporari-
ly stripped in their own resources, have
eagerly applied to our stores for material
to make up for us. We are glad to sid in
this way, as far as is in our power, those
who have always ranked with our most
active workers, but may we remind all
that even this labor is not perfectly fulfill
ed duty. without actual outlay Of money,
where funds cannot be procured, there is
yet very much to be contributed. Aside
from the opportunity of planting vegeta-
bles for the Soldiers use and providing
for future demands, this is the time when
many articles Of real luxury can be col-
lected in the country. It seems now as if
everything indicated q final and most des-
perate struggle, and while our country
calls for all our men to cid her, we have
certainly our own part to play.
THE SOLDIERS HOME.
The following names comprise the list of
those men who have been received in the
Home during the past week. Since the

complshed, the number Of soldiers enter

either in the East or West we shall find
our little Home fully occupied again.
