Great Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia

A committee of gentlemen in Phila-
delphia have issued q circular to the
people Of the city and the State, an
nouncing their intention of holding
great Central Fair tor the Sanitary
Commission, in the first week in June
next. John Welsh, esq, is chairman,
Caleb Cope, treasurer, and Charles J.
StiIle, Secretary. The Office is at 1907
Chestnut street. The committee state
that as Chicago has recently raised for
this object 100000, Boston $50. 900
and Cincinnati 100000, they appeal
with the greatest confidence to tha in
habitants of our own State to send as
contributions to the Fair the produc
tions of their skill and labor They
say: 'We ask every clergyman TO
announce this humane undertaking to
his people, and advise them to do what
they can TO further it. We ask the
prsss to give it the widest publicity
and the most earnest announcement
We call on every workshop, factory
and mill for q specimen of the best
thing 1t can turn out; on every artist
great and small, for one of his crea-
tlons; on all loyal women. for the ex-
erclse Of their taste and industry on
farmers for the products of their fields
and dairy. The miner, the naturalist
the man Of science, the traveller. can
each send something that can at the
very least be converted into blanket
that may save from death some one
soldier whom government supplies
have failed to reach Every one who
can produce anything that has money
value, is invited to give sample of
his best work as an offering to the
cause of national unity. Every work
man, mechanic or farmer, who can
make pair Of shoes or raise a barrel
of apples, is called on to contribute
something that can be turned into
money, and again from money into the
means of economizing the health and
life of our national soldiers"
This most noble enterprise is already
cnlisting in its cause the efforts feood
men and women in every walk of life.
The Union League of Philadelphia
have taken the matter in hand and
given it the fuu cooperation of all its
wealth and influence.
