CLOTHE THE ORPHANs.-Nearly three
hundred orphans are now in the Home
near this city, and additions to that
number are almost daily being made -
OF the new arrivals few are provided
with more than the most scanty clothing.
Girls, in many instances have only thei.
summer dresses while very many Of ths
boys have psntaloops and jackets suited
of the pressure Of duties incident to the
occupancy Of rooms only yet half furn-
ished, and to tho esta tablishment of ords,
and system where al was inevitable con-
fusion, the Matron and her Assistants
have had no opportunity, and will not
have for some time 20 come, to see to the
making up of the warm clothing made
really necessary by the cold weather now
here and threatening to be severe erc
long. Under such circumstances the
friends Of orphans in this city and coun-
ty, and throughout the State, will render
important aid and save much suffering
by at once making liberal donations of
outer clothing for the use Of these orphan
girls and boys. Good home made dres-
scs, pants, jackets, &C., such as can be
given from hundreds of families, would,
if now given, gladden. scores Of these
children. We only state what We know
to be true when We say that there is alb
solute need for such donations. They
should be made without delay. There.
fore We invite the patriotic and liberal to
aid in this good work without delay. =
Clothing, such as mentioned can be left
at the Gazette Counting Room, from
where it will be forwarded to Mrs. Ely
aud Mrs. Wittsnmyer at the Home, and
by them be distributed to the needy.
Our Iowa exchanges will do good ser
vice to the cause of the Orphans by call,
ing the attention of their readers to the
above appeal They will render q better
service, perhaps, by suggesting that be.
fore orphans are sent to the Home, the
communities or counties in which they
have resided, should see that they are
provided with sufficient clothing to pro-
tect them from the inclemcncy Of the
weather.-Darenport Gazette.
