The Poor THIS WINrER.-There are reasons
for the belief that there will be an unusual
amount of suffering in the ranks of the

rigors are approaching. There is, first, the
consideration that our city, like all North

and many a soldiers family must inevitably
feel the tooth of frost and hunger.
Moreover, this city, from its situation, has
been, and now is a basin or catch-all
for the poor of other places drifting through

E. Burlison, our excellent Infrmary Dr.
