g PROMENADE CoNcERT.-We would call the
attention of every charitable disposed person,
every lover Of his country, every one who has
the welfare of our soldiers at heart, to the
Promenade Concert to be given in behalf of
the Ladies' Sanitary Committee at City Hall
next Monday evening; and would urge them,
even II they cannot attend, to purchase tickets
and thus help the patriotic ladies of our city
in their good deeds. aaa .eeas
Our citizens can have no idea of the work
performed by these ladies unless they visit the
rooms and witness the large number of gar
ments Of various kinds that are cut out and
distributed daily to be made up. When, fur
nished, they are forwarded to our gallant
soldiers in the field, and thousands have been
made comfortable by the efforts of this COM
mittee.
In order to cut out such garments as are
absolutely necessary for the protection and
comfort of the soldiers, it Is necessary that the
ladies. should have the materials for that pur-
pose. They have now scarcely any, and it
is necessary that their treasury should be re-
plenished. For this purpose the Promenade
Concert has been got up and we cannot for
moment doubt it will be patronized with the
greatest liberality. $50 -.
