ERRATUM.-Last week, speaking OF
Almlrs Lewcy aud child being badly
frozen, we located them in a miserable
hut III Salem. In justice to the Gill
zcnS OF that town, we would say that
the hut is ia Newport, and not in Salem
as VIC supposed at the time Of writing.
The unfortunate victims, have for
some time been town charge in
Newport, but last. fall the mother in
formed the ovcrscer of the pOGr that
If he would tiud her a house and
stove, she would take care of herself
and family. This he did. and had no
Further care OF them till since they

were very poorly clad having neither
shoes or Stockings and with hardly
any clothing sufficient to cover their

the fault was entirely her own in not
calling for aid is not for Us to deter

such wretchcdncss. suffering and misc

Christian land. Charity should be-

found IN every village and community,
and VIC fully believe in that religion
which. instead of bcstowing Iayors
and giving good gifts to those who
need them not, and helping to build
up magnificent charitable institutions
in our wealthy cities, seeks ont the
poor Ill our own midst and alleviates
suffering at home,-Erprcss.
