eN-The attention OF our readers Is called
TO the advertisement of Mr.. Schwarz, In
another column. He notifies the public that
he is in receipt OF his Spring stock and
will sell cheap.
LEcrURE.-Rev. +. NJ. O'RoURKE, will de-
liver a lecture at the st. Joseph's Church
in this city, Sunday evening next for the
benefit of the st. Joseph's School. Sub
iect-"Ireland and her faith As the OBJ
iect Is Il praiseworthy one, and the ability
of the. Reverend gentleman fully equal to
the task, we shall expect to see a large and
appreciative audience at st. Joseph's on
the evening mentioned.
The EPISCOPAL CHURCH, DAYToN.-We
are pleased to hear Of the prosperity of the
Episcopal church in this city, under the
ministry of the Rev. Mr.. Jewett. Nine
teen persons were admitted by Confirms
ton, by Bishop McIlvaine, on Sunday. IL
is a commendable fact that during the war
this congregation escaped entirely any
political discussion, and we record with
great pleasure their prosperity. -
The Bishop preached a powerful Eermon
in the morning, and when we rcfleS that
he is past the age allotted to man, of three
score and ten years, 1t Is truly wonderful
lie has lost none of his former force rs q
public speaker.
The "STRIKE.'-The statements made in
acard, over the signature of "Union,' in
this mornings Journal, are simply raise
We stated distinctly that we were
not opposed TO any "Union," nor to
its managing its own affairs. The Union
sent two committees to wait upon us, and
Mr.. Wheeler, one of the cOmpositors, In
formed us Monday morning that it was al
the dictation of the "Union' that they sus-
pended work. The statement that oui
foreman "ratted" another man out of his
place, is false. The statement that we re-
fused to increase the wages of the gentle
man in our employ, with whom we are
satisfied, and, who, we believe, to be salts
fled with us, is true. We shall, rs we have
said, manage our own affairs In that matter
If we think our business will warrant IN
increase of wages, and he demands it, we
shall comply with his request, otherwise
not; and particularly not at the dictation
of the Printers Union of Dayton. This
much for the present. "The world still
moves" and the DAILY EMPIRE will con
tinue to appear as usual.
Material Aid for the South.
We are in receipt of the following com,
municatiOn
MEssRs. FARAN q MCLEAN: Some day.
since You announced that You would re
ceive donations for the sufferers in tn,
South. Shall | direct to you a SINAI con.
tribution I'm the shape of a barrel of flour
Please answer. Yours, &C.
j. ii. SHEEHAN,
Agent c. IL. and ID. X. r., Lockland.
Mr.. SHEEHAN is requested to send alon!
the barrel of -four, and induce as many
others as he can to follow his benevolen
example. We are ready to take charge o
any contributions in the shape of materia
aid for our distressed Southern cOuntrymel
and women, and forward them without de
lay. Indeed, it is an emergency wherein
utlay Is ueAIll, luousdllus are III "a sLlTN
ing condition, and If relief IN mt all |
must he speedy. We are satisfied that
the bulk Of our people can be brought l.
realize the desperate condition of affairs i
Alabama and Georgia, contributions vii
pour TO the relief rs fast rs they can b
transmitted. We nave never been back
ward in responding to the charity call @
other nations. Blood is thicker than wateI
and in the sacred name of humanity W
entreat our readers everywhere to met
the emergency with liberal hands.
The above is taken from the Cincinna
Enquirer of yesterday, and we commend
to the attention of our citizens. That man
of the people in portions of Alabama an
Georgia are in a destitute and suiferin
condition no longer admits of question, W
feel that the statement of this fact is enOug
to arouse the humane among our either
to action. 1t is not possible that we can r.
main contented in the enjoyment Of on
abundance while thousands of our country
men ut, comparatively, but ashort distan,
from our own doors are actually sufierir
for want of food and clothing. They a
not bcggars either-they have sent no pa
agents among the people of more fortuna
localities to solicit aims or treasure. Tn,
have calmly and heroically struggled
silence against their misfortunes. But the
once happy, now ruined homes do not a
ford shelter; their once fruitful, now vast,
fields, do not yield increase. Good M
impelled by the most honorable motiv
have taken up their cause and presented
to the public.
MEssRs. FARAN Il MCLEAN of the Cincil
natl Enquirer, gentlemen who need no il
dorsement In this community are, as a
pears by the above extract from their pape
receiving contributions for the relief
those people. We feel that it is only nece
sary. for some one to take the initiative her
and Dayton will do her part who wi
take the matter IN handy
