Distress In Prussfn.
A good deal had been said by the foreign
press of the restitution prevailing in Eastern
Prussia; but as the voice of appeal for assis-
lance was pitched at q remote distance, its
tones had almost lost persuasive influence
before reaching our shores, and, consequent
ly but little was done here, TO alleviate the
sufferings complained of now described to
be horrifying in the extreme. The Relief
Committee of Lyck, in the region afflicted
have issued the following circular:
And to our brethren in England. America
and Australia, We again particularly direct
our solicitation. Beloved brethren, we well
know that you have much to do in the way
of charity, for which you have acquired
wide spread reputation. But take 1t to heart
that this most fearful distress, which now
visits millions of your brethren, has scarce
its like in history. Therefore, rouse your
selves; come in succor of your perishing
brethren, who never asked any relief from
you in similar exigency. But now the
trouble is sore, and We know that you are
able to do much for the cause, provided your
hearts be but softened by the cry of thou
sands of your brethren which ascends to-
wards heaven. Pray, found Committees in
your midst for this object, and the good
work will succeed. In matters of beneti-
cence the will, works wonders, and particu-
larry among us, among whom welldoing is
our glory for centuries" Remittance3 will
be gratefully received by any of the Com
mittee and Julius Eckman, editor of the
HebTe,o Observer, of San Francisco.
Some effort will probably be made here,
in addition to what has already been done,
to raise funds and provisions to dispatch to
the suffering Prussians.
