THE SUFFERING.-"God pity the
poor This is the season when they
need pity if ever, and not only pity,
but substantial aid. Where private aid
is not sufficient to relieve the Deces-
sites Of the poor, other means can
be brought to bear. The following
law is worthy of consideration:
AN ACT
To provide temporary relief for the
Poor in cities Of the second class,
and in incorporated villages of not
less than three thousand inhab-
itants.
SECTION l. Be IL enacted Jy The
General assembly Of the State of Ohio,
That the city councils OF cities of
the second class and the town coun-
ellis Of incorporated villages having
population Of not less than
three thousand, are hereby author
lied to submit the questione to
the qualified electors to levy a tax in
addition to the other taxes now au-
thorized by law, of not more than
three-fourths ofa mill on the dollar;the
proceeds of which shall be exclusively
applied to the relief Of the poor with
in such city or incorporated village,
to be distributed under the direction
Of committee composed of one from
each ward, or 4 committee Of three in
each incorporated village, appointed
annually by the council who will serve
without compensation. q.
SECTION 2. This act shall take ef-
feet on its passage.
F. W. THORNHILL,
Speaker Of the House Representatives..
j, C. LEE,
President of the Senate.
Passed May 4, 1869.
CONFIDENCE OPERATION. - The
fools, old or young, are not ali dead
yet, as the following item from the
Nocwalk Reflector shows:
Mouroeville Station seems to be a
resort for confidence gentlemen, and
their operations withal are generally
successful, A few weeks since we
gave an account of one of their lodges
on an unsuspecting youth, and now
comes a correspondent from Ripley,
who relates that an old gentleman BY
the name of Brakeman, 73 years of
age, who resides near Clyde, Wayne
County, New York, while wal ting for
the train in Monroeville, few days
since, fell in company with a stranger
who repre- sente1 that he was 60
ing directly to Clyde-in fact, that he
lived there, and that they would reach
thai place in the night, he would take
the old gentleman home with him,
and might stay there till morning and
welcome. About this time, an indi-
vidual, claiming to be a Railroad
agent, approached them and demand
ed of the stranger pay for the trans
portation of two car loads Of goods.
Confidence man had nothing but
United States bond, which, of course,
the ''agent" could not change, when
the former turned TO the old gentle
man and requested loan, which he
would repay on arrival at their des-
tination. Twenty dollars were pro-
duced, and confidence man taking it,
departed with the "agent'' to make
out a receipt, &C., leaving the old
gentleman to wait for his return,
which he did until it popped into
his head that he was sold. Mr.. B.
took the matter philosophically, and
said nothing, but found his way to
the south part of this County, where
he had relative living. borrowed
some money, and wended his way
homeward as fast as steam could car
ry him, leaving many of his friends
destitute Of a good old fashioned
visit.
SOLDIERS ORPHANs.-Mr. ". S.
Burns hands 70 us the following cir
cular. We hope the soldiers and
friends Of soldiers will read it care
fully and act Immediately upon its
suggestions. A great debt is due the
children and widows of our deceased
soldiers, and by lending assistance in
this matter, part of it may be paid:
