THERE should be some organized
method adopted to relieve the necessi-
ties Of the suffering poor Of our town
this winter There are many families
in Plymouth who will suffer for the
neeessaries of life, if assistance is not
rendered them. We have many benevo-
lent citizens, who are ever willing to
aid the needy; but it is asking too much
to expect them to contribute all that will
be needed We think Of no better
plan than to get up public entertain
ment-musical and dramatic, composed
home talent, the proceeds to be destribu-
ted to the needy and deserving. We
hope some energetic ladies and gentle
men will take hold of this matter, and
get the arrangements under way as
soon as possible.

The Western World knows that China is a very

few yet realize that she contains more than third

her central authorities for taxing purposes by the

thereafter.

One of the horses never recovered from

but fond of his toddy. He was trying
to prove by one of the witnesses that
all were drunk, and commenced by
asking him:
