order where we furnished eli the material. For

| accordance with orders received, and the ex-
pressions in regard to it have been most satis-
| factory to us, and have very frequently been
| the means Of procuring further orders.
From the $50 entrusted to US last year by
| the sLadies' Depository" Of Baltimore, princi-
pally in goods. we have realized an increase Of
$16 80. This, We admit, is quite small, and
| might have been made more remunerative, ex-
cept for our complicated accounts, which pre-
vented us from paying specia! attention TO
this amount. During the coming year, how.
ever, We hope to render the statement more
gratifying to the ladies of Baltimore.
| The salesroom has brought us return this
! year oil S1393 10, or an average per month OF
SIG. This defrays our weekly expenses but
does not enable us to give out as much work
as the demand requires; and we wculd some
times have fallen very tar short had not our
wants been supplied by orders from without,
which have been greatly increased this
year. We take this opportunity Of thank
ing our customers fer their patronage,
and would earnestly solicit its continuance in
tho future. The association is 80 well known
now, that it is the general resort for those who
desire to obtain work, and We have endeavored
to regulate our prices as much as possible in
accordance with the requirements OF both the
employer and employee.
There is one other point upon which we have
not yet touched, and which has caused us
some regret-we refer to the subscriptions.
Advancing in every other respect, our subscrip-
tions have diminished each year, and now only
| amount to $272 CT. The annual subscription is
but one dollar, which We frequently find diff
cult to obtain. So many are dependent upon
this association for partial, if not entire sup
port, that we would earnestly set forward the
necessity for greater extension Of this means
OF supply in the coming year. And we would
especially desire to bring to the notice OF the
public that none are authorized to collect for
the Mutual Aid Association except those who
have their regular subscription books, with
| the signatures OF the officers attached. We
have recently learned that o considerable
amount O. collections were made within the
past year in the name OF the association, by
| fraudulent characters, and would embrace this
opportunity Of placing persons on their guard
| in relation to this matter.

At about six o'clock on Saturday eve.
ming, (2lst) quite little commotlon was
caused on the levee near Harris warehouse
A young man named George Smith has
been stopping ut the City Hotel for some
days past, and from numerous suspicious
circumstances our authorities have been led
to believe that lie was implicated IN ,ne az
tempt on Shearer's grocery store. Officer
SNYDER arrested him in the evening at the
Black Hawk Saloon, where he had stepped
in for moment While being escorted up
Madison street, he took to his heels, ran
down the alley by Burgers saloon, and
reached Front street near Gus Stengel's
saloon He then rem down to the river and
disappeared, but was afterwards found in
the Jefferson street sewer. At the jail,
where he was taken, he gave his name as
George Foster. Probably the most that can
be done with him will be to haul him up on
the vagrant act.
