out solicitation, how great must be the
bounty bestowed upon Baltimore by this
doubtless happy man.
The liberality of this gentleman caused
one of our own citizens to contribute $40,
which is thankfully acknowledged. |
A gentleman on Franklin street is un-
willing that l should credit him publicly
with $50 for the poor and s25 for the Male
Orphan Asylum. Those $50 have supplied
1lteen families with coal for three weeks
and twenty others with bread. -,
There are some people in, this city driven
almost to madness BY the want of the ne
cessaries of life-foed and raiment.
