COUNTY NEWS.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says, concern
ING the Chicago fire: at is safe to say that the
destruction of boots and shoes will easily foot
up 10 total loss of not less than $4,000, 900 in
value. Every shoe town in the east will feel the
effect of this heavy loss. Many of them must
suffer severely Worcester and Milford, pro-
ducing about 2,OO0,O 600 worth yearly, lin boots
principally sell the bulk of their goods in the
fall of the year, and nearly all TO Chicago. This
may be accepted as an indication of the heavy
losses to be sustained by the shoe trade. The
lost goods, in any event, must be reproduced,
and many of the small manufacturers will i'm
prove the opportunity to put their goods on the
market, probably at advanced rates"
A Chicago relief meeting" was held at North
BroOkfeld on Thursday evening. Owing TO the
short notice given of the meeting, and to the
fact that the town hall was previously engaged
for other purposes, comparatively few were
present. But the few well represented the feel
ing and purpose of the many. The meeting
was organized by the choice of Hon. Freeman
Walker as chairman, and Mr.. j. A. Cunningham
as secretary. Rev. Mr. Fuller offered prayer
and remarks were made by the chairman, Rev.
MeSsrs De BevoiSe and Fuller, Hiram Knight,
Esq, Hon Amasa Walker, Aug. Smith, Esq,
DR.. Warren Tyler and Others A subscription
list was opened on the spot, and generous re-
sponses made from nearly every person present,
some boys who earn their money, subscribing
dollar each. Committees were appointed for
all sections of the town and from all nationali-
ties among the people. thorough canvass is
to be made for money and clothing, to be for
warded through the proper channels to the re-
lief of the suffering at Chicago. We are sure
that all the people will respond generously ac-
cOrdng to their means.

CITY OF WORCESTER,
MAYORS OFFICE, Oct. 10, 1871.
cannot believe any of us have looked upon
the Chicago matter without being moved to
true and heartfelt sympathy. know my heart
was filled and my eyes gushed forth great tears
upon reading the descriptive dispatches. This
was the ungovernablc emotion of general SYM
pathy. This day get direct word from three
families-tcn or more persons-old dcQudiat-
dBceS, that they are all burned out, saving
nothing but the clothes they had on. When
look at their homes of comfort, as | saw them
one year since, it stands before me in all its
reality, and the sympathy of true friendship is
aroused. Something material is called for and
am made to reflect how they would divide the
last penny with me or any of mine did we re-
port to them such destitution under like con.
ditions
Then these families, all having gone from
our vicinity within the last If years. | take this
case TO show practically just the whole state
Of this great calamity, and although it has done
my heart goodi to see the general interest mani
Tested, fear we are not doing enough in the
way of dividing our surplus, bedding and
clothing with these sufferers. This is one of
our opportunities to expand our hearts, and
may say, perhaps to enlarge our souls. IL we
let such pass, what are we to look for?
Goods have come in ut the Clark, Sawyer &
Co. store, opposite the Bay State. very well to-
day, and among them some valuable new
ones. There will. as we now expect, be n car
load started on Monday, which goes direct
through without being opened or changed in
any way. Let us consider how near the cold
weather is mt hand, and send forward all we
feel we can spare and do it at once.
