LADIES AID SocIETY.-This is the
name Of society which was organized
in this city, last Friday, and is COM
posed entirely of ladies. The object of
the society is to raise funds and cloth
ing for the poor in our community,
and the surplus is to be placed where
1t will do the most good. The society
intends giving q socia BILE and supper
at the Opera House on next Christmas
Eve for the purpose of raising funds,
and we know our citizens will turn
out en- moSse when the managers of
the sociable have such benevolent
object in view. This move will COM
mend itself to all for its humanity,
and has been organized just in the
nick of time, as many poor emigrants
are now coming to our country in al
most destitute circumstances and all
the charity that our country can COM
mand shonld be bestowed upon them.
Every city in this State should have
itsaAid Society, and we are glad to be
able to give the credit of organizing
the first one to our own ladies. Fol-
lowing are the officers ofthe. Society,
President, Mrs. J. F. Backensto; Sec
retary, Mrs, e. r.. Geary; Treasurer,
Mrs. W. Monteith. May God prosper
them in their noble work.
REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION The Re-
publican Convention for the nomina-
ton of candidates for the various city

non; Marshal, Richard Fox; Treasurer,
Nelson Wright; Aldernnan N. Baum,
