duty which in all instances. ] believe,
Is faithfully and cheerfuy performed. These visit

No worthy poor family need suffer or starve, as the
sections are small that the visitors become &C
quainted with all the poor families IN them, while
the funds OF the society are seldom sqnandered BY
assisting the unworthy poor
The association eXpends over $4,000 annually In
its charities. l am satisfied that II the Commits

poor fund through the visitors OF this association
they would be lar cheaper and better and more APP

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Enclosed please receive five dollars ts5) for the
benefit Of the poor unfortunates Of whom you
have taken such OppOrtune notice.
You will probably receive other contributions
for this merciful object to form fund to be dis.
pensed by your humane agents, who are ena-
bled to discriminate between the deserving and
the worthless as perhaps others are not. In the
main humanity is charitable, and were 1t not for
the fear OF imposition many would gladly give TO
their fellow mOrtals. l would propose to you that
the Bureau OF Charities of this city and county
should cause wagon to be sent around the city,
at intervals calling at every house to ask If there
be any old clothing. hats shoes, &c, to be given
away. 1 know OF many persons who would give
such articles from time to time were a means
provided in which they could have confidence.
Let the wagon be marked distinctly and the dri-
yer wear badge. 1t might also be we'll II certain
hotels and restaurants should be daily visited By
agents and carts OF the city and their waste mat
ter taken away. L. e. H., Post once box 2,207

The experiment of transferring the
blood of live lamb into the veins OF a
consumptive patient was successfully
performed upon the person of Hermann
Dubods at Fall river, Mass, on Friday
last by Drs. Julius Hoffman and Wey-
land of New York city. Every vein
which is connected with the lngular
vein of animal was securely tied by
the physicians, so as to allow the blood
free egress to the arm OF the patient.
DIR. Hoffman used small glass tube
about two inches and a half long, slight
ly curved, for the operating, thus bring
inc the neck of the lamb. in very close
proximity to the patients arm, The
operation occupied one minute and
thirty-three seconds, about six ounces
of blood being transferred in that time,
Mr.. Dubois has been afflicted with COLI
sumption more than two years, and his
friends thought it best to try the expert
ment as last resort for relief, at last
accounts the patient was doing well.

The editor of the Weston Democrat
sums up the result of the late election
as follows, which we transfer to our
columns =
Everything Democratic! Ben Butler
defeated! A large Democratic MAORI
ty IN Congress- New York, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Georgia, Missouri, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Louisiana, Alabama,
Delaware, Tennessee, Virginia, Arkan-
sas, Kentucky. New Jersey, Texas,
and large gains in all the other States
that voted on Tuesday, November 3rd
The elections held on Tuesday, the
3rd inst, resulted in the most signal
vindication Of Democratic principles
that has ever occurred in this country
Everywhere the Republicans are utterly
routed. Even the State of Massachu-
sets elects CASTOR, Democrat, Governor,
gives us eight out of the eleaen Con
gressmen, defeats Beast Butler by a
large majority, and hands over the con
troll of the State to the Democrats. New
York, that two years ago elected Dix,
republican, Governor, by nearly 10000
majority, now elects Tilden, democrat,
to the same Office by nearly 10000 ma
jority, gives us nearly all her Congress
men, and elects a Democratic Legisla-
ture. Maryland makes clean sweep.
Georgia ditto. Missouri plays the same
card. California and Nevada wash their
hands of Radicalisn. Poor down-trod-
den Louisiana. Notwithstanding Grant
bayonets inundated her white people
at nearly every precinct in the State, is
fully redeemed. Alabama ditto. Della
ware fails into line all right. Tennessee
covers herself with glory. Virginia,
the proud old Mother, improves upon
herself, and answers die greeting Of her
Youngest daughter by an immense Dem
ocratic majority. Arkansas, the scene
Of Grants laundering butchery, re-
nounces radicalism forever Kentucky,
true to the good name she has earned
in former battles, ''Swecps the platter.
New Jersey puts the seal of condemEa-
ton upon her radical rulers by coming
nobly into the Democratic line. Texas,
the Lone Star State, elects nobody but
Democrats to Office. In all the other
States and Territories that held general
elections on the 3rd inst, the Demo
Gratis made glorious gains, and the half
has not vet been told. We shall have a
large majority in the Lower House OF
Congress, and gain several United
States Senators. Rise up, Billy Allen
