The sAlbfon' Socicty-An Appeal to
Englishmen to Relieve Such Cases
Richard Steaks.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HEBALD:-
The case Of Richard Steaks, an Englishman,
named In your issue OF March l. is indeed sad, and
is but one case among the many. And beyond
doubt everything is being done by the kind and
charitable to relieve the present distress in this
many societies is the Albion Society for English
men in this country. which was organized in
November last, with officers who devote their time
men. The objects in BRIEF re:-Frsr, mutual as
ISOLATION and projections second, benevolent
branch to assist the deserving IN distress, and
third, bureau for Information and assistance
in procuring employment and TO open up q
communication between employers of labor and
deserving Englisnmen who are willing to toll
faithfully for an honest livelihood.
As rule the English who come to these shores
do not come to beg, and their reverses and trials
are borne with silence and patience, and but little
coming to the surface. Since the society has been
formed many letters have been received from the
distressed English, both In and out of this city,
which have been indeed piteOus to listen to. and
scarcely day passes but appeals are made for
or $1,000 English residents in this country, and
will they not come forward with their English
hearts and hands and aid their distressed cOun-
trymen and women IN this their time OF needs AS
successful English to come forward with their help
to aid this young but much needed organization.
The society will only be too glad TO furnish par
ticuiars and invite investigator from all and any
who Will do so. H. III. CAHILl, Nj. D.,
