LADIES UNION RELIEF ASSOCIATION. -
During the past winter the Ladies Union Re-
lief Association have visited ia families dis
articles Of fP bedcGShiug beside groceries
fuel. Through the untiring kindness of Mr..
Robinson, they had just money enough yester-
day lat their last meeting) to pay all their 10
debteduess and leave one cent in the treasury.
They have had during the winter, from all
surces, $665.SO, which averages about IS. 81 TO
family. Not an extravagant outlay of the means
placeda their disposal. Sixteen of the ladies',
have given 10 their names as subscribers for the
summer, so they will have little fund to begin
work with next winter.
