The following sensible suggestion from
the Huntingdon News is applicable to this
town, and especially at this time:
The most deserving poor are often the
last to make known their condition, and
not unfrequently false delicacy prevents
them from appealing for aid when they are
really suffering from hunger and cold Our
people, generally know the families and per-
sons who would be likely to want attention,
and they should not be backward in look
ing after them. 1t should be proper for
each church to look after its own members.
Help rendered in this way is often more
readily and cheerfully received.

TO the Editors of tie Dispatch:
I have to-day. read Chs" remarks IN
reference to my letter. I presume the
reason Lord Derby has; not answered the
communication from St. Petersburgh is
that he considers actions speak palmer than
dispatch. !, 1t appears to be well under
stood In Europe that ever since the Crimean
war, which had for its object Russia's con-
quest of Turkey, Russia has never aban-
doned that design, but has, in numerous
instances, shown her object, and in various
ways been preparing. III ..,..:,..;i.SJ
In regard to cruelties, g b. refers to, q
state OF warfare 4when the worst passions
OF men are let loose, and murder and cru
elites committed on: q large scale against
those who never offended each other, and
are applauded by civilized ChIastiansl,
whereas I referred to q state OF peace. So
did Russia when she complained a1 Turk
ish rule; and, likewise, the conference as
sembled to try and arrange for an Improved
Turkish government in their provinces. Il
have not yet seen 1t reported that the con-
ference entered into the subject of the hor-
rible cruelties committed by the Turkish
soldiers last fail.)
would have been glad if 80 B.0 had
given some reason for thinking England's
interest beyond what stated. He simply
denies mine, without furnishing any proof.
Knight refer him to England, after expend-
ing millions of dollars improving the Ionian
Islands, quietly withdrawing when the wish
!, OF the people was expressed; to her evacu-
alton OF Abyssinia after its conquest; to her
offers to Canada, etc., etc. Yours truly,
