lar of,appeal to the Bar Associatiohs6 III the
United States for donations to fund fol
the support and etlication Of the orphan
of the late Butler p. Anderson 4 loi
the Memphis Howard Association, who
fell martyr to the cause OF humanity nj
Grenada. The circular states that this
charitable duty is undertaken from this
point rather than the place OF his resi-
dcnce, and that OF his death, because both
OF them are yet shadowed by the wings Of
the pestilence, aud This appeal Is specially
to the active exertions OF the
legal profession inwhich the deceased was
a worthy brother, having been IN ex.offi7
Ger in the legal service OF the Federal Gov
ernment o quarter of a aceitury, ago, and
at the time of his death held Q responsible
but utunremunerative position in one ofthe
charitable institutions OF this State. The
circumstances which leave his
family dependent orphans are-notzby de-
fault OF his industry, but are general in
character, and rather, to be traced 10 the
attributes which made his;hand as liberal
rs his spirit. Correspondence in response
may be addressed to any member OF the
and remittances to Thomas S.
Weaver, Treasurer Anderson Orphan
Fund. Signed by John O. 1Burch, editor
