.Ad the SutererS-7he Land We Lore.-
In response to the request OF leading cltl-
zens, Mayor Clarke has called meeting OF
the citizens OF Manchester at the court-houes
tonight to make arrangements for reSpond-
ing to the calls for aid that reach Us by every
mail from the fever-stricken people Of ''the
land we love-" 1t is trusted that the meet
nr will be largely attended, and that Man.
chester will contribute her mite. however
little, to the philanthrop!c cause. M6nchcs-
ter, in its history, has had the good fortune
to escape almost entirely the ravaees
OF fire. flood. and "the peStilencc which

RESPONSES from the North, South, East, ana
West would be many and spontaneous. Let
not our people be undone in the practice
of that greatest OF all virtues, charity. Had
the appeal been made from distant emma,
from ,Greenland's icy mountain. or from
Afrc's sunny plain, it should nave occh

duty of our people to heed the walls OF woe

daughters, the helpless and stricken, thc
infants and the children, the youth and the
freshness. the manhood and the ygor, as
well as the feeble and the decrcpid, of ou,

Improvements on Porter Street-1
Glance at MancheSte,'s Fifth Auenue.-
No thorouohiare in the city has undergone
more improvement or entered more prompt
ly into the spirit Of progress than Porter
street, particularly that part lying between
Ninth and Thirteenth streets. The eyi-
denceS Of recent improvement are plainly
discernible. The front OF the old Taylor
mansion has undergone such change as to
be almost unrecoGnizable. At this place
the street-eXcavationsw were OF such charac-
ter as to destroy the timc-bonored and
beautiful porch, front yard, &C., which
were the pride Of the owners and
the envy of passers-by. The dwelling
is now embellishcd by front both
unique and beautiful in design, and,
while it is more modern and stylish, is
doubtless not as dear to the hearts OF the
owners as the original one. The improve
ment, however, is a great one, and adds to
the attractiveness OF that already beautiful
locality. Around the Presbyterian church,
Just above the Taylor mansion, handsome
granite wall has been erected, conforming
the ground thereabout to the streets as
graded. This is also great improvement,
and adds greatly to the looks OF our popu-
lar "little church around the corner"
Jallles w. hlcnel, 11'q', "o ',o WIZ"
of Eleventh street, has recently had good,
new fencing put up around his entire
premises. The fencing has been painted,
and presents neat appearance. 1t should
also have been stated above that the fencing
has been partially rebuilt around the Tay.
