to find that the very men who were 80

parts Of our common county, espcc-

practical refulation OF their charges aS
shown in the generous aid which Ne"

Cincinnati, st. Louis, and other cities,
are giving to the afflicted cities down
South. Tens Of thousands Of dollars

to cement the people North and South

the generosity which that suffering

TO the afflicted cities Of The South by
their moro fortunate sisters Of the
North is something not to he cnsllt
forgotten On every side we hear of
most noble efforts being made to raise
