on the work of the Association:
The year which has past has given this Associa-
ton all the assistance which it can hope to receive
from the State, and eircunis tances prevented the
usual winter festival for the Howard benefit. Thus
our income weuld have fallen lar short of doing the
necessary work of the Society," but from the receipt
OF help from an unusual source The will of the
late Bernard O'NeIll, by dividing his estate among
several benevolent Institutions gave to the Towards

lions from individuals, in addition to our regular
income has enabled us to keep the permanent fund

Distribution and by combining the relief afforded
exclusively to the sick, and to families have re-
duced the eXpensGs more than one-third from the

their monthly subscriptions. A strong effort was
made last winter to rtain the wishes of the pub
lie as between taxation and relief of the poor
through the Towards. Near 100 circulars were
sent through the mail to citizens and also postal
cards, upon which they requested to give their
views upon this subject. But little gained
thereby about one III ten only replying, and those
