 Interesting Reports and Statistics of
 Charitable Work.
 The Board of Associated Charities held it's monthly meeting for June Thursday evening at the Central office, No. AT Court street. with good number in attendance. In the absence of Judge Wayland from the city Mir. S. G. Thorn occupied the chair, and Mir. E. E. Mix was appointed secretary pro tenn. in place of Professor Honey, who was neeessa- Iily absent from the meeting.
 The committee in charge reported the en- gagement of MT. JabeZ Scott as bookkeeper at the Central office, and this engagement having been approved the Board now have the services of two men, Mir. Seelye and Mir Scott, for its permanent work; the one as 1n- vestigating agent constantly at work among the poor Gin connection with the work already being done by the charitable societies of our city, most of whom are now represented on the Board), and the other always on duty at the Central office, and ready to attend to any case of trouble or distress that does not re- quire outside work This arrangement IS made not only to increase the efficiency of the Central Office of Charities and ensure speedy and thorough attention, in the name of the benevolent people of the city, to every case of misfortune brought to its notice, but also to enable Rev MT. Mossman, as city missionary, to devote his time more fully to the constant visiting of the large number of families and persons now known to him through the Central office or otherwise, who are either almost or entirely destitute of pas toral care. As chairman of the committee in charge, Mr. Mossman will still retain the general direction of the work of the Board; but as he is now under engagement by the Board of City Missions, and receives no pay ment from the Board of Charities, 1t seemed necessary to make some arrangement as has now been made at his request, that would al- low each part of this common work the best opportunity for development. MT. Moss mans office hours will be as usual from to Il a. m., at AZ Court street, and any person in trouble of body or of soul, and any others who are willing to take some part in the work among the poor and unfortunate people of our city, can consult with him at that time, with Mr. Seelye from ? to 3 p. m, and with MT. Scott at any time during office hours, to 12 a. m. and to p. m.
