FROM A Kramer

EAAONA a UEAOLh
"a constant reader" writes thus !:
81 noticed lately in some of the New
York papers recommendation that
when the habiliments of woe now
draping many private and public
buildings are removed, they should
be sent TO the Michigan sufferers
who could utilize the same. Should
this be done, and as every little would
swell The aggregate amount in guam
tity, would suggest that the
citizens and authorities of Burlington
do likewise. What says the News 2"
Amen, heartily, and further. IF the
above suggestion is not carried out
why not collect all in this city, and
transfer it to ole or more Of our
benevolent institutions for distribution
as their managers good judgment
might dictate.

others, the young Of both sexes, to
enroll their names under its banner.
Place, Union street NJ. Z Church;
time, 7 30P NJ.
The disgraceful fracas and due to
liquor on Monday afternoon is not
worth the time or paper to record it.
Withholding the parties names may
perhaps have some effect in checking
any future rows Of a like character.
Hotel proprietor Mr.. William B.
Atkinson is now leveling to the
ground the ruins of his barn, &c !,
preparatory to erecting a brick barn
on the same site. Library street will
gain in appearance by this improve
ment. Mr.. Marlin, We learn, contem-
plates rebuilding also.

The able address on temperance
delivered by the Rev. j. R. Westcott
Of Beverly, at the Baptist church, on
Monday evening, was fully appreci-
ated, but we regret to say by . limited
audience. The meeting opened with
prayer by the Rev N. j. Wright of
the Union street M. e. Church, and
who also introduced the speaker.
