finish. The case of family of seven
boys all under eleven years of age (the
baby has fits and the mother is sick
with consomption) has elected much
sympathy and help. When found their
destitute condition was pitiful. They
are now decently clothed, some delica-
cies provided for the mother, as well rs
bedding, &c. The town has provided
her with nurse. The little boys who
have heretofore taken care of the moth

cooking and work that has been done,

placed. Would that the public gener-

boys, to see they are placed in school
and kept there. They will soon be men
and voters.
