LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

the disposition of some 500 on hand, the Cluo
having determined not to continue in exist
suce OF further make efforts in the lire for
which it was originally formed. Mr.. Gamble
presented series of resolutions providing for
the presentation of the amount on hand to
the President of the Protestant Orphan Asy-
lum, TO be by her applied to fund to be
raised with which to purchase much needed
organ for the school at the Asylum. This
plan did not meet the views of the members
fully, who seemed DESTROYS of making the
contribution serve o more definite purpose,
and be the means of absolutely securing to
the little waits the desired musical instru-
ment. To that end twas finally agreed that
the sum on hand should go to the Asylum
organ fund, conditioned upon the full sum
necessary being raised by other cltizsns-In
other words, that the $50 Of the Clnb should
head the subscription list to be circulated.
Accordingly MIR. Gamble yesterday drew up
the necessary paper, and put down the Club
for chat amount, end when last seen he was
making headIay with earnest zeal and rapid
PAGES among citizens able to give and vowing
that he would neither eft, 81, ep nor drink Ia
terrible vow) until he had secured the whole
sum needed. and which he estimated to be
about SIPS OF $50, as the desire of the Club
is TO have purchased for the orphans an IN
strument that shall be frst-class and capable
of long wear under constant use. The cut
look is that the orphans will have IN organ
by Sunday, to ihe accompaniment of which
they can sing with glad voices. 1t is less
than a week ago that the RECORD UNION
brought this matter to tie notice of the pub
lie and pointed out what a real charity 1t
would be to furnish these homeless ones with
the necessary instrument for their instruction
in music and now the promise ia that the
suggestion viii result in the furnishing of the
organ at cncs. This ia prompt charity and
most creditsble.
