UNION RELIEF.

We feel it due the gentlemen who SO gen
erously lend us money without interest
every year for our bag work for the poor,
to send You some items just copied from the
annual statement of our faithful agent Mr..
Thos. Perry (who also does his responsible
and troublesome work without interest. J
Since this time last year, we have used in
the manufacture OF grain bags $4,000 yards
of duck, the poor women having made by
hand %, 500 bags. Mr.. Perry has sold -. SG2
OF them to our merchants thus enabling us
to return the money borrowed, beside pay
ing out to the women over 5000 for their
work. q cents per bag and so cents per
day to the cutters, is very low price for
the work, but it is as much as we can afford
to pay them and sell the bags at manufac
lures price. This exhibit Of the work of the
employment society connected with the
Union Relief, we are sure cannot fail to in
terest our citizens generally, and the gentle
men particularly, who by their kindness,
enable us to carry it on from year to year.
A good deal Of gratuitous help must be ex-
tended, to women with children dependent
on them, and 20 the aged and infrm, but
we aim, as far as possible to give work to
the poor and as society only to stand
between them and actual suffering, the
donations sent in from time to time being
used with the utmost care and economy

THE ONLY two objections urged III thc
