ceries, and shoes. Four hundred bushels Of
coke have been distributed in addition to the

families, comprising seventy.eig't persons,
were relieved. An evening pap. yesterday
stated that the officers of the seventh pre-
cinct had contributed $40, which was the
largest amount contributed by any of the

clint tGeorgetown), although the next to the
smallest in numbers, has contributed $32.
