MASSACHUSETTS,
c. w. Putnam, Worcester: Post TO- of this place
has just closed three days fair i'll Mechanics Hall.
The fair on high moral principles, without
lotteries OF KIND, and shall realize
$500. The people of Worcester responded nobiy
10 our call, and several of the churches sent a
check for 500 each. The ladies' society in one
OF the churches voted SO us nearly all the money
they happened to have at that time III their treas
ury; but the pastor of the church, Rev. III. A.
Simpson, ID ID, heard of IT, and protested against
il strongly that they reconsi;lered their vote and
We did not receive it. This Simpson said he
did not approve OF giving money TO the GAR, for
he did not know what we did with money, and
he advised the ladies TO 90 TO officers of Post 10 and
see what was needed who needed assistance and
they uhe ladies' take them under their care,-and
all that sort of thing. Gen. Josiah Pickett has had
charge of our relief fund ever since organized,
and, matter OF fact, has dispensed S27, 600
during the time for the benefit of our destitute and
needy soldiers, their widows and orphans, and to
be insuted that way by this so-caed Minister of
the Gospel made the boys mad, and they would
have liked better fan than TO have ridden him out
of town on a rail. The daily papers took the mat
ter up, and one of our wealthy citizens the
count, and Immediately wrote US check for 500,
and another for S25; letter was sent with these
checks, saying that the check for SIS sent 10
ni ? good what we LOST by the action OF SAID
