spotless integrity and bis mourning friends
in the home of his boyhoOd are not few.
He married Boston lady, who died about
eight years ago.
The buildings of the Home for Destitute
Children, located at Burlington-the only
unsectarian institution of the kind in tho
state-having been burned two or three
years ago, this most worthy charity was left
in very straig htened condition. The citi-
zens of Burlington have most generously
responded, and liberal aid has come from
all sections of the state, as the doors of the
Home are open alike to all its destitute
children; but far more must be done to meet
the pressing demands of the institution. AS
1t is now several years since the good peo-
| pie OF our city have responded to the APP
peas of this most noble charity, ali effort
will be made during the coming week to
canvass the city, through solicitors appointed
from the several churches, and it is conf
IDENTIFY hoped that general response will
| be made. Let those who are able, give lib
orally, to make home for these helpless
an suffering little ones; while those who
can give but little, will thereby manifest an
interest aud sympathy that is above price.
