called on to combat with poverty;
hence they experienced delicacy in
making their condition known, hoping
that she ebb tide in their affairs
would soon turn. The work Of relief
has been conducted as privately as pos
sibie, and every precaution taken to
avoid wounding the feelings OF any
one. Several instances have come to
light where worthy ladies, now widows
with helpless children, were endeavor-
ing to keep themselves and little ones
alive by taking in washing, and load
of wood and some provisions from the
city we're accepted gratefully. Many
good people of the city are lending aid

abundance are aiding their less fortu-
nate brethren. A sack of flour, q bag

in momensary pleasure or the gratiti-
