Mr.. Harrison Hayford, keeper OF the poor
of Belfast, says there is not much restitution
IN the city. OT course some had to be assist
ed, but ON the whole the poor were doing
well and that there are no extreme cases of
poverty in the city Bangor News

been done in the way of private charity and
by the churches and societies. 1t has been
hard winter for those who have no settled
occupation, as there has been little call for
labor.
