To the Patriotic Citizens OF But
ler and Nicinity.

An organization of the citizens of our
town and vicinity has been effected un
der the name of the Patriotic League
of Butler, Pa, having for its object
the relief OF our soldier boys in camp or
hospital. and the caring and providing
for the families and dependents of those
who have responded to their country's
call A finance committee has been
appointed by the League, who will call
upon our citizens for their contribu-
tions: in view of which at meeting of
the League held in Y. NJ. G. A. Hall on
Tuesday evening, May 81, the officers Of
the League We're instructed to issue an
address to the public through the
county papers explaining the objects of
the League and the work contemplated.
The League in both its membership
and its work is strictly non -sectarian
and non partisan, and all contributors
TO the fund are members of the League.
We need the aid and desire the assist
ance and membership Of every patriotic
man and woman Of the town and vicin-
ity, and especially desire the coOpera-
ton Of the ladies.
While all contributors, either of mon
ey, provisions or clothing, will be ac-
ceptable, yet in order that the work of
the League may be carried on practi-
cally aud Systematically the finance
committee desire so far as possible to
secure a list of subscribers who viii
agree to pay some certain sum or
amount monthly during the continu-
ance of the war.
The work of the League while in n
sense charitable, yet is no charity. We
do not ask your assistance and your
gifts as charity, but as patriotic, low
ing duty to your country, and the cause
of liberty and humanity The imme-
date necessities of the League consists
in raising one hundred and fifty dol
lars or upwards to defray expenses in
CURED in furnishing necessary equip
ments and supplies to the members of
Co., E 18th Reg't, when they departed
to enter the service of their country,
and also to care and provide in greater
or less degree for the families and de
pendents of some seven or eight soldiers
who have already enlisted In addition
to this, any considerable prolongation of
the war and future enlistments of our
citizens to fill additional calls for troops
will no doubt furnish many other
worthy and deserving cases where aid
and assistance should and must be pro-
yided. Nor does even this measure the
scope of the duty and responsibility of
the League If the war continues, the
inevitable fact that our sick and wound
ed soldiers in hospital and on tented
field will require and should receive the
very best of the aid and assistance of
every patriotic. country loving Ameri-
can citizen, confronts us.
An adjourned meeting of the League
will be held in y. NJ. c. A Hall on
Tuesday evening next, June 7, at 7:30.
Every citizen of the town is invited TO
attend this meeting. The League re
spectfully requests the several minis
ters of the town to announce this meet
ing from their several pulpits on the
| coming Sunday, and to urge upon their
| congregations to attend this meeting
and to lend their aid and encourage
ment to the good cause
