LITTLE FOLK TO THE COUNTRY.

LITTLE FOLK To THE COUNTRY.
There was rare time at the Erie ferry at Cham
bers-st. yesterday morning. The commuters who
went thronging by and out into West-st did not
know anything about II. for they We're thinking OF
business and other commonplace things But in
the waiting room, right beside them. there were
high jinks-" Ove- hundred children were gath
cred there and not OF them thinking
about commonplace things. Each had his little
bundle Of clothes his Tribune Fresh Air Fund
badge and his look OF expectancy. It was plain TO
see that something unusual about 20 take
place. and when the troop Of 120 children went
shouting and dancing onto the ferryboat Il was
plain 10 hear that the something was beginning.
When this same happy caravan tumbled laughingiy
out of train at Port Jervis y. Y. few hours
later the something was really going on
For by this same token the people Of Port Jervis
nave done and are AT this moment doing one Of
the hndest deeds Of charity. They have invited
these l20 little children from the tenement houses
of New-York spend weeks with them
their guests. During every minute Of the two
weeks these children from the hot and crowded
tenement districts of the city will breathe the
pure. fresh air Of the country. and viii receive
the tender of hosts and hostesses who will
treat their little guests as their own children.
Henry Strader. of Port Jervis, has done faithful
and fruitful work for Fresh Air children for
long time Last winter he came to New-YorK and
took the time and pains 10 visit almost all Of the
children who had been to Port Jervis on Fresh
Air outings the summer before He went into
their homes. talked with the hard working fathers
and mothers. and when he returned TO Port Jervis
he told about his visits He had learned that the
children poor and deserving, and sadly In
need of fresh air. He told his friends and neigh
bors what ne had seen exactly and impartialIy,
They seconded his efforts with a generosity that
was whole hearted. and the result the transit
of those 120 little children from city country
yesterday. The people who help these children
may never know what good they are doing, for
they do not see the city side OF the AFFAIR But
there many who know full we'll and their word
may be taken for it that this good IS great and
hosts and hostesses of the Fresh Air children Is
