Relief for the volcano sufferers.

MIR. I. E. Wallace. assistant postmas-
ter, requests US to state that the gov
eminent has authorized postmasters
and presidents of national banks to re-
ceiye subscriptions for the fund to re-
lieve the sufferers in Martinique and St.
Vincent on account of their appalling
condition by reason Of the destructive
volconic eruptions in those islands.
The readers of the papers are fully
apprized of the horrible situation of the
people i'll the volcanic regions and it il
not necessary to make an appeal in
their behalf. The humanity in every
person who has the means will prompt
him to send to either the postmaster
or the bank presidents whatever
amounts they desire to donate for this
cause.
