But as it is they are handed over to the role of a gang of plunderera, and then aeeused of disloyalty .if they complain. aint to our Ladies. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Mirror, writing under dateof January 13, gives this account of the formation of a society for the relief of the poor,, by a number of the leading Catholio ladies of that eity s Te LaDIss or CHAR1TW A new association, bearing thlq4.uly Chris tian name, has just been fori3do uhis city to assist the St. Vinlent de aul Society in its work of charity. A prellininary meeting was held at Carroll Hall .en last Monday morning, when about ffty ladies from the several par ishes were present. Among the number were the Mrs. tran, W. H. Ward. General Vincent, GeBnr Paul, Dr. Wo aLmn, Elli Boone, Clare,Hnilok, Kearon and 1Haycockie Misses co Worthington, Bosch, Annie Henna Eliza tt, and many others, whose names I have beoin unable'o obtain. A temporary organisation was efected byt the election of Mrs Ferran to the presideney. Miss Hoban to the secretaryship, and Miss Red fern to the treseuryship. Mrs. W. H. Ward was afterwards elected to the vice-presidenoy. Permanent committees on olothing, mending and visiting were then appointei. The object of the association is to colleot clothing of every description, mend the same when necessary, and then place it in a ward robe subjeot to the orders of the several Con ferences of the Ot. Vincent de Paul Society. A Another object is to assist the Conferences in visiting the poor, eapetalny poor women and children. The Ladies of COarity do not ask for money; old or new clothing, or mceial for making clothing, is all they ask iin thei appeal to the charitable Theassociation will meet in Carroll Hall every Monday morning, at ten o'clock, until after Easter. A large wardrobe is now being put up in their meeting room. This is a most excellent idea, and, if per severed in with zeal and judgment, must re sult in the alleviation of much of the distress of the suffering poor. It is a fact well known to our Rev. Clergy, and to the membersof the 8ocety of St. Vincent de Paul, that while the lack of sufoficient cloth log has brought many a poor person in this olity to the bed of sicknes, it has still more fre quently prevented parents frem going in searob of work. and rendered the retention of their ehildren from school an absolute necessity. We all know that there are hoodredasJof familiee who could and would heerfully give" their old clothing to the needy, if they but knew how to reach them, or of they were spared all the trouble which such a work would give. Of this we have had, recently, very practieal and conelaslvabproot Upon the call of the St. Vincent de Paul Sooiety, eadorsed by His Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, for second. handed olothing for tbianarer by the over fow, many thousand pleeei of .elothing were reeeived at this ofoe sodat theseveral depots established in different pas of the city. Will not some of .the many piouleas and oharitable women of our city awakes to the necessities of the times and, by giving sap two hoars a week, at least try to emulafe the noble example of their sisters in Washlington.

As our readers know, it is the work of our distinguished townswoman Mrs. Jennie Mort Walker, who, having been intimately acquainted with Captain Fry, de sired to preserve, in enduring form, the record of hie noble life for the admiration and emu lation of our youth, while at the same time as sisting his large and helpless family. The book is gotten up in the best style of the great Burr publishing company of Hartford; con tains six hundred pages, royal octavo, and is fully illustrated. As it is only sold by subscription, those "of our readers who desire to secure copies should not fall to give in their name, when called upon by the agent, Mr. J. H. Wentworth, who was sent from the North to canvases this city. He bhas been at work here for four weeks and, with the assistance of Mr. Rougelot, who has taken charge of the canvass in the lower pert of the city, has snooeeded in gettinog several hundred subscribers. Among the num ber are His Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, and many of our Rev. Clergy. We understand that the canass at trh North has been far more sncessful, but, feel satisfied that were prosperity more general, the South would, in proportion to its population, give twice as many subseribers as any other section of the Union. This woold be a Acting tribute from the land of his birth to the memory of the noble Southern patriot, who spent Lthe tiry Besr of his manhood in the service of his counstry, rd the record of whose life illus tretes, in all its simple grandeor, the characteE of the true Amerloan hero. Mr. Wentworth ·na his asistant will, we understand, continue the anvas her till the books arrive, when they will be deivered, at one, to absrbers.
