It will gratify our citizens to learn that I have distribute.! among the poor, white and colored, Bince last Friday m iming, seventy-two cords of wood, thus furn.shing upwards of two hundred families with temporary supplies. This wood cost the city $1.00 per cord delivered at our depot About a mont h hence I hope to have another sup ply. There is nowin hand a considerable quantity of cloth, givei me by tho factories for the poor, which will bo distributed as soon as I have time to attend to it. In the meantime 1 trust no one will bo making application for any o! it, as it is intended mainly for the orphans. I must beg our good ladies to seud to mv office at the post office secoud-hand clothes of all sorts, blankets, comforts, etc.,- anything that will make tho poor comfortable this cold weather. Especially I beg the shoe merchants and other friends to send me shoes suitable for children from ten to fourteen years of age. If our chari table citizens could see the hundreds of poor orphans who are compelled to tmdge through the biiow or on the frozen ground these mornings at daylight, l am sure they would send some shoes to my office or the means of purchasing them. Many of these orphans are barefoot to day. About ten days hence (D. V ) I shall be calling far ‘‘Chi Istmas for the poor.” And, lastly, as the preachers say, while I am doing what I can to relieve the wants of the poor, I am not without hope that it may occur to some body that 1 am poor and that my services are worthy of some recognition. ‘The laborer is worthy of his hire.’’ J.
