The matter was referred back for further consideration by the committee. It was announced that it was expected that Col Chas. C. Jones might be expected to lecture before the Society during this winter. Kon. Solomon Cohen was appointed to read a paper before the Society at its next meeting, on his observations in Europe. TheSoeiety then adjourned for one month. Tarns With Baltimobe.—Ever since the close of the war the trade between this city and Baltimore has been' steadily increasing, until it has attained to very respectable di mensions. The people .of that “rebellious city,” which, during the war required the constant presence of a heavy force of United States troops, and constantly threatening, which were frowning batteries of guns, were in direct sympathy of the people of the South in their straggle for independence; and when the war closed its merchants were more liberal ly disposed towords those of the South than were those of the more Northern cities, and oar people felt more disposition to trade with them. As time has progressed the tact has developed itself that Baltimore is about as goad a market for our commodities as can be found; while purchases of such articles as are needed for the trade here can be made there at figures equally as low as elsewhere; while bacon and Western produce is much cheaper. These .facts becoming apparent quite a lively trade has sprung up between this city and Baltimore, and the steamers on the lino between the two places are carrying very heavy ^cargoes each trip. Bcsnress Transacted S* the United States Coubts.—At the commencement of the late session of the United States Circuit Court there were two hundred and seven ty-eight cases on the common law docket, of which fourteen were' settled, eleven discontinued, and_ judgment taken in one hundred and fifty-six; and ninety-seven were continued. On the Appearance docket there were two hundred and seventy-three cases, of which six were discontinued, and forty-eight judgments taken, the rest being continued. A great many cases on this docl:- ei were suits against bank stockholders. In Equity there were fifty-two cases, of which number there were 31 decrees taken, discontinuances, &c, ; In the United States District Court there were forty-eight cases on the common law docket, of which thirty were disposed of. In Admiralty there were twenty-niue cases oa the docket, of which eighteen were dis posed of. • ' - In bankruptcy eighty-four final discharges were granted. The Teaqedy of Saturday Nicest Last.— The full particulars of the terrible tragedy on Thunderbolt 103d, on Saturday night last, published in the Morning News of yesterday, created on immense demand for our paper. Upwards of three thousand copies were cir- calaied in the city, and the demand fell short by nearly five hundred, more. Subsequent reports prove what We then presented to our readers to be correct, and we have nothing more to add. The affair will be ferreted out, and when anything is done that can be made pnhlic without defeating the ends of justice, we shall’present the facts to our readers. Ur. John Quint still survived his wounds last evening, but there are few hopes enter tained of his ever recovering, and that his death at any moment is likely to oocur. Hopes are entertained- that Mr. Brickman will survive, bnt he te in a very critical con dition. Mastick is doing well. Fcsebax of Mb. Bbqadbackeb.—The fune ral of Mr. Frederick Broadbaeker, who was murdered by negroes, on Thunderbolt road °u Saturday night, took place at three o’clock yesterday afternoon, from his late residence, ou Lover’s Lane. It was very largely attend ed by friends of the deceased, the Germania firs Company, De Kalb Rifles, and Turners’ Society were in attendance with a band of music, and the body was escorted to the grave to the ajow, sad ■ music of the dead march. The funeral procession , was quite taagthy, very many citizens being in attend ee as a mark of respect to the memory of “ae who was murdered while in the discharge M his duty as an officer of the law- Deceas 'd was interred in Laurel Groye Cemetery. «ace to his ashes; and may the brutes who murdered him be brought to justice. hlWES' MaSAZISES AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS, —The following raagaiin.ea and papers have been received at Estill’s News pepot; Godey's Lady’s-Book, for January, .1869; feterson’s Lady’s Magazine, for January, Leslie’s Pleasant Hours, for January-, i, 8 ®; The Bound Table; The Nation; La fork Weekly, Re, §; Appleton’s Railroad ““de, for December; several varieties ot Al manacs for 1869, Charleston, Savannah and Floeida Steam- 2041 Line.—We direct the attention of our te aders to the new advertisement in another the time at which those ““Waite boats, the Dictator.and City Point, S?d leave this city hereafter for Florida and charleston.

StoeeFtve Dollars.—Lunnon Williams, a “dble African, stole five dollars from John d? 8 ’ another negro. Lunnon was arrested rr“ brought before Justice Smith and held. 10 bail for larceny. . The Hebrew Collegiate Institute Fair. —According to previous announcement the fair for the benefit of the." Hebrew Collegiate tut m opened last evening, at St. Andrew’s Hall. The hall, since last it was opened to the public, has been newly painted, scoured, and so fitted up that it looks very fine, while ■the garlands of evergreen with which the room is decorated, the bright and glistening articles on the tables, combined, make a very pleasing effect; and the visitors upon enter-- ing the door cannot hut pause a moment to' survey the apartment and take in its many beauties. Immediately to the right of. the door of the hall stands the post office, that invariable ac companiment of all fairs, which is generally used to furnish fun and amusement for all visitors. Miss Fannie Levy is in charge of this department, and in the various letter boxes of her little office has charming billet- doux for all who apply. In making the circuit of the room, we next come to the' table' presided over by Mrs. Lewis Lippman. It occupies the northwest comer of the hall, and really looks like a scene of enchantment. A beautiful effect has been produced here by the intertwining of crystals in the evergreen trimming. A very handsome display of fancy articles is made by Mis. Lippman, and there are many beautiful things which should find ready pur chasers. A set of silver is here offered for sale, by chances, which is one of the finest that we ever saw exhibited at any fair. The “King Cotton Girls” are interesting young ladies, beautiful in feature, and graceful in form, and they at once attract the eye of the visitor. There are fancy goods of all kinds, vases, caps, toilet setts, needlework, and other things too nnmerons for us to mention in a short article. Continuing on the stroll, the table or rather the tables under the direction of Mrs. B. D’C. Lewin, cannot fail to attract the at tention of all who visit the fair. They are a per fect scene of beauty, and in its general ar rangement challenge admiration.' The first table is filled with a very excellent collection of fancy articles, of use to everybody.. On the second table the collection is really su perb. In the centre of the table there is a very unique affair, a representation of the “Old woman, who lived In a shoe, She had so many children she didn’t Know what to do." The old lady sits at the top of a huge shoe, while her many children spring up from all parts of the shoe, and are tumbling over the sides, and conducting themselves in such a manner as to create anxiety in the mind of the aged parent. A massive silver fireman’s trum pet, one of the most magnificent that we ever saw, beautifully chased and ornamented, is on exhibition here, and by paying one dollar, visitors are allowed the privilege of deposi ting a vote in favor of giving the article to their favorite fire company. There is also a neat, handsome and very novel arrangement in the Bhupe of a ciger case and music box combined. A handle in the top throws open a number of doors, on the inside of which are cigars, in racks. The act of opening the -doors starts the musical works into Operation, and the smoker can take his comfort with his fine Havana, and at. the same time his ears are saluted with delightful music. This novel arrangement is to be presented to the City Alderman who re ceives the most votes. Mrs. Lewin has also a very handsome silver set, and a copy of Dante’s Inferno, illustrated by Dore, the only copy in Savannah, which is offered for sale by chances. An infant’s dress of the finest quality of muslin, trimined-wilh elegant lace, made by Mrs. Lewin herself, is one of the principal features of the table. Portraits of the clergy of the city and of the Faculty of the Institute also adorn the miniature store, together with a very large assortment of fancy goods. Next in order is the refreshment table, where Mrs. J. C. Levy offers for sale cakes, delicious and tempting confectionery of every description, and the charming sweetmeats which are palatable and delightful. The whole stage is filled up as a restaurant, and dining and supper room. Here the most tempting bill of fare is presented at all times, and those who go to the fare can regale themselves with viands such as tali not to the lot of humanity at all times. Mrs. Octavus Cohen is Directress Of this department; and has set forth such a display of. edibles as is not often seen, and ivhich makes people hungry just to look at it. Directly in front of the stage is a perfect lit tle bower of beauty formed of moss and natural flowers, where Miss Mamie Cohen offers to the thirsty a delicious, cooling beverage—fit Nectar for tbe Gods. On the east side of the room, next to the stage, Mrs. Selig and Mrs. Guckeuheimer have a. variety store, where all sorts of toys can be purchased; the ciinningest little Swiss cottages, all fitted up and turnished, dolls and playthings in profusion, a model of Tom Thumb’s house, and everything to please the children. The articles have been tastefully' arranged, and the variety store is a very beau tiful feature of the fair. Toy3, we are told, will, be sold equally as cheap as they can be purchased elsewhere, and as the assortment is an excellent one, a good opportunity is of fered to those who widh to purchase Christ inas goods. Mrs. B- Fisher has the nest table, where there is a’grand display of faney goods. An elegant dressing gown cannot fail to be no ticed by all who walk in that direction; while a handsome set of silver and another of china will cause all housekeepers to want to take a- chance. The twin babies, in their bed, draws the attention of the children, and affords an opportunity to some parent to make his child happy bv its purchase. Mrs. i’foaes Cohen has the last fancy table, which is gorgeously arranged with everything to charm the eye and delight the senses. There are excellent portraits of Davis and Lee, a toilet stand, talking doll, and just tbe things for a gentleman—a smoking cap, to bacco pouch and slippers, most elegantly adorned. Mrs. Cohen ha 3 “13° a refreshment stand, upon which is a wonder of the pastry cook’s art, in the shape of a cocoanut pyra mid, cakes,candies and very delightful drinks. She has also charge of a gift tree, filled with little things to please the children. The whole arrangement of the fair is fully equal to that of the last Hebrew fair held at Masonic Hall, which was bo largely attended, and which furnished so mueh enjoyment to all. It is given for the purpose of raising funds to defray the expenses of erecting a building for the Hebrew Collegiate Institute, which has been in successful operation for some time. The fair should be liberally pa tronized, and every person should be willing to contribute something towards increasing the educational facilities of tne city. The Institute is nof at- all Sectarian in its charac ter, youths of alj donommations being ad mitted, and given a good education, by com petent teachera Where they can afford to do so they pay ; if they are too poor, they are received free. It is a good school, and only needs a building, with proper facilities, to make it more prosperous. The {air will eon- tinue open all the week, and W? advise all of our readers to attgnd it, and contribute all thev can to make it a success pecuniarily. Theatrical.—Another very fine audience was attracted the Theatre last evening, notwithstanding thp disagreeable nature of the weather. Miss Charlotte Thompson ap peared in the charming play of Fanchon, The Cricket, and in the role of “ Fanchon proved herself without a rival, The part was per fection, and nothing short of it. She was graceful,'natural, easy, and in-every respect acted in the life, the ideal Fanchon. Many of the scenes were very fine, especially the “shadow dance," the “Maypole dance,” &c. Mr Sutton and Mr. Beese acquitted then* selves well as the “twin brothers—Landry and Didier,” nnd Mr. Harrison, as the “an- t jent Barbaud,” >vos fully equal to the ocea- S1< The afterpiece, Dodging for a Wifi, caused the audience to really shout with mirth, and was one of the best things of the season. This evening Miss Thompson will appear in the renowned French play— Camille; or the Fate of a Coquette. The performance to con clude with the roaring farce—4 Kies m Che Dark. ,, The Whitaker Steeet Kailway.—We un derstand that the iron rails, &e., for the Whitaker street railway, have been ordered from the Tredegar Works, at Richmond, la., and that it is expected here in the coarse of two or three weeks. The road Can be built almost in forty-eight hours after the iron and wood work is ready, and Col. Symons the energetic superintendent, is sanguine that Messrs. Bradley & Callahan, the contractors, will enable him to give our citizens a nde over the road on the first day of January, next. ~ ' ’es’ Courts.—There was very lit- 1 e ‘ioing yesterday, except civil business. raiaii Letter of ThaSks.—The Chief of Police yesterday received a letter from the wife of policeman Beed, who died from the effects: of wounds received in the riot, on the third of November, returning thanks for the very liberal donation of fifty-seven dollars, con tributed by the citizens of Savannah, for her future support. Her husband had been out of employ for some time previous to his ap pointment upon the police force, and he had only been a member of tijat organization for two weeks, at tbe time of his death. His wife is left utterly destitute, with a family of small-children, for whose support and her own she will have to toil and work hence forth. And as a mark of their appreciation of the noble and heroic conduct of her bus- band, who gave up his life in defence of the property and lives of our citizens, they have sent his widow—What ? Enough to keep her from want in future years ? A sum sufficient for her, by economy and care, to keep herself and children comfortable, until they are grown old enough to work ? No ! nothing of the kind. In testimony of appre ciation of his bravery and self-sacrificing spirit of the dead policeman, they have given his widow fifty-seven doUwrs. Had it not come to her in a moment when grief and sorrow for the loss of her protector were too great for her to givet hought-to other matters, we venture to say that the true spirit of the woman wonld have rebelled, and the paltry sum have been returned as an insult to the memory of the dead. In the Mayor’s annual report for 1868, the amount of taxable real estate in this city is stated at $11,155,492. Over eleven millions of dollars worth of property within the tax able limits of the city; hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of properly not taxed by the city; personal property, perhaps a million more, a white population of almost thirty thousand people; all .this property, all these lives were saved from destruction that day, perhaps, by the firm stand made, and the brave and noble condnct of the police, and those by whom they were assisted. With these facts staring us in the face, it is a last ing disgrace that the sum contributed for the support of the families of those who lost their lives, was not swollen to thousands. Fifty-seven dollars to console .the. widow and her children for the loss of a husband and father. Fifty-seven dollars to dry- their tears, and place them beyond fear of want in the future. Fifty-seven 'dollars is the value set upon the life of a policeman. Verily, if we rely upon our chanty to “cover a.multi tude of sins," when we come to render up our accounts of the deeds done in the body, we shall be weighed in the balance and found terribly wanting. We wonder that the policemen do not, as did one of old, betake themselves to sackcloth and ashes; and wring their hands and cry aloud—Oh, Savannah! Savannah! Would to God we had died for thee, that thou mightst contribute fifty-seven dollars for the future support of our families! Capture of an Old Escaped Pbisoneb.— Our Chief Detective, Lieutenant Wray, pos sesses in a great degree the faculty of re membering those who have ever come under his official oontrol; and on passing through the market yesterday morning, he met a negro whose face appeared familiar. The following conversation ensued: Lieutenant to negro—Halloe 1 Are you back here again ? Negro—Yes. Gwine to stay back too. Lieutenant—TO have something to say about how long you’ll stay. Here (to a po liceman) take this fellow to the Barracks, and have him locked up. The negro was none other than Kafe Knight, one of the most notorious negro thieves that ever operated in this section. About two years ago he wa8 in jail here for committing a series of heavy robberies; and be, in company with eleven others, by bri bin'; members of tbe gnard which was there at that time, succeeded iu making their es cape. Afterwards he was beard of iu Au gusta, where he and others stole a safe, were arrested and sent to jail. About six months ago-be made his-cscape from there, and, al though diligent search was made for him. he was never caught until yesterday, when Lieu tenant Wray met him in the market Kafe evidently thought that he had been away from bore Jong enough to be forgotten, and that he would he safe in Savannah. He will he sent back to Augusta to serve out his im prisonment W : A Fight About 4 Lqveb.—Rachael John? son, a maiden, whose skin resembles-the pol ish of Cirage Francais, fell in love -with a manly form of dusky hue, and longed to. re pose her beautiful head upon thW Wquly “buzaum-" Unlike the lady about whom Mr. Shakspeare tells, she did not “ Let concealment like a worn; i* tile bud, Prey on her'duqjtec clreek.". Bachael was not of that class of females, She was not ashamed of her love, and cared not if all the world should know of it Ra chael was happy—happy as an oyster in a mild bank, and her days were passed in bliss that knew no ending. Bnt, a change came o’er the the spirit of her dream; her ears drank in words of fatal import, and her eyes saw sights which maddened her. For the object of her adoration, if be did not love, was at least beloved by another female, known by the musical appellation of Martha Breen. In a furious passion Baohael soqghl out Martha- “Dost thou love?” exclaimed the injured damsel. *T dost"—said Martha. “Then,” said Rachael, you had better ‘.‘dust,” and at the same time she boxed Martha's ears with a clap-board. Thus fairly opened, the engagement soon became general, and a terrific fight ensued, iu which the.be:mtiful eyes of each haaiden were damaged, white their nasal organs were made flatter than ever,, and wool was plenti fully soattered fthont, ae each tore from their resting place the jetty curls of the other. They fit a tremendous fight and then-went oft' and sued each other for assault and battery and breach of the pence. JlUtice Fhilip M. Russell, Jr., accommodated them with war rants, and both were held to bail, to await examination. “Honored be woman; she beams in our sight Graceful and fair aa a being of light— Scatters around her, wherever she strays, Roses of bliss on our thorn-covered ways.” Selling Out. — Clothing and gents’fur nishing goods retailed at New York whole sale prices, by S. Krauskopt, 181 Congress street, near Jefferson- M A View op Savannah. —Som® time uinae we announced the arrival in our city of Mr. Al phonse Pasquet, of the Parisian Photograph Company. Sinoe his arrival here Mr. P. has taken views of all the prominent places in the city and vicinity, including many fine views of public buildings and private residences, all of which have been pronounced by all who have seen them to be splendid pictures. We are indebted to him. for . one of the latest views, a large phqtograph of Savannah, taken from a stand point from which not few of our citizens -will.reeRpi?e ft® City, but yet it is in-every respect a correct view. Tbe photograph is taken from tbe roof of one of the upper Bice - mills, and includes an excel lent scene on the river, .Rfeaigei-a, vessels, country hguimei, enj-top. sheds, etc., and the city in the rear. It is Savannah from a novel position. The picture reflects credit upon the artist. Sir. Pasquet has been very suc cessful in his travels, wtiich cover the whole country, nnd his album contains views of all parts of North America- Bankruptcy.—A petition to be adjudged a bankrupt, was tiled in the Clerk’s office of the U.

A. Mayor's Conn. Hen. E.'C. Andebson, Mayor, Presiding. Monday, December 7, 1868. The Court was densely crowded with spec tators and prisoners this morning,-nnd the effluvia was anything bnt agreeable. Edward Lewis, an old dead beat, soaked to the skin with whiskey, and whose carcass would be a prize to a distiller, comes up reg ularly once a week for being drunk in the street. Edward was sent-tojail to be made of use to society by devoting his labors to the improvement of the publio streets, for twenty days. Catherine Hargrave, a great, strapping negro wench, went to the market on Satur day night, and bought some cakes from Mrs: Danenfelser. Afterwards she wanted to return the stuff and get the money back, which proposition Mrs. D. would not listen to, whereupon Catherine proceeded to abuse her in a very outrageous manner, for which Bhe was arrested. Catherine wiis fined three dollars and Mrs. Danenfelser the same amount, for not attending court as a witness. Anderson Williamson, negro, a dealer in timber and lumber, found a pile of flooring boards iu the street, and abstracted several of them without the knowledge or consent of the owner thereof. He was arrested with the boards in his possession, and the case was submitted to Lieut. Wray for investiga tion. An ngly-looking Yamncraw wench, called Louisa Jackson, was mad at a feminine of her own race and chased her through the street, threatening to kill her with an axe. Louisa obstinately refused to answer any question put to her by His Honor, the Mayor, and was sent to jail for thirty days. Miss Sarah Jones, a young colored lady, with aristocratic notions, was found lying asleep under a stoop on Saturday night Whether or not she was the “pretty little Sarah" spoken of in the song, we did not as certain; but, whoever she was her lodgings cost her five dollars. A white man was fined ten dollars and costs for obstructing the sidewalk on Broughton street, near West Broad street. A large gang of negroes .were then called up, who gave their names, and origin ns fol lows: James Harris, from Liberty county; Joshua Middleton, Beaufort, S. C.; Charles Green, Savannah; Frank GilUston, Beaufort, S. C.; Lewis McIntosh, Savannah; Bob Christopher, Thunderbolt; John Jones, Sa vannah; Dick Roberts, Beaufort, S. C.; David Green, Wilmington; Frank Green, Savannah; John Deligal, Harry Brown, John Williams, George Williams, Savannah; James Lord, Ogeechee; Henry Williams, Sam Coleman, Savannah; Isaiah Thompson, Ogeechee; No ble Sams, Andrew Brown, John Thomas, Sa vannah; Rohert Hamilton, Beaufort; An- dreir Williams, Savannah; Jim Jones, Mem- S his, Tenn.; Hector Bush, Ogeechee; Robert loultrie, Georgetown, S. C.; Louisa Murphy, Savannah; Ann Taylor, Liberty county; Ju lia Brown, Charleston; Gallie Powell. Savan nah. r These parties were arraigned for having a public shouting, without permigsion from the Mayor, and for violating the ‘Sabbath ordi nance, in having a shouting oh Sunday morn ing. These negroes were all iu an old honse, in Jones’ flold, about four or five hundred yards from where Broadbaeker was murder ed, on Saturday night; yet, strange to say, not one of them heard the shooting, or knew anything about any disturbance having taken place. Many of them were armed, and their conduct was extremely disorderly. The noise made by them attracted the attention of the police, nnd Lieut. Bell, with a squad of men, went to the place and arrested the whole gang. After hearing what they had to say, they were disposed of by His Honor as fqj-t Iowa; Jim Harris, keeper- of the place, fined ten dollars and costs; Jim Jones, resisting police man, ten dollars; Bob Christopher, second offence, eight dollars; Charles Green, Frank Gilliston, Diek Roberts, David Green, having arms on their persons, five dollars each; Joshua Middleton, Lewis McIntosh, John Jones, Frank Green, John Deligal, Harry Brown, John Williams, Qeorge Williams, Janqua Lord, H°ury Williams, Sain Coleman, Isaiah, Thompson, Noble Sams, Andrew Brown, John Thomas, Robert Hamilton, An drew Williams, Heo(or Bush, Robert Moul-; trio, Louisa Murphy, Ahu Taylor and Gallie Powell, each four dollars; arid Julia Brown, for impertinence to officers, eight dollars. In case of default, the parties to be sent to jail for terms in proportion to the fines, but none for less than twelve days. The case of Carrie. Herreba, charged with disorderly conduct, continued from Saturday, was dismissed far want of-jurisdiction. —. Naw Mail Routes.—Col. W. T.

AJUU Foraalelow. by_ Ladies’ 'Itntvolent Association* At im annul meeting of. the Ladies’ Benevolent Association, held in the lcctoro-room of the Independ ent Presbyterian Church, Monday, November -joth, after the transaction of the regular business, the yearly report of Lie Fir.-: Directress was submitted to L-'ICts of t: • licnrvolent Association : J ** The re vie v of ilia closing third yeur of our organi zation reca s gra eful memories of favors from those friendly to •: it ca ise, and of blessings that have coino to our bea is fix in those who have received at year hands the relief, scanty though it has seemed, yet so thoroughly ippru-iaUd by them. We commenced our winter ' -’urk December, 1867, with hut $21 5S ia our Treusu^yt*r?a conformity with the resolutions of that meetii j, e* ra exertions were made to secure a larger mem -crsl p, resulting in the addition of over ~ * lines to our subscription list. The a. ds not being equal to the demand upon us, me nec osity of doing something inoro be came very -?vid" nt. Accordingly, we undertook a Festival ana Con icrt combined, being kindly assisted by the Quartette Club of the city; aud, though the weather wa > ver r inclement, we had a share of suc cess, and r-alii i . With this we distributed twenty-five bush- Is of meal per month for the months of January. Febi oary and March. We also purchased fifteen cords ot v ood from Messrs. Butler & Hardwick and Mr. J. K. Mu inerlyn. And in February purchase d from Mr. Blakewobd, icrty-livc cords of oak and fif teen cords of pine, eleven miles from the city on the Central Railroad, President Wadley not only furnish ing us transportation, bnt also providing a place f or its deposit. Mr. Marti* Tufts attended to the distri bution of it to the holders of our* tickets; and though the Association attempted to express their Sen?e of obligation to both of these gentlemen, by a note of thanks, we shall ever feel ourselves deeply indebted to them for the generous assistance which came so op portunely, enabling us to supply to* many Weary, wretched children of poverty. We found the wood a very acceptable and needed help to many a poor fam ily, not only those living on the outskirts of the city, but some upon whom the sun of prosperity once smiled, were gladly content with, and grateful for. a tvood ticket. Wood and grits or meal tickets, with small anus of money, constituted our relief for the winter months. ■ The ladies of the committee do not give money un less absolutely necessary, as they find In many in stances, it is improperly used, being spent by the re cipient for opium or liquor, that in the oblivion of the one or the excitement of the other, they might forget the misery of a pinched and wretched life. The first of April, after drawing {$28 00) for the use of our visiting committee, we had but three cents left in our treasury. And again the’necessity arose of maki ng special efforts to increase opr funds. We then tried Tableau and Concert combined. The Quartette Club of the city rallying nob’y to our assis tance, with many other fri ends to whom we have al ready made our aclmow! Igements. The result was $340 09 in our Treasury for the.pnrchase of one hun dred rounds of tea from the Great American Tea Company of Now York, and one tierce of rice. Weifrsued tickets for tea, rice and sugar, and ar ranged with Messrs. A. M. & C. W. West, of Liberty street, to keep and distribute the articles to the hold ers of t : ckets, they furnishing the sugar. This, with fifteen bushels of meal per month, constituted our re lief for tiie summer months. About the middle of August our supply, of rice be ing exhausted, the 'Messrs. West supplied ninety pounds, st twelve and a half cents per pound, to fill our orders. \ This arrangement ceased September 1st. when the remainder of the tea wss turned over to Miss Sans ay. Acting Directress, and by her distributed to the com mittees of the'differen„ districts. ' Mr. B. F. Sanford who had furnished the meal for nearly two years, retiring from the business, arrange ments were made with Mr. Wm. Greene, which still exist From the report of tbe last five months rendered at a special meeting tbe third Monday iu November, we found-that our very obliging Treasurer, Mr. R. H. Footman, had allowed the association to exceed the funds in his hands, to tho amount of $84 00, and for his patience with Us, as well as for the very desirable accommodation, we owe him our hearty thanks. You have aeon from the report of the Treasurer that our receipts for the past year have been— From subscribed $183 00 From festival and tableau 814 00 Donations 170 00 Total... $1,172 00 Expenditures— For grits and meal $261 91 For wood 363 10 For rice 62 63 For sugar ............. 20 13 Tea and freight 61 04 To Visiting Committee, expenses of festival and tableau 123 17 ! »OTIflfe* Total $1,156 93 Balance in treasury $15 07 From report of Secretary we have distributed: one hundred cords of wot/d, one hundred pounds of toa, two hundred bushels of meal, seven hundred and sixty-eight pounds of rice, one hundred and thirty- five pounds of sugar, and havo assisted over seven hundred families during the year. We should have began our-New Year in debt, but for the help which came to us so Opportunely last Sat urday in the donation of one'hundred dollars, being the result of a bet on the cotton crop, the winner giv ing us the benefit, and we think our society a very good depository for all such bets. To-day another do nation of twenty dollars was received from a promi nent citizen of well known benevolence. To these aud ah the other friends who have helped us the past year we return thanks. Among whom wo mention our good friend, Mr. George N. Nichols, for repeated favors in printing. To the daily papers for advertisements and generous notices of us in our work. To Dr. Charters, for donations of calico and flannel, and many others whose names have already appeared. . . In May last our esteemed Secretary, Miss R. W. Reid, resigned the position so happily filled by her *inca our organization. And Miss M. Nevitt being unanimously elected in her Btead, entered upon the duties of tne office in June, performing them with ad mirable exactness and promptitude to the-present time. * . i « ' ■ We find ourselves under peculiar circumstances to day. A time when every one feels poor—a time of such stringency in the money market, that the necessity of extreme caution compels even those who have means to be watchful lest they become seriously involved. And i<* this effects those who have—how does It not dis tress those who havt not. . many oi them come to us for work only, but there are many others whom we find prostrate and depend ent upon ciiaritrlor even the cup of cold water, which is often all that neighbor or friend can bestow. These receive and use the little we can give so eagerly and so sparingly, that it rebukes the waste to which so many, easy households in this, oity are wit- ^tf we have see a carelessness and imprudence with poverty, wc hm\ ^ cofteq been surprised that, a half peck of meal tad a quarter cord of wood could gosQfii?. ^ And fiQW ladies of the Committee, and you officers of the Association, allow me to thank you for your courage and che ;rfnlness in, sustaining all the efforts of the past year, your duties and visitations involving much self-denial, and extremely ardous at times, have not been in vain. . * , Your hearts can already testify from previous ex periences that it ig ‘‘better than to receive,*’ and we trust the. blessing of Him that considereth the poor will surely bo yours. We mqst not dwell too long on what we have done, the necessity presses earnestly now to no more. What we shall do this winter is for yon and a gener ous public to decide. Upon motion the report was received and adopted and directed to be published, hoping thereby to in form our old friends of what has been done and to se cure new ovies. The following officers were re-elected: Mrs. A. Wil bur. 1st Directress; Mrs. M. Nevitt, Secretary; Miss Or. Saussy, 2d Directress; 11..H.Footman, Treasurer. ^ ^ S § Sj t TO ECONOMISE, ADVERTISE IN The Montgomery Mail Pceushed at-Montgomery, Axa.
