>ll you not halt your ‘ brave columns* and stav

an admiring world takes a brief gaze at vour glo

“The Elystan winds sweeping down the defiles

you to reap the whirlwind, and no one but yam

known that the Soldiers’ Aid Society of this place
lias lieen in active operation again for three weeks
past. Daring that time we have received from
be hands of our citizens $133.83 in cash, beside
donations ot muslin, trimmings, fruit, etc. We
have forwarded to the L . 8. twinilarv Commission
46 quarts canned Jelly and fruit; 106 new sbirts,
60 partly worn : 60 new pairs drawers, 13 partly
worn; 80 handkerchiefs and 16 linen coa's, beside
sheets, pillows. limb-cushions, old linen, etc. One
lady collected, for the Society, over 120 yaids of
muslin—another. $60.00 in cash. Will not others
do likewise ? We have met with a heanv response
from a sympathetic public, but the emergency is
great, ar.dfurther contributions are needed. Then
are noble souls among our townswomen who cheer
fully give their- time and labor when material Is
furnished them to work on.
The Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the U. S. Sanitary Commission writes us. on re
ceipt of our stores — u W e congratulate your So
epeiT on us life -and vigor, and feel ourselves the
■Wronger for such co-workers. We shall enquire
for the Blair coonty men in our hospitals; and we
undertake (gratuitously, of coarse,) to ascertain
whereabouts qf any soldier, tor the comfort o(
family.’' They, jdao tell us they are much in need
of cushions about ten or twelve inches square,
covered with oilcloth ; also, bandages, carpet shoes,
cotton socks, blackberry jelly and brandy . Will
not our fanners;and inhabitants of neighboring
towns aid us in this noble cause bv sending us
money, pickles, onions, berries, old linen or mus
lin, oilcloth tor cushions, or anything thev can
spare, as every little aids; and when we reflect
that the subjects of these labors and donations are j
men who have been willing to give their lives tliat j
we and our descendants may enjoy the inestima
ble blessing of liberty, wo must feel that no sacri
lioe on our part can equal dieirs. and we can onlv
show our grateful appreciation by doing all in UU r
power to mitigate their sufferings. |
Any contributions may be left at the Methodisi !
