This Society -was called Into existence atja puhllo meeting of citizen's for the purpose of relieving cases of sickness anddestitution which the Rclioving Officer could not so well deal with, Tho frequent appeals to tho citizens of Anok] land for charitable aid have become burden some, and tho help given being unsystematic is not only ineffectual but sometimes wasted on •ho undeserving. Convinced that tho public will be saved muoh annoyanco frpm bogging, and expense, and that this organisation will do more real good to tho poor and needy than isolated benevolent efforts, tho Committco ap peal for support. They will administor with great caro ail funds entrusted to thorn, and cause strict inquiries to bo made into such ap plications for relief. Whenever possible, they will try to avert a tendency to pauperism by getting work for men and women, thus making them self-reliant. You arc therefore, respect fully invited to pay to tho Treasurer, or any of tho Committee, whatever you may feel disposed to give, to enable the Committoo to carry out the above objects. N.H.—Tho Secretary can generally be seen at his private residence, Wellasloy-streot W. (three doors above Nelson-Btreet), any ovoning botween '.he hours of 7 and 9. MR ARCH. BUCHANAN, SOLICITOR. .
