REAL DISTRESS.

(to the bditob op thb soitteljlKß. tnaa.) Sib,— l feel it my duly to draw public attention to the case of the widow and young children of Henry Smith, killed on the East Eoad yesterday. They are really deserving of the mite of every person in the province, as they are in a most destitute condition, without any means whatever, and almost without the necessaries of life at the present time. I am sure this needs only to be known to induce the public to subscribe to alleviate their distress. Could not the Philharmonic Society, or the Dramatic Club give a performance for so grand an object as the relief of tht fatherless and the widow.— l am, Ac.,. Feb. 20th. Nil Debpebandum.

The reason hereof is, be- , cause the Sea-water is salt, and so with his Nit-:.
