Another year las passé d in the history of the "Ladies' Charitable Union," bringing greater changes imong its members tlian the preceding year. Since our last annual meeting death has eutered our society and taken two of 18 prominent originators, Mrs. D. S. Wood and Mrs. II. Gelston, names whlch will ever be held in grateful remembrance by many poor families in this city. Seveuteen years ago a company of noble christian women assembled in the Methodist church to organize the present "Charitable Union ;" of that large number of christian workersbut two are stlll active raembers, Mrs. Phoebe Steele and Mrs. Maria Gilbert, who Uave not grown " weary in well doing," but luive proved themselves faithful and true tothe principies of the constitution. During the past year ten regular meetings of the society have been held, with an average attendanceof sixteen ; and we close the record of the year with a inemberehip of lilty-nine, an increase of tweiity-four over the nuniber of last year. A much greater interest has been ïnanifested y persons who are not enmlled raeinben tlian previously; this s evident from the frequent contiibutions of money and gupplies which have been rrccived. Forty tour families have been assisted in varióos way?. One hundred and twcnty-eight charity calis have brei) made, and sccond-hand clotliinv valued at $77.25 has been distributed. Baskctof provifions from individunl, and from church fei-tivals, have frequently been donated to nredy families. The society isgre;itlv indebted to Messrs.
