The Relief Fund

The Corresponding Secretary of the Relief Association has handed us the following list of contributions obtained by Mr. James Herron in Blue Grass township. A much larger amount can no doubt be raised when the roads become better. There is a sub-collector in the western townships, who will start out when the traveling becomes good: Dr. G. W. Carter, $3; Christian Meeks, $1; G. W. Baker, $1; Wm. Saunman, $1;G. W. Thorn, $2; J. B. Jacobs, $1; John Benshoop, Sr., $2; Rev. H. A. Barclay, $1; Mrs. Ellen McNissen, $1; J. F.
