Cleona Township

Mr. Thos. M. Harley, collector of the Relief Association, for the township of Cleona, has transmitted to the treasurer the result of his labors. Ninety-six persons have been called on, of whom fifty-five contributed $33.50; some of the remainder promised to when they obtained the money. Two positively refused to give anything for such a purpose. Mr. Harley reports inability to make anything of the weekly subscriptions, on account of the sparse settlement of the township. This kind of contribution will not probably work very well in the country anywhere, but it ought to bring in a good deal of money in town. Mr. Harley expresses his indebtedness to Messrs. Stevens, Murray and Schaumen, for assistance rendered him in securing contributions, The following are the subscriptions in Cleona:
