The matron of the Shelter, Miss Bentley, is making the best of everything as is evident by the.comfort and happiness of the chit- dren, and any contributions to the home will be well applied. The following contributions are gratefully acknowledged since kat meeting: R. Harding, Howick, *2; Xifia Lottie Bentley, $2; W, T. Pellow, Mrs. Robert Doak and Mrs. D.

A new sewing machine hae been installed as a neces- sity in the Work, and a musical instru- ment, either piano or organ, would be a most acceptable donation, the mat- .ron. being able to interest and enter- tain the children. Fostei homes are wanted for email boys, also for baby boy, and for a healthy baby girl one year old and one about two monthi old. It would be impossible to even men- tion, not to aa into details. the eepar- ate cases apalt with at this meeting. Some of them are pitiable and, sad, and one almost revolting,artd all show - trig •the great need of this charitable and soul -saving. work. If the eases - which have been dealt with in the past five years alone, arising in this county were simply classified and described, they would: be a surprise and -a reve- lation to the people of 111.1rOli. Pro- bably- every municipality in the county has furnished one or more of these cases, and the needs of the work will doubtless continue.
