The removal of the O’Donnell family from a tent into a comfortable house on the east end of Plum st. did not take place until this forenoon, arrangements not having been completed in time for the removal yesterday afternoon. Mr. O’Donnell is still seriously sick with pneumonia, but it is hoped that the change to more comfortable quarters will soon have a very favorable effect upon his disease. The prompt aleviations of the distressing condition of this family is mainly due to the Women’s Relief Corps: although the Epworth League also deserves considerable credit. In this connection we wish to say that this most noble and charitable organization, the Relief Corps, does not receive the help and encouragement it should from our people. Its entertainments for the benefit of its relief fund, ought to be attended much more generally than they are, and those who are financially able ought to contribute liberally to the fund. In no other way can they do better work for eharity.
