FIRE AT PORTSMOUTH.
Citizens of and near Gettysburg, I expect you have all heard of the distressed situation of our Northern brethren. We see that in different parts of our state, monies are collecting up to forward to them, to relieve the distresses of the tender mother, the infant, the fatherless, &c. &c. Let us not be backward in doing our duty. Let the elderly citizens of Gettysburg call a meeting immediately, appoint a treasurer, and let the monies collected, be forwarded to Mr. W. W. Woodward, bookseller, Philadelphia, or to the committee at Portsmouth, in the state of New Hampshire.
HUMANITY.
