the ladies of ST Matthew's congregation, in this
city, wall open FAIR, for the sale Of fancy and
of useful articles at Carusi's saloon. The object
which the ladies propose to themselves in thus
coming before the public for share of patron
age, is TO erect suitable dwelling for the Pastors
OF their Church; the necessity of which is OBJ
vious to all who are in the slightest degree ac-
quainted with the manner in which those reve-
rend gentlemen have thus far been accommo.

For several months these estimable ladies
have devoted their industry with unceasing at
tention to this laudable object the result of
their continued exertions does credit, no less to
the heart than the skill of each of them. We
have been favored with glimpse of some of
the articles thus prepared, and I'VE can conf
denty say, that never have more useful and
more beautiful articles been offered for sale at
any Fair given in this city. Two splendid sets
OF tapestry work, consisting, one, Of ottomars
stools, lable-cover, 6re-screens, &c. the other
OF kneeing stools, splendid sofa or union chair,
composed of three beautifully worked ottomans
or chairs, which, when united, form splendid
sofa I; and Of every variety Of tapestry work, the
beautiful production Of innocence, youth, and
beauty. Nor, as we are informed, is the fancy
alone concerned but, to suit the taste Of all,
articles Of wearing apparel for old and young
will form portion Of the display. To all, we
would say, go-aid by your presence and mite
the cause Of worth and Of charity. The smiles
of lovely woman, the kind wishes of those YOU
will assist, and the consciousness of having done
good work, will amply repay you
