DEPEE, 334 South Street, JACOB C. WHITE, 100 Old York Road, and PASSMORE WILLIAMSON, southwest cor. Seventh and Arch Streets.

Any funds contributed to either of them, or placed in the hands of their Treasurer, Charles Wise, corner of Fifth and Market Streets, will be sure of a faithful and judicious appropriation. |
