This class, eighty-two in num.- ;| her, expressing a desire to be taught, appeal to i our sympathies for immediate aid. We may , well reiterate the inquiry, suggested by a zeal- j , on* friend of this cause, when looking at the destitution in this comparatively favored city;| “if the women of New Kogland oould raise fifty , j thousand dollar* to complete Bunker Hitt Mon-,: ument, a memento of battles and blood, cannot the women of Ohio raise five thousand dollars for the benefit of those immortal minds,1 i that the wheel of slavery has crushed to the• j earth?** We leave the solution of this practi-. cat question, without comment, to those whoj have hearts to feel, and hands to labor for the neglected.The Cincinnati High School, still under the care of the Rev.
