Charitable Collection by Bolzano Summer Visitors on the Ritten

Tyrol.

Bolzano, 30 Aug. Several residents of Bolzano spending their summer retreat on the Ritten charitably remembered the poor and unfortunate on the occasion of a social gathering. Various games organised for this purpose yielded a net profit of 150 fl. in abusive currency, which was handed over by the aforementioned philanthropists to the Imperial-Royal District Office with the request that 90 fl. be given to the poor on the Ritten, and 60 fl. to the stricken owner of the Huberhof in Tschösens near Layen, who lost all her possessions to a lightning strike on the 22nd of this month. Thus, cheerfulness and merriment were combined with a noble charitable purpose. In bringing this noble act to general notice, the local Imperial-Royal District Office hereby expresses its warmest thanks to the noble philanthropists on behalf of the beneficiaries.
