THE BLIND AND FRUIT-BOXES.
(To the Editor.! Sir. —Would you kindly find space for the following, and help a wrong that needs resistance? It appears that certain fruit-growers across the river are importing fruit-boxes from California, and by so doing are taking away from the inmates of the Blind Institute one of their few occupations. I am informed that the boxes made by them are equal to any imported from 'Frisco. Then why should it be done? I thiuk it only right the public should know it, and show their disapproval by not purchasing strawberries offered for sale in foreign-made boxes, to the injury of the inmates of the Blind Institute. Let them sell their fruit where they get their boxes made.—l am, etc., J. H. CORNISH.
