Madame Constantine formerly had charge of a freedman school at or near this place, in this county, in the performance of which duty she displayed zeal and ability. a protracted illness has reduced her to extreme want, she states that she has a friend named Emma H. Lindsay Fair Ground St Louis Mo. who is able and willing to send all assistance necessary.
