Still greater was his surprise to find that the animal moved out of the thills, leaving the sleigh behind.

On examination he found the thugs bad been out apart above the whif-fletree, and the horse was practically cut free from the sleigh. Further examination showed the marks of teeth i i the leather, and the faithful wag of the faithful dogs tall, aa he stood looking at, his masters predicament, showed that the dog it waa who was the guilty party.

The institution is no longer for orphan girls alone, but its doors are open to destitute children of both, sexes. Oar Finance Committee, owing to their pereeveranoe and efficiency, and the generous response pf our citizens, were able to report early In the year; that the fund, twenty-five thousand dollars, necessary to the acceptance of Mr.

Pitchers offer, was obtained. Previous to this, a lot of on the southeasterly slope of Thomas Hill, and commanding an extended and delightful view, waa received from Mr. James Smith, of this city. The folio wipg action waa taken Voted, That the managers most gratefully accept from Mr. James Smith, the noble gift of a large lot of land, situated on James, Ohio, aDd Highland Streets, containing nearly two acres, as an eligable building sito.

They are also gratified to learn that Mr. Pitcher finds the above location eminently suited to his long contemplated pur pose of erecting a new bouse for the Asylum Association, which is to be styled The Bangor Childrens Home. Mr. Pitcher, true to his promise, immediately msde preparations for building, and on thq second day of September, the cornerstone was laid with appropriate ceremonies, and dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Sarah March Pitcher, through whose bequest it is erected.

Aud what more fitting memorial for one whose brief life was filled with gentle and charitable deeds I It is now expected the new house and grounds will be completed during the coming Bummer, when we shall rely upon the generosity of our friends for aid in furnishing it in a neat and suitable manner. The meetings of tbe managers been fully attended, and an unusual degreo of interest manifested. Mrs. E. J.

Treat and Mrs. John Bradbury have retired from the Board during the year. Mrs. Bradbury was one of the original members, and always manifested an untiring interest, laboring zealously and faithfully till failing health compelled her to resign. In September the managers very reluctantly accepted the resignation of their Secretary, Mrs.

E. L. DureD, who had proved herself a very valuable officer. There are connected with the institution twenty-nine children, and four assistants, viz. matron, cook, nursery girl, and seam- Six barrels.

ofilqr each sent by different individual! Werd donations. Eight barrels hTitpples which weto luxuries, as our food da not permit the purchase of them. About-Ji barrels of potatoes, one barrel of crackers, sixty pounds of sugar, several pounds of tea, forty pounds of buckwheat with syrup to go with it, fifty pounds of codfish, a bushel of beaus, a bag of meal, several boxes of raisins, several boxes of grapes, a box of starch, a box of soap, aud a very nice chopping machine, a nice lot of yarn, worsted goods, cotton goods, cotton flannel, hoop skirts, nnder garments, and sundries. Also, provisions for Thanksgiving Day, consisting of turkeys, chickens, oysters, mackerel, cranberries, squashes, and other vegetables. These nokbeing sufficient for the winter months, soma gentlemen kindly interested themselves, and a Levee was held December first, which realized the handsome sum of two hundred and forty dollars.

In connection with this there was handed to us a ten dollar bill from Mr. George M. Weston, of Augusta, who, unable to be presont, manifested his interest in this way. We remember gratefully the no less acceptable donations from month to month of household articles, clothiDg, milk, and in their season fruits and vegetables, from kind and benevolent ladles. We cannot Tefrain from expressing our thanks to Mrs.

W. B. Hayford for her continual remembrance of our needs. To Mrs Ellis for the amount of knitting she has done, and to other ladies who have assisted us in sewing and knitting we are very grateful. Tbe amount received from subscribers, as appears in the Treasurers report, ia five hundred and eighteen dollars and twenty-five cents.

An increase of one hundred and forty-three dollars and seventy-five cents over the previous year but surely not more than half what we might reasonably expect. The expenses of the year have averaged early two hundred dollars a month, and this with careful economy. To meet thdse, the Treasurer has been drawing from a fund of one thousand dollars, which was collected some years ago by former manager and placed at interest, but which is now nearly exhausted. So it is evident that even after the interest of the en dowment fund becomes available, unless the number of yearly subscribers is largely increased, we shall still be dependent in a measure upon tbe charity of our friends. And is it not a benefit to a community to have in its midst an Institution appealing to its charity, where those who take pleasure doing for others may see the -result of their efforts 7 We feel confident that the citizens of Bangor will take pride in sustaining the managers in their endeavor to make this Institu tion one of the most useful of its kind and an honor to our city.
