NATIONAL SOCIXTY FOR THE PROTECTION OF
YOUNG GIRLS.—FESTIVMES AT WOODHOUnn HONK,
WAMITZAD.—Ia the school belonging to this society there
are et the present time sixty young girls, who were all
under the age of fifteen when they were admitted, sod
several are not now more than twelve. Some are matched
lieus,
some an worse than wooden All have been
from impending danger. They are educated, braised, and
prepared for domestic service. It bas been customary at
Christmas to provide them some additional entertainment
and recreation. Oa Friday seising, the 22nd, therefore,
the magic tautens was exhibited, and a variety of interest-
ing scenes were shown and described. On Christmas-
day the usual fare of rout beef and plum pud-
ding w provided, and it was pleasing to hear from
as
each girl the wish expressed, " That poor family in
the kingdom had es iced a dinner." The schooll room waa
beautifully decorated by the girls es, aud a
Christmas tree furnished. The prises were given by frieods,
and consisted of useful articles. This with a supply ocent
f
oranges, apples, nuts. &c., afforded ample and inno
amusement. On the following day theiven presents sent by
their own relatives and Mood@ were g to them, with
some Additional cakes and fruits. A good game of play in
the large dining hell wee allowed, and it was a moat cheer-
ing sight to witness the happy faces sod to hear the joyous
laughter of these young persons, who but for the friendly
shelter and fostering care of the society would in all pro-
bability have been homeless wanderers, a source of incessant
grief ts their friends, a curse to themselves, and a baneful
example to others. The festivities of the meson cloud on
Wednesday with same galvanic experiments by Mr. Ladd,
a member of the committee, and a very interesting lecture
by Mr. Assay, on the history of a poor ragged boy. All
the girls enjoyed themselves greatly, and as they roamed
about the grounds of the institute**, they expressed their
delight and gratitude. Some members of the committee,
the secretary, matron, and other friends were present, and
exerted themselves to promote the general enjoyment. The
season will bs long remembenid, and will doubtless leave a
refreshing influence upon the minds of all who witnessed
the festivities.
