LApsxst--In compliance With the duties Of my

sent you the annual report for the year ending
the 5ist August, 1852. Az have been but D
few month"; connected with you In this labor of
love, | cannot b as explicit - might desire.
The Institution has the past year been under
the direction of the following ladies' Mrs. r.
Davis, President ; Mrs. g. L. Adams, Vice Presi-
dent Mrs. M. Al. 1sett, Treasurer Mrs. n.
clam, Mrs. r. l.. Gayle, Mrs. E. Dunn, Mrs. M.

the 9Th Of April, when she resignedl and was
time with Mrs. M. A. Tuunard, joined the Assoc
citation. EH4
The number Of subscribers IL At present but 90,
q given me by the Executive committee 4
smaller number than has been reported since the
organization Of the Institution.
There has been received into the Asylum the
last year, seven orphans the one admitted from
jackson on application Of Mrs. King, was return-
ed on account Of insanity. Two orphans have
been provided with comparable homes; Emelia
Bills wag bound TO Mrs. Moreau on the 10th Jan.
uary, and Louisa Harner to Mr.. Presler on the
10th April.
The Asylum now contains eighteen orphans
they have been blessed with good health during
the past year, although disease has been In our
city, and entered our families, In many instances
proving fatal the Orphans have been spared ;
no death having occurred In this institution du-
ring the year.
The Executive committee for the month Of
June, were requested to make the necessary arr
ransements for the erection Of an Asylum, on
the lands purchased. BY the Association in 1861.
At 4 called meeting Tho proposals Of Mr. r. Nc.
Kitrick were laid before the Board, and accepted.
The building Is now In progress Of erection.
The general prospects OF this institution are M
fonfishing Is we can reasonably expect the
number OF orphans is almost double what II was
when the last annual report was made out, still
they are supported~-and shall we doubt the abili-
ty or willingness Of this community TO sustain
this institution That there 10 need Of ~exertion,
we are all well aware, arid that we have pledg-
ed ourselves, individually and collectively, to ex-
ert ourselves to sustain 1t. am also aware but

we have the promise Of Hin who knows the end
from the beginning, that our cause shall not fail.
We need but to visit the Asylum, examine the
premises, to see that n~eatness and order prevails,
and our bills will show us that for clothing the
most ridged economy ID used. The healthy ap.
pearance, and cheerful coantenaces of our little
fatherless and motherless ones, prove that in our
natron they have found . friend whose place can
not easily be supplied-one whom they respect

presenting to Mrs. Burgess the thanks Of this

ed the responsible duties devolving upon her, and
