DEpIcArrOS-FIvE POINTS House. or IsDUsrRY.-
The new building erected for the use OF tue Mission
under the charge of Mr.. Pease at the Five Points,
was dedicated yesterday with religious exercises, con-
ducted by the Rev Messrs. DE Witt, Mulenburg, o.
good, Cuyler, and Thompson. The opening prayer
was made by DIR. DE Witt, and the prayer Of conse-
Grafton by DIR. Mulenburg Short addresses were
made by the other gentlemen and also by Mr. Pease
Az usual, Mr. Cayler was very happy in his remarks
lie thought the chapel admirably adapted to the pur-
pose of attracting outsiders, since there was nothing
hike church in outside appearance and still less In
side-nothing to alarm people who are afraid of
church. The room il capable of seating about three
hundred children and nearly many adults, and was
denaely crowded this occasion. Many Of the WIS.,
hors looked as though they accustomed to attend
church in localities very different from the Five
Points, but doubt if any of them had ever enjoyed
themselves more nlgnly I'D religious hlctths
they did yesterday. This new structure is erected
upon the ruins of Farow court'-a noted pile of
tenements long occupied by class of wretched hu-
man beings, stepped in misery, living in filth and many
Of them occupied only in crime. Such are those that
this new structure has driven out, displaced, scat
tered, but not reformed We hope the schools and
workshops now about opening may do such work.
The new building is built upon lot 81 by 100 feet,
and covers all the ground except inches upon two sides
10 admit air and light The walls 20 inches thick,
with q four-inch hollow from sill to capstOne. We
have never seen a building better arranged for its
purpose without foot Of waste within it, walls,
and every part 10 convenient and comfortable. We
think too that there has not been dollar wasted in
lis constr uction everything though very substan-
tal, is as plain Quaker meeting house. The
building is seven stories high, heated throughout by
furnace and furnished with baths and water-closets
upon every floor. There s but fault and that is
American fault of all budings- is not sufficiently
ventilated. The building has cost 40 far about
s23 OO0 and will require another thousand to finish it,
We understand that there is debt Of some els 900 TO
be hquidated by future contributions. Some $500
were handed in yesterday by the visitors. We most
respectfully suggest TO the trustees to sell " the
farm purchased two years ago, since it is
utterly useless to the institution. It's cost, if
ing and eli its great workshops with busy fingers,
may do good. As it is, without more ample means
akah can be hoped for soon, the new building must
main only half occupied and in a measure useless.
The work of moving in will commence Immediately,
but there is little furniture in the old house suitable
Tor the new one. The schoolroOm accommodations of
the new house are sufficient to accommodate five or
six hundred children and there is room in the work
dra1 ,nd ia
grand building and we hope it may be the means of
much good in the great cause Of reform and human
improvement.
School ExAhISATIOS.-School No. 8, in Grand
street, near Wooster, examined yesterday. The
