Never did the Institution stand more In need
OF the interest and patronage CT its friends Its

Deen borrowed TO complete the new building
recently erected on 6 street. This structure was
designed TO give more facilities for day school
and thereby to increase the revenue out OF which
10 support the orphans. Owing to these i'm
pr"veInents the Institution is considerably en-
oardssed, and appeals most earnestly to its pat
rons ana friends for assistance.
The REVIEW AND The NEW WEAPoN.-Tbe
monthly review of the police force took place at
the City Hall at 10 O'Clock this morning. The
only unusual feature In the review was the an
pearance OF the night division with n set Of
weapons different from those in use during the
terms OF service OF Captains Birch and Mills IL
| is the old fashioned hickory sponton with smear
formed iron head. Its very dangerous weapon ,
and the light round end "billy'' was substituted
Tor II by Captain Birch. In the hand. of a pas
sionate ard thoughtless man il would prove
deadly weapon, for slight blow upon the head
OF prisoner with the iron end would be suf-
rcient TO break the skull and be the probable
cause OF death. Indeed, we heard IL predicted
by an officer upon their first appearance that
Somebody will be killed with them before the
year ends We trust not, and hope the officers
will handle this efficient but deadly weapon with
due caution.
