CITY INTELLTTFNTE

THE HoNe OF THE FRTENDLEss The sixth ami
veTsary of the Home of the Friendless took place
last night in the Broadway Methodist Episcopal
| Church. The attendance was not as large as it
should have been though most of the first and fast
friends of this excellent institution present.
The Rev. Fielder Israel preached from Deuterono
my, 18th chapter, and from the 7th to the llth
verses. In the discourse, which was both able and
eloquent, the Home was commended to the benevo-
ence of the community, and the good which has
followed the labors Of those who conduct it truth
FULLY and beautifully portrayed. At the close of the
sermon r. Stockett Matthews, Esq, read a report
OF the Secretary, which gave a succinct account of
the abors of the institution for the past year. 1t is
IN pamphlet form, ready for circulation, and should
be read by all who have at heart the prosperity of
this important charity. At the last annual meeting
there were forty-two inmates in the institution,
and during the year there were received twenty
four. Eight have been returned to their parents,
nine provided with homes, six adopted, one
sent to the Church Home, two left without consent,
and one died; leaving, at this time, thirty nine.
The report gives clear exposition of the progress
made IN the erection of the edifce at the cor
ner OF Ross and Townsend streets, and states that
in few months it will be ready for occupancy.
When finished there will be debt hanging over it
of $4,000. The generous benevolence which has
heretofore been extended to the Institution war
rants the presumption that the amount will soon
be liquidated. The building will have capacity for
the accommodation of 100 children, which will
enable the managers to largely increase their
usefulness. With this increase new demands will
hoped that liberal contributions will follow. The
report refers to the death of Prof. Charles Frick,
one of the most steadfast friends of the Institution
whose life and character were adorned and enriched
ny "wnatsoever things are lovely and of good
report
The Rev. James Brown delivered brief address,
after which liberal collection taken up, and
the meeting adjourned.
