70 wander from their cushioned aud eurtained
apartments 70 the abodes Of misery, bring Il home
again soolhed with the idea, that % class Of hu-
manity God has given what they denomiDate q
taste or talent for administering 20 the Wretchcd,
and 10 them they will leave the duties 20 repug-
nant to their own natures Let this clsss-R any
such there be among us-Vsit the Orphan Asylum.
aud II they there recognise for the managers no
duties beyond those dictated by taste and lnclina,
ton, It must be because they ere blind leaders Of
their own seli-lndulgent natures. We would invite
SUCH aud all, 20 60 from the attic 10 the basement
OF this Institution and the view will awaken IN
| their bOs0ms new chords OF sympathy with the
onteast, and open 70 them the higher aims to
which God ordains those on whom be laVishes the
good gifts Of Christian birth, health and luxurl-
Gus ease.
! A change Of matrons became necessary In July
last. Mrs. Osborne who faithfully and conscisn-
tlCualy discharged the duties Of mairon for three
years, resigned her post. Il h now filed by Mrs.
Mason, in whom we Ind an education and dignity
OF character which commands obedlence, aud who
will prove we trust an important auxiliary In the
executive department Of the Asylum. Miss Town
send continues TO occupy the post Of teacher with
undated approval. The school includes forty five
children who are making admirable progress In
their new aud commodious scbOolrocm.
Opportunities sometimes occur which allow our
benehcent charity to cover broader ground than
merely prOvi-ing home for the orphan. As an IL
lustrauOn Of the good done in this broader field,
We state that at this time the place Of nurse Is oil
| cd by q religious and eslimable woman, who in q
land OF strangers with en- infant three weeks old
was suddenly thrown from ease TO absolute want
We have sheltered this desOate mother We have
done Well-We have made her happy in q life ofin-
dependence, and the joyous, well ted baby in the
nur cry Is now one OF the most attractive features
| in the household. ~
For the first time in an organization Of eight
years, Death has closed the earthly mission Of one
OF our number; We allude to Miss Mary Brayton,
who was appointed to the Board In March 1852
Untiring as Miss Brayton was known 10 be in her
works and labors Of love, We had counted upon
the wisdom OF her long experience In well doing
as valuable acquisition TO our counsels, and up
on her refined snd lovely character as gentle in
| huence which should shed its haloWed light even
upon our meetings Of business. But God diEpoBes
and calls rs BY her death to mourn the counsel
| and lightwe 80 much coveted. We Wodld here
add tribute Of respect to one whom none knew
but to love, and who in q rare maturity Of Chris
tian character entered, we believe, on her heaven
/ ly inheritance.
The health of the children has been almost unin-
terrupted during the year. To Or. Laisy we are
indebted for gratuitous medical services rendered
/ always with prOmptness and skill
La enumerating the obligations Of the year just
! closed We cannot omit the services Of Mr. s. Il.
Aather, who amid the pressure OF responsible bu-
slness engagements, has ever lent ready ear to
OuI ClAlaf huu duu ACCuEhlb HEIAuBcH
ments Of our funds, has relieved the officers Of the
Asylum, as well as ourselves, Of large amount Of
| perplexing care.
To the Herald Office We would also acknowl edge
debt of gratitude for kindness shown Us in va
riOus ways, and moi the least on the list is the
readiness they have manifested TO speak for rs and
give us hearing, on every occasion which has
been solicited.
To Mrs. Sterling BeckWith, and Mrs. J. H.
Hughes we giVelOur cordial thanks for their until
ring labors as our clothing Committee.
To Capt PIERCE for steamer excursion, the
aVails OF which were generally donated by him to
the Asylum. To Leland's baud who gratuitOusly
discoursed delicious music for the occasion
The glad Christmas time came with her lap full
Of good things for the children. Among the events
Of Christmas morning long to be remembered and
gratefully recorded, was q memorial and annual
offering from Mr.. VIM. Slade for three decea-ed
children whose teaching and eloquent appeals for
the orphan reach u, from that happy county.
The past year like those which have preceded it
has been marked by donations expressive Of inter,
est In the Asylum. A gift Of one hundred dollars
from "a Christian Mother" came 70 US In an hour
of need and discOuragement; as the gft was
anonymous, its only true record can be found
above.
A Talusble box of clothing fsom st Luhes'
Parish, Columbia, Lorain county, and quilt from
band of little girls at Akron under the direction
Of Miss Baldwin, have been duly received and are

MARINE News The weather yesterday was
cold and the lake rough. We believe no vessels or
bOatg left port.
The Propeller New York-which left here on
Friday, arrived in Toledo Saturday morning and
loaded with -four, corn, &c, for Dunkirk. Capt.
Kirby thinks the ice must have been driven upon
the South shore below Dunkirk.
We have no direct news from the Owego which
lie It here Friday morning at 5 o'clock. She did
not pass FairpOrt until noon of that day which
leads us to fear some breakage. It was reported
yesterday that she was blockaded by the ice at
Erie.

Toledo and PerrysbuFgh.
