RoBBIEG A SUBsTITUTE.-Two hundred
and twenty y-6ve drafted men from Meadville,
Pa, arrived on the Lake Shore cars yester-
day morning, en- route for Pittsburg, in charge
of Mr.. R. Lyle, drafting commissioner of
Crawford county, Pa. One Michael High
land was with the party, a man who had gone
as a substitute. He had two hundred dollars
in his possession, which he had received Of
the man whose substitute he was. At Erie,
it appears, a man got on board Of the train,
and passing himself of as a cOnscript, was
passed through to this point. On the way
from Erie he made himself very familiar with
Highland, who was considerably intoxicated.
When the train reached here, Highland found
that all his money except eighteen dollars
had been removed from his carpet bag, where
he had kept it. Suspicion fastened upon
the stranger, and he was arrested, the money
being found upon his person. On arriving
here Highland and the suspected thief were
taken to Jail by depot officer Warren. The
oonscripts continued on to Pittsburgh, and the
Commissioner will return on Friday to take
possession Of the prisoners. He says the
thief can only escape prosecution by enlist
ing into the service.

Reverend Mr.. starkey followed, urging
the rightful claims Of the Orphan Asylum
upon our sympathy, cooperation and sup
port-not spasmodic, but continual. In the
multiplicity of charities, he had observed
that no appeal meets with 80 liberal
a response as the appeal In behalf
Of little children. While other forms
Of charity are supported out Of a
sense of obligation and duty, charity to chill
drsn is impelled by tender sympathies. He
thanked God that He had made children such
eloquent pleaders in their own behalf. He
reverted to the social and moral necessity
which exists for supporting such institutions
as the above. The good Of society demands
the education and religious training Of chill
dren. If we would cut of the streams of evil
at the fountain head, let US give a liberal
support to asylums like this. There is
hOmely adage that an ounce Of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. he thought State
Prisons, Penitentiaries aud Houses of Cor
reetion were expensive pounds Of cure in
comparison with the ounce of prevention to
be found in such institutions as the Orphan
Asylum. he thought the system of public
charities should be amended so that they
might be divested Of the coldness and hard
ness which now characterize them; so as to
animate into new life ambitions and sspira-
tiOns that may have been crushed, not by
crime, but by pure and simple misfortune.
President Andrews remarked briefly that
the Asylum was not supported by the large
contributions Of the few, but by the small
contributions Of the many. It had seen its
hours of adversely, but to-day was in a more
aourishing condition and better able to do
good than ever before
After the congregation united in singing
the doxOlogy, they we're dismissed by ben
ediction by Rev. DR.. Akin.
The Board of Managers are to hold meet
ing at the house of Mrs. Samuel Williamson,
on Euclid street, at P. E. to-day.

In presenting to the public their llth an
nual report, the Board Of Managers ef the
Cleveland Orphan Asylum find but little Of
much interest to communicate beyond the
usual statistical statements. The period over
which the report extends, embraces but lit
tie more than seven months, the time for the
annual meeting having been changed soon
after the commencement Of the present year,
from March to October.
The funds placed at the disposal Of the
Board by the liberality Of the Cleveland pub
lie during the year 1851, for the support and
management of the Asylum, have rendered
their duties much less laborious than hereto
fore, relieving them, as it has, from the fire.
quent calls which they were compelled to
make and the various eZpedients to which
> hey were driven to replenish their exhausted
!. s-sasury. A charity SO noble should never
be degraded to the necessity Of depending
upon spasmodic appeals to the public, or the
uncertain and temporary expedients Of con
certs and festivals for its maintenance; and
we refer with honest pride to the report Of the
Treasurer for the evidence that the cause Of
the fatherless and homeless finds a warm
place in the hearts Of our people, and that if
The amount nov raised by your liberality, and
securely invested by the Trustees, does not
I produce an income sufficient to meet the in
ereaIing wants of the Institution, the requi-
site addition win not be withheld when it
shall be called for.
Mrs. Mason, who has for the past two years
filed the Office Of Matron Of the Asylum, has
recently retired from that position, and the
Board have secured the services Of Mrs. Bar
Der for her successor.
Miss Townsend, too, who has been for more
than FIVE years the teacher Of the children,
has been compelled to leave in consequence
of the illness of her parents, and Miss Clark
will, for the present, supply herPlaee. Both
the new incumbents are expected to enter
upon their duties Immediately.
The present number Of children In the
Asylum is As, between the ages Of Is months
and IA years. These have been received
since the last annual report. Two have been
provided with homes in the country, and one
has been restored to her friends. None Of
the inmates Of the Institution have been re-
moved by death, and we have great cause for
gratitude to God for the uniform health
which has prevailed. There has been no
case Of serious illness.
The Board of Managers take pleasure in
acknowledging the professional services Of
DR.. Laisy, which have been rendered when
required at the Asylum without charge
Our thanks are also due to the daily papers
of the city whose kindness has been mani
tested whenever an opportunity has been
presented to aid the Institution, and to many
citizens whose liberal donations have glad
dened the hearts Of the children and contrib
utsd materially to the support Of the Asy-
lum. These donations will be acknowledged
in detail in the published report Of the Asy-
lum. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. D. P. EELLs, See'y.

the reports of the delegates from these
townships, but no one replied. Nearly all
the persons present were on their tip toes
with necks stretched to their utmost ten
sion, and ears cooked, t. hear a response
At length every eye was turned in the di-
rection of tall, lean, lank individual who
stood on a bench out from the crowd He
commenced speaking in a COOL resolute
tone of voice. He informed the chair that
he was delegate from Owen township
that his township had held their meeting
and unanimously agreed to withdraw from
the Convention, for which action he pro-
posed to give their reason If the members of
the convention wished him to do so.
'Assign the reason" came from the
voices of at least twenty persons.
1--WE don't wish to hear their reasons for
Withdrawing" cried as macy more; let
them slide"
AS soon as sufficient order was restored
so as to be heard, the exasperated delegates
belched forth at the top of his voice:
t' The reason why Owen township with
draws from this Oonvention is, because the
resolutions adopted here are in consonance
with those adopted at the State Convention,
and in the opinion Of the delegation those res
oLutions are Anti Democratic, and in hostility
to the interest and soeEfars Of the country"
After several Intellectual efforts to ascer-
tain the Whereabouts of the Washington
township delegation, by the Chairman, Sec
retary, and others who usually make them
selves quiIe oficous on such occasions,
the Convention proceeded to other business,
evidently disheartened at the effect produc-
ed by the " wet blankets so Unexpectedly
and unceremoniously thrown over them.
