holds the following language:

A hearty eulogium is pronounced upon the

The Soldiers Orphans Home was project

General Government would denote its share
OF the buildings and improvements made
thereon Cat cost Of about $10,000,) and

in the service during the late rebellion, such

establishment under the ausp ices of the
State. to be elassed with. its other benevo-
lent and charitable institutions .aertnt-a
This was the ground work upon which
the authorities at Washington and obtained,
gratuitously, the interest of the Government.
The plan met the hearty approval of the
Secretary of War, and by his order the pos

Under such favorable circumstances the
work was undertaken by the temporary or

with the philanthropic protector, obtained
private subscriptions to the amount of $12 !
250, to this date. The necessary reftting
and furnishing has been done at cost
thus far of about $14 500, and the ''Home'
is now ready to admit applicants from all
parts of the State. By the accompanying
circulars, &C., the detail will be more fully
understood. Blank applications (see forln)
have been furnished to the clerks of the
Board of Supervisors for distribution to the
