The LINCOLN INsTITUTIoN.-The annual
meeting of the contributors to the Lincoln In
stituIiOn was held at the building, No. sos S.
Eleventh street, yesterday morning, The first
annual report was submitted. 1t referred to
the organization of the institution from COM
munication to the Church Home for Children,
from Mr.. Burrows, State Superintendent for
Soldiers Orphans, asking after orphans received
and that appeal resulted in ten children being
received. Mr.. Burrows subsequently offered to
place out in any institution under Episcopalian
charge, one hundred boys, whose parents be-
longed to that church, and pay SllO for each of
them until they were sixteen years old. Out Of
this proposition grew the Lincoln Institution.
subsequently the present building, admirably
adapted to the required purposes was pur-
chased for $22,500 cash, Of which $4,000 yet re-
mains as a mortgage upon the building, and
which should be speedily cancelled. April l7th
1866 the Institution was dedicated with appro-
pirate services, at which General Grant was
present, and two boys were received. At pre-
sent seYenty-tiVe boys are under charge, and
the quota Of one hundred will soon be complete
With the greatest economy exercised the ave-
an annual deficit of $1,000 to be provided for by
the free will offerings of our citizens.
