some interesting particulars of the work.
ings OF these institutions in that city. The
average number of boys in the prOtectory
during the year 1867 was four hundred and
forty; of girls, one hundred and forty -four.
There are now five hundred and fifty boys
in the asylum. The number of girls is not
much increased, for want of accommoda-
ton. OF the boys one hundred and twenty
have been instructed during the year in
shoemaking; in hoop-skirt making, sixty
five !; in farm and garden work, forty five
in the bakery, three. Of the girls, fifty
were employed at hoop-skirts, fourteen ON
sewing machines; the remainder in cook
ing, washing, ironing, plain sewing, mend 4
ing, chamber work, etc. We shall never
forget the prOmptness with which the mu-
nicipal authorities, irrespective of all pre-
vious predictions or opinions, united in
granting, not to us, of course, but to our
and your homeless little ones, the use of
public ground for the full space of time we
required. The Rev. Clergy threw them
selves into the work with an energy in
spired by their frequent dealings with a
restitution which they unanimously re-
solved should be relieved. The conferences
of st. Vincent de Paul, twenty. or more in
number, devoted themselves unweariedly
day and night TO the hard work assigned to
them.
A correspondent of the Freen,an's Journal
writing from Annapolis, says that on Sun
day, February %, Rev. Father Anwander,
the energetic and indefatigable rector of
our college and convent, preached sub
lime sermon on the subject of raising a sum
of money sufficient to meet the expenses of
at least one Zouave, for the protection and
defense of the Holy Father and his States.
ARCHDIOCESE OF BALTIMoRE.-The Cath
olics of Parkersburg, West Virginia, have
subscribed the sum needed to put two Zou-
ayes in the field, and the enthusiasm for
Pho Mono is on the increase.
