AN INTERESTING OCCASION. - Yesterday
evening the Mayor and City Council, b.
invitation, paid visit to st. Joseph's Or
phan Asylum. There were present besides
these officials the Rt. Rev. Bishop McGil
and several citizens. The company was
kindly and gracefully received by Sister
Mariana, Superior of the institution, and
by her conducted through the extensive
establishment. ALI present admired the
neatness and order that everywhere pre-.
vailed. The excellent discipline that is pre-.
served in the school impressed itself upon
the spectators by the general arrangement
of things. The maintenance of the indi-
viduality Of the interior economy was espe.
cially observed and admired. Each little
orphan had her place for her clothing, and
tie matters, which she was expected to keep
in place and in good order. Thus ueatuess
and system becomes prominent part OF
the education. -.
The sleeping apartments were spacious
and we'll ventilated. Everything was fault
lessly clean and tidy. So in the kitchen
and dining hall the same vigilant order was
preserved. The infrmary, without pa
tient, was place that would indeed be
refreshing to the invalid.
The Sisters have recently received from
the Council some assistance, and when the
company were assembled in the large
school-room Mayor Kelley, on behalf of the
Sisters, welcomed the Council, and thanked
them for the help they had extended to the
asylum. The Mayor very happily reclted
the manner in which the fine institution
had been built up by the devoted labor and
excellent economy of the Sisters-with
their slender means and the limited assist
ance they had derived from public charity.
Yet they had enlarged their establishment
from time to time until now, when it had
sirty.fue orphans of different ages, from
mere infancy. Some thirty of these inter-
esting little ones were the children Of Con-
federate soldiers. He commended the Coun-
Gil for the help they had given the institu-
ton, and was sure they could never regret
it after what they then beheld.
Addresses were made by Mr.. English,
President of the Council; Mr.. J. Fl. Bin.
ford, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr..
Gilman, of the Wing. Bishop McGill closed
the scene with some appropriate remarks,
awarding credit to the Sisters for their de-
votion to their undertaking, and for the
skill and economy with which they had
managed the institution.
The children sang very sweetly several
songs, much to the satisfaction of those
present. The company retired feeling that
they had well spent short time under the
roof where the Sisters and their young and
innocent brood pass their days so admira-
bly,, and where SO much good is done for
society in rescuing so many innocent be-
ings from the perils of neglect. .--.

ALLEGED HOUSEWIVES CAUGHT.-On
Tuesday morning Detective ODwyer re.
ceived a telegram from 3, B. Bumpass, OF
Louisa, asking him to look out for horse
which had been stolen. The keen detec-
tive had his eyes open, and on Wednesday
night he accosted Captain D. NJ. Ross at
the Richmond House, and asked after the
horse. Captain K. told him certainly; that
he had picked him up at Hanover junction,
and recognizing it as the horse he had sold
to Mr.. Bumpass two years ago, he had
brought her as far as MechanicsVile, where
she could now be found in the possession OF
a negro named Coleman. MIR. UDwyer
then arrested Ross, and took him to the
station-house. He went to Mechanicsvillc,
where he found the horse, as described.
Captain Ross was formerly 4 captain In
the Confederate service, operating in the
Valley of Virginia. He was taken before
Justice White yesterday, who remanded
him to the authorities Of Louisa county,
where he will be taken to-day by Detective
VDwyer.
. The horse was identified by Mr.. Bumpass,
who came down. yesterday.
