In 65 towns whose votes we have compar-

We judge that the total vote of the State

600 votes in the State.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
HOME FOR DESTITUTE CHILDREN.

We mark with white stone the days on which
we meet our friends each year, to report the good
which has been done through their generosity to the
little ones SO much in need of it.
The " Home for Destitute Children" has been in
existence seven years, and during that time l6O
children have been received within its walls, beside
number of babies provided with homes outside,
through the fundamentally of the mana gers-there
being as yet no accommodations in the Institution
itself for those young. OF the l6O 70 have been
sent out to homes in families we'll recommended,
and several others have left for various causes.
During the year rs new members have entered
several becoming of age have lef, our care, and 10
have been provided with homes. The number now
there is IS.
The amount of the Permanent Fund now drawing
interest is SAL 800 Our income from this source is
not sufficient to meet the yearly expenditures, but
will go a long way toward it. In fact we think our
selves warranted in omitting for while at least,
the annual collection of funds from our friends in
this city, who have responded nobly TO the often
repeated calls we have made upon their purses
sometimes twice within year-hoping that they
viii ftheir own accord send US, at our Donation
Wis. n when most convenient during the season,
enough to make up the deficiency.
A very few alterations and repairs have been
made in the building this summer, but only those
imparatiyeiy necessary for the comfort. of the in
mates. The removal of partition between two
rooms in the basement has given new dining
room, where the children can be SEATED without
erowding.
Several changes have been made in the depart
ments of matron teachers and others of the house
hold, but now with efficient staff throughout We
trust all Will remain through the year.
The health Of the children is good, though during
the warm weather the physicians aid was quite con
stantly required.
The bill for supplies is $4,000, large total but
showing strict economy in each item.
Tho sum spent for clothing is sIl2.o0, which has
been lessened by kind contributions from indiydu-
ais and societies.
We have many kind friends to thank for all the
different ways in which they have contributed to
the amusement as well as comfort of the children,
but our words will be considered by them of small
account for the eloquent looks and hearty tones Of
children whose first Years have been spent with
those who have only given them harsh words and
blows. will put cur thanks very low in the scale.
We are sure all our kind friends echo our wish
for the e Home, p" May its shadow never grow
less" but extend until II covers all the little home
less ones Of our State.
Respectfully submitted.

city, in four years this is doing astonishing
" well. But it is to be noted that some
twenty odd republicans who had omitted
to register their names in this city went
to South Burlington, and voted there, as
they could lawfully do, Adding these 10

The HORSE DISEASE is spreading in this
city and vicinity. Some two hundred horses
are sick in Burlington, most of them. we
think, rather lightly las compared with those
in some other places. No deaths from the
disease have as etoccurred here. The livery
stables defined to let horses, even for fu-
neral, on Sunday, and though many horses
are not yet affected, there is considerable
and growing scarcity of horses for work or
use of any kind.
