The trustees of this institution report that
the past year has been a successful and pros
porous one for the school. The health OF the
inmates has been good, and all the industrial
departments have been amply sustained. The
rainy weather nearly destroyed the potato
crop, but the other crops succeeded we'll.
Everything about the premises is neat, tidy
and attractive. 1.-THE internal arrangements
of the house seem to be conducted systematic
cally. The financial condition of the institu-
ton is favorable. There is balance in the
treasury at this time large enough, probably,
when added to anticipated receipts, to meet
all the ordinary wants and expenditures up
to the end of the fiscal year. The special
appropriation for the steam heating apparatus
was insufficient to defray the whole cost of it,
and balance of S599.1l was paid out Of the
ordinary appropriation.

Religious instruction has been given
through the year with the most salutary re.
suits, by the worthy chaplain, Rev. A. p.
Hillman, assisted by gentlemen from Portland,
who have volunteered their services. The
boys going from the school often express their
gratitude for the Kindness shown them at the
institution. Parties having unruly and res

Meeting OF the President and Board of
Trustees of the Maine Industrial Set DOL
for Girls.
a meeting of a quorum OF the President
and Board of fTrustees of the Maine Indus
trial School for Girls, took place yesterday
afternoon, at the Council Chamber in the
State House. There were present Hon. Benz.
Kingsbury, Jr., Pres. of the Institution, and
Gov. Perham, Hon. George G. Stacy, Hon.
Warren johnson, and Hon. L. Il. French of
the Board of Trustees.
A memorial was read to be presented to the
Legislature, setting forth the circumstances
and con ditions under which it is proposed to
establish the school. This memorial gave
the history of similar institutions in other
States, and indicated there was class of I'M
fortunates that ought to be provided for in
this State.
Tho Board was undecided as to whether it
was best to present bill or resolve to the
Legislature to provide for the needs of the
school,
The two donations from Hallowell were
considered-one by Mrs. Flagg who offers to
donate mouse worth Sb,OOO, ana Sf,Ooo IN
money, and the other from Mrs. Dummer,
who offers to donate a site of land for the
school,
The President of the school and Secretary
will visit the premises this forenoon for pur-
poses of examination.
The Trustees appeared to view with favor
either of these propositions, and the feeling
was that they would furnish all the facilities
for starting the enterprise, and that if either
one of these donations was accepted, the
State should be called upon to furnish cur
rent expenses for one year.
