AID produces some work of astonishing beauty
and correctness. Tho Report itself is a sample
of the Typographical eX ceiience attained with.
in little more than two years by these young
workmen. We do not know of n single lnstl-
tuition that can point to it's reports as tn" pro-
duction of its own boy-printers. During the
year improvements in the hUld;uSs and
grounds have progressed satisfactorily. The
chief improvements accomplished look to-
wards the health and amusement OF the boys,
the better accommodation of the employees,
the extension of facilities for industrial occu-
pations, and the identifying of the surround
ings of the Protectory. Tho only draw-ba
was the complete destruction by fire, of the
Girls Building, on the night ef July 2oth.
This building which was erected out OF private
funds, cost 81 292 40. Tho managers propose
to lose no time in proceeding, as soon as cir
cumstances will permit, to replace this ediiice.
The plans are now in course OF preparation by
an accomplished architect of this city. A
main point in the construction of the new
building will be such improvements as will
bring with them better securities against fire
The sanitary condition of the children, ia on
tho whole very satisfactory. Brother fellow
still retains charge of the Boys Department,
in which he is assisted by some thirtv-two
others IN the Girls Department, Sister Ulri-
ca has been recalled to resume his earlier du-
cites as Proouratrix of the Mother House
(Mount st. Niucenl and Sister Mary Helena

The New York correspondent of the Cincin
natl Telegraph writes: "IIcre is an oasis il
tho desert. Mrs. Mary Mniloy died in tn,
Christian (D city of brooklyn, short time
share of the worlds goods, she did not forget
the widow and orphan, and leave all her prop
erty to her relatives to be foolishly squaudered
as too many of orr rich Catholics do. Here
are her Dcquests to be carried into effect after
the death of her sister: $500" to the Roman
Catholic Orphan Asylum, aui $1,000 to the Ho
man Catholic Female Orphan Asylum; also
one thousand dollars toward the erection OF
the Roman Catholic Cathedral; 5000 to the
trustees of the Assumption Church, BROOKLYN
for the support of the schools attached to said
church, 81 900 to the Little Sisters of the Poor;
$500 to the Church of the Assumption to be
applied toward the liquidation of the debt
of said church: s. 0G0 to the Sisters of Mercy.
Brooklyn 5000 to the Sisters of tho Good
Shepherd, Brooklyn; :! 200 to the st. Peters
Hospital, Erooklyu. All these wise be-
quests and will do much good. Let the read
err say ut least: God gre rest 10 The soul of Mary
-Muiloy."
The Redemptorist mission in st. James par

suits. 1t was divided into two parts the first

22d of April. Is So females, received comm union
eleven mlssioners being engaged hearing con fes-
Bions for eight days, each day from 4 NJ, till
10 =. NJ We have not Yet seen tho result of
the mission for the men, though the Frccman's
Journal states that on the last Sunday, Father
NJ. Burke addressed splendid body of young
men, some six hundred in number, forming the
st. James Total Abstinence Society. Father
Farrelly, as pastor, was delighted. So was
Father Burke. So were the members of the
Society.
