re learn that the Savannah Orphan Asylum of
zb Catholic Church is to be removed from that
.i:y to this place. The large residence and
snsive grounds belonging to the late Jodge
Wylie, have been purchased for this pur.
-, and the four Sisters who have already
wed will go to work at once to prepare for
coming of the orphans. There are seven-
fA Sisters connected with the asylum, all of
y BIN will be transferred from Savannah to
s point. The asylum is for small orphans
y, and the transfer to this place is on &C.
int of the heaithfulness of the climate at all
sasops of the year. There will be a school
atablished, we learn, in connection with this
svlum, for the education of the orphans, and
s1tber for the education of any children who
Ir be sent to it. These two schools will be
crate and distinct. No more favored place
bid have been selected within the State for
- purpose of an asylum and school, and no
ser location could have been found than the
il1p selected. The house is large and we'll con-
