Annual Meeting of the BOars1-The Work
 of the Past Year-Addresses By Profess
 sor Wayland, MT. Seeley, Rev. MT.
 Mossmnn and Rev. Dr. HarvvOOd.
 The annual meeting of the Board of Asso- ciated Charities was held in the Center church chapel yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. There was not large number pres ent, and most of those who did attend were ladies. There was apparent also deep in- terest in the proceedings, the reports and the addresses by those present. .
 Professor Francis Wayland occupied the chair, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. MT. Kelsey, of the College street church.
 Professor Wayland in his opening remarks said that before the formation of this society it had fer long time been apparent to many that there was vast deal of misplaced char ity ill this city, The financial crisis of 1873 multiplied genuine cases of charity fourfold. About this time there was class who took advantage of the times, and not caring to work wandered from place to place begging aims. This society was organized with 8 view to suppress, so far as possible, this evil of vagrancy. That it has been a success in this regard no one who has studied the work ings of the society will for 8 moment doubt. We therefore continue to ask our citizens to refuse charity to people who apply at their doors for aid, but continue to send to the Central Office of Associated Charities, where their cases will be carefully inquired into and aid rendered where needed. We believe that our society faithfully attends to all such cases Our board of directors is represented by members of all societies, and in this way imposition is prevented on the part of per sons who would apply for aid from several societies. We think the plan of employing men and boys in the wood yard to saw and split wood has proved a decided success, and has, as will be seen, a little more than paid for itself. Now we have felt that we need some employment for deserving women SC that they may earn their living the same as the men. We have the room, and all VIC want is the funds to inaugurate the plan.
 J. Scott, secretary, read his report
 On the conclusion of Professor Wayland'l remarks, MT. Scott, the bookkeeper of th' board, read his report of receipts and ex penditures as follows:

beginning of the present century was spo-
ken by only about % millions of people

now spoken by 63 millions in place of 80 /;
German by 66 in place of 3S ; s parish by
a in place Of 80 Italian by 80 in place
of IS Portuguese by ID in place OF g.
This gives for the English language an
increase of 80 per cent ; Tor the Russian
40 per cent /; for the German 20 per
cent; aud so on. As to French. the increase
has been, according to our author, from
81 TO As millions, or say 36 per cent.

THE PIG TRADE AT CHICAGO.

To give an idea of the importance Of
the trade in pigs at Chicago we need mere.
ly quote tie figures for the month Of No
vember last. The total number of pigs
imported into Chicago during that month
was 100000. OF this number 100. 900
were sent on towards the East, while the
remaining million were killed, smoked,
and sailed. The average selling price OF
tie animals was 81. 20 per 100 lbs. which
gives on the average sig per head, or q
total value of Sl3 200, 900.
These pigs were killed and preserved az
fast as they arrived. 10 no month since;
1878 has the trade been SO brisk as ID the
month of November last.-I5M
