THE HOME ron DESTITUTE CHILDREN.
The managers of this institution at Bur
lington have recently made their annual re-
port which presents a very hatteriug account
of the good accomplished in the past year.
Two of the most efficient, active, and self
sacrificing members of the board of manag-
ers Mrs Shedd and Miss Morton, have died
during the year, and three others who are &C
tive workers for the home and itsintereBts have
removed from town. Thirty-five children
have been sent to homes during the year, and
! SO have been admitted, from Burlington, 4
each from Middlebury and Barnet 3 each
from johnson, Swan,on and Newport each
! from st. Adams and Fitchburg There are
! now in the institution G3 children, % of whom
are under s years of age, and need a
mothers care and affection in private
families. Five have died during the year
| and one has been sent to the reform school.
| Ten have been indentured, and it is the aim
! of the managers to find good Christian homes
for all the inmates, where they will be well
cared for physically, intellectually and moral
ly. The managers are grateful 70 those in the
state and out Of it who have remembered the
home by gifts of money, and suggest that it
is q mistake to suppose that the munificent
| gift of John p. Howard placed it above the
able them to minister more freely to the in
cressing needs of suffering and sinful human
ity.
THE ST, ALBANs TRUST CoMPANYs AFFAIRS.
Forbes writes to the Boston journal that
the depositors begin to realize that the prop
erty of the Norwood lumber company, in
which they voluntarily invested S3l2, OOO, il
a good deal of white elephant on theii
hands. The announcement recently made
by the assignee in New York, that he will of.
fer the entire property for sale at public auc.
ton on November I, created considerable
CONSERVATION among the depostors. ANY
sale of the property that may be made il
subject first to the preferred claims of Ma
lone banks to the amount of $4,000 The
receiver of the Trust company comes in next
for the balance of the money realized from
the sale. The property is valued in the
schedule filed in the clerks office of st. Law
renee county at $3S7, 779 1t is feared tina
this vast and valuable property will be solC
for much less than it is worth. 1t is pretty
certain that no dividend will be paid post
ors this year Possibly % or 30 per cent
may be paid early in 1854 Independent of thu
sale of the Norwood property. Aside from
the amount that may be secured from tn
lumber property but little additional can b.
realized for depositors. II on the winding
up the receivership it should appear tina
there was a loss to depositors there is re
course to legal measures to compel the Off
GERS of the Trust company to make goo
such loss to the extent of their property
From another source it is said that Receiver
Rich has made a proposition to the deposit
ors' committee looking to the formation of
syndicate to take the Norwood property an
handle it in the interests of depositors.
