The Orphan Asylum.

The Excursion Which Captain Peck Gives the ChfIdren-A Free sah on the SOunds
 The excursion which Captain Richard Peck of the New Haven Steamboat company has planned for the children of the Orphan Asy- lum comes off next Wednesday. The chiI- dren have had an unusually quiet time this summer, having been quarantined for six weeks on account of two cases of scarlet fever which are now happily cured. They are consequently looking forward to the ex- cursicn with feverish delight and are 'tper- fectly wild' over the thought of the fun which is in store for them. There are now about 11O children at the asylum, not quite as many as usual They began school duties yesterday with the rest of the town children, but Superintendent Dutton has given his consent to their having the day of Wedness day. Aside from the sickness mentioned the health of the children has been very good during the past summer. They receive the best of care and are as healthy lot of chil- dren as can be found.
 The excursion starts at 10 o'clock in the morning. The boat will pull out upon the Sound and will cruise about along the pleas ant shores, making no stop, and returning about in the afternoon. Every preparation for the day has been made. Food will be served to the little folks frem two long ta- bles, and the elders who accompany them will enjoy a sort of a basket picnic. There is no doubt but that the children will enjoy the day most heartily as children only can, and that Captain Peck will be the most popu- lar man in the city with them. a distinction that his kindness and generosity certainly unerit
