The Orphan Children.

testant Orphan Asylum to g homes in thu
country, and, as will be seen by the follow
ing communication, she is not well satisfied
| with what she ascertained:
In looking after the children Of the Or
phan Asylum that have been provided with
places in different parts of the country, eX
pecting to better their condition by giving
them permanent homes where they would
be taught TO work and receive an education
| that would fit them for the duties of life, we
! beg leave TO submit the following report
| Twenty five have been visited. Six out o1
| that number We're attending school, Il
wish to state here that / have no reference
to those who have been adopted, but older
| children, from to Il, that are large enough
! to work. Some are three miles from
school, and other advantages will compare
| with their school privileges. Twelve have
never been in Sunday-school since they left
the asylum Those that remained in the
| institution have not only been kept in
| school, but in the Sunday-school, where the
| Superintendent and teachers have been so
| faithful that, besides the interesting lessons
there taught, the children can read music,
and their singing will compare with any
children in the city We have been anx-
! ious 10 get homes for them, but with these
results what shall we do? Every person
! taking a child out of the asylum is required
TO give good references as to their charac-
| ter: to promise to send them to school
| eight months in the year, and in all respects
) treat them as their own. What a blessing
| it would be if we could have an institution
| that would take these children at the age of
! IA, when the State no longer provides for
their support, where they could learn trades
| and different kinds of employment, and be
assisted in getting situations, so that they
| could support themselves, as they do i'll
England and Germany Children between
the ages of u and IS need more care and
sympathy than at any other time i'll life, to
save them from temptations they meet on
every side. The man or woman who will
engage in this noble calling will receive the
gratitude of the needy and the appreciation
of Him who took little children in His
arms and blessed them.
MIS-. S. E. CLAYTON
CONVICTED OF EMBEzZLEMENT.-The y Olo
| Mai1 SAYS On the 22d instant at Lake
port, Lake county, in Justice J J. Bruton S
Court, W. B. Treadwell was convicted of
the crime of embezzlement. The prosecu-
ton was represented by w. r. Crurnp, Dis
trict Attorney of Lake county District
Attorney j. Craig, and p. NJ. Sullivan, OF
| Woodland; the defense was represented by
| defendant in person, assisted by T. w
, Britt, Of Lakeport The evidence was to
the effect that in January, 1884, Adolph
Heine, of Oakland, intrusted Treadwell
with a COW, with authority to sell the same
| to butcher, and remit the proceeds of the
| sale to Heine that Treadwell sold the COW
to butcher at Kelseyville, and received
therefor $47 CO. and instead of RENTING
the same TO Heine, converted the same 10
his own use by having $40 credited to his
own account, which he owed the butcher
/ for a beef bill, and by taking out the bal
ance of the S47 go in meat at the butcher
shop. The Justice was of the opinion that
a man would not thus eat up the proceeds
of the sale of COW intruSted TO him to sell
and remit as above and therefore rendered
his judgment that ". B. Treadwell should
pay fine OF 800, and in default of such
payment should be confined in the county
Jail at LakepOrt for one hundred days
GOING AFTER THE GAMDLERs.-TheS Stock
ton Iaa has had an interview with Sheriff
Cunningham Of San joaquin, well known
here, with the following result: Hith-
erto have not meddled in city criminal
affairs said Sheriff Cunningham, but
henceforth | shall stop gambling in this
city. There will be no gambling here for
the next few years, at least" 1t was the
January case, said the Sheriff, which led to
his present determination. The Sheriff
was personally acquainted with old man
January, and felt a sympathy for him in
his sons downfall through the gambling
bells of Sacramento. "The youth here
must be protected, he went on, land am
going to protect them, no matter what
course the police take That is, was
suggested, YOU will stop gambling when
informed of it? j." / will hunt gambling
down" was the reply, &" as I would hunt a
horse-thief, What kind of gambling
stud-horse poker, for instance" 81 have
nothing to do with poker that comes I'M
der city ordinances But Til stop all
gambling which is prohibited by State
laws
TIE YoIo LEvEE.-Thousand OF people
from the city visited Washington yesterday
to see what effect the high water had there.
The weather had been so unpleasant for
ten or twelve days that everybody had re-
NAMED indoors when they could, and yes
terdav being the first suitable opportunity
for walk. they took look at the gauge at
the foot of X street, and then went over
into Yolo. The river has broken away
about 100 feet of the dam built in the leyee
above Washington and washed out all of
the leyee constructed by james Touhey
under his contract of about two months
ago. The water, running over what re-
mains of the dam and through the break,
presents a fine spectacle, though the people
of Washington, heavily taxed for their
levee improvements, think the beautiful
sight is rather dearly paid for. The water,
running back of the town, has met the
overflow in the tuIes, and then backed up
into the town to some extent.
