The fund now being raised in this city
and adjacent towns for the erection
of hospital building for the Protestant
Orphan Asylum of this city is daily grow
ing larger, and now amounts to nearly
Sc, 900. 1t is expected that the donations
from home and abroad, together with the
proceeds of the grand promenade concert
and ball to be given at the New Pavilion
Saturday night, will swell the fund to $10,-
600. With this sum the lady managers of
the asylum will be enabled, besides build
ing and furnishing the new addition, to
make many improvements in the eastern
end of the asylum for the comfort and
health of the children. The portion of
the building which was repaired after the
fire several years ago is very badly arranged
and worse ventilated. The fund was given

ton of $500 from Edgar Mills, 500 from
Frank Miller, 500 from n. d. Rideout and
