It will do more. It will enable us to have a voice In the administration of this our old home and school. If we be but true to our God and ourselves, the day Is not far distant when the (iirard College graduates will have a potent voice In the conduct of the trust We promise the citizens of Philadelphia that we will raise that voice for no sectarian or partisan purposes, but simplv to assist In carrying out the designs of the founder, so lieneflclally felt in our own lives, and to perpetuate an administration that has given to this Institution Ita present high character, dignity, and usefulness. AildrcsM bv Willinm Wnril, F.sq., oft'lienlcr. After the performance ot another musical selec tion, William Ward, Ksq., of Chester, was intro duced. His address was quite lengthy, but we give the most important parts of It, especially those ro Xerrlng to the administration of the college: This Society of the Alumni, owing its foundation, Mr. President of the college, to you, was formed with the object of mutual advantage to the Institu tion and the graduates; and, by bringing them to gether at least once in the year, to unite them closer In the lxmds of brotherhood. No boy of the (lirard College can swerve far from the straight line of recti tude so long as he will come if only once, a year within the circle of his early home. The scenes and associations of his vouth recalled, and the very at mosphere laden with recollections of purity and right, must awaken in him a sense of duty to himself and obligation to others that cannot fall to produce good results. , t, No graduate of Glrarrt College, If true to himself and his teachings, can be kept down. Honesty, so briety, close attention to business, and a proper use of the knowledge acquired here will attain, If not high position and wealth, ut least respectability and competency, as certainly as the sun reaches the aeuith at noonday. The will of Stephen (iirard and the course of training In this institution naturally lead the large majority of Its pupils into mechanical pursuits, and, surely, a more Inviting Held, at this -ro, cannot present itself. The time has gone by when name und wealth were only to be found In the forum, the clinic, or ut the counting-desk; and the skilled American mechanic to-day occupies a posi tion where no caste excludes him, no barrier bars the way to high places, and where fortune loves to IV have worked for many a day myself at the power printing press, and blessed the intelligent mechanic that gave It to the world ; I huve seen with wonder, at a shipyard on the Delaware, the iron vessel growing, piece by piece, to completion every rivet, bolt, an i valve, and spar, and mast, ind rope in place until at last, her cargo in, she passed down the river to the sea; I have spent hours, with admi ration and Interest, at the largo manufacturing establishments that cluster around my nome, anil watched the looms, and mules, and spindles weaving the delicate fabrics, and with machinery working the slender threads with more precision and care than the human hand. And I have thought that the mind could ask no prouder mission than its exercise in such applications of material resources to the cause of humanity and human progress. Hut, brethren of the Alumni, there are grave prac tical duties of the hour that should receive our at tention; for this noble benevolence of Stephen Girard, lavished so unsparingly upon us, creates re ciprocal obligations. While no specillc terms were imposed in the bequest, yet the spirit of a compact exists. That It has been faithfully performed on the one side, this assemblage of men and boys, the past and present recipients of his bounty, evidences and our own hearts corroborate. And may not our part be forgotten or slighted. I believe it to be the religions duty of every gra duate of (iirard College, who has enjoyed its benell cences, as far as in him lies to guard the interests of this institution, watch jealously by its reputation, and the observance of the will of its founder, and promote the comfort and proper treatment of its orphan Inmates. We know full well from past expe rience that our well-intentioned olllces will never be required while the college remains under its present administration; but if the exigency should arise, at that cry for succor, us at a bugle call, we will mus ter, anil Ingrate beneath lirutus will he of our num ber be who withholds the last effort of his strength, or the last dollar of his store, from the cause of the fatherless and the friondless. There Is another duty of the hour which claims our earnest consideration. In the implied trust which I conceive the will of Air. (iirard, and un ac ceptance of its provisions, create for our perform ance, 1 recognize the obligation to use our energies and talents towards the furtherance of such means as honestly-formed opinion and deliberate judgineut assure us will preserve this monument of his philan thropy In the purity of his original design, and best promote the accomplishment of his unlimited bene volence. Let me not be misunderstood as claiming for the alumni especial prerogative to prescribe the course of education and discipline in this institution, to dictate Its course of management, or to point out a proper mode of appointment for Its admluistra- l'lSut, when questions touching the well-being of this college arise through the properly-ordained channels, in due legal course, and are pendlng-as they are at this moment It Is our privilege as men ami citizens to speak- and it is our duty as graduates to raise our voices in support of what our own expe rience and honest conviction impress us is right. And lam confident that the unanimous endorse ment of the Alumni follows me when I assert that the success, nurtty, preservation, and perpetuation e success, purity, preservation, aim perpeitm ,i.m this grand philanthropy depend, ay, as for life nod, upon its removal far beyond the outermost rele of the current of faction ami politics. of Mood circ of faction auu points.

I. .,it ff, r'a Khali more man reaiwo " highest anticipations. A numlM-r of college airs were then performed by the band, after which Hobert M. Koust, Esq., Presi dent of the Hoard of Directors, delivered an address, which was listened to with the greatest attentloa throughout Speech of Mr. Fount. Gentlemen of the Society of the Alumni of the (iirard College for Orphans : For many years past it has been a custom for the graduates of institu tions of higher learning in this country to form assoclatloi'S for the promotion of literature und ifood-fellowshlp among themselves and the better to advance the reputation and Interest of their Alma Mater. Some have based their organizations upon broader grounds and have associated themselves, "without distinction of party or sect, rank or pro fession, in Church or in Stale, in literature or In sci ence, thereby creating a leiiowsnip ot tne most iine ral und comprehensive character; asking no creed but the love of letters; seeking 110 end but the en couragement of learning; and imposing 110 condi tions which might lead to Jealousy or ambitious Htrife; cultivating the doctrines of peace on earth, ooodwlll towards men." These associations are recognized among their contemporaries because of their utility and beuell clal tendencies, and they furnished an example which was worthy your imitation. If it were wise for the graduates of a college to organize merely for the promotion of literature and good fellowsh p among themselves, how much more appropriate were it for you, graduates of the (iirard College for Orphans, to form un association of a liberal and comprehensive character, and that your object should be "the promotion of the interests of the Oirard College and its graduates, and the faithful execution of the will of Its founder." it watt appropriate In a marked degree that you should assoc ate yourselves in such a manner as to hold tiememury of the founder in kindly reveren tial remembrance ; In honoring his memory you honor your own manhood. .... , Many allusions have been made by the speakers who preceded me to the character of Stephen iirard It certainly is one presenting point worthy ti e imitation vf every graduate of the coUege, und illustrates in a remarkable degree the power and In fluence of the human will rightly directed. Krom his home in a far-distant cltv In Prance, disfigured in feature, diminutive In size, without education, fortune, or friends he.thre himself upon his own resources, and in one capacity or another, as a man ner, he began to accumulate some means. These he profitably disposed of and continued to increase nntil he was led to desire a permanent location for the prosecution of the mercantile business accord ing to his preconceived plans. While in tent npon this object ho entered the waters of the Delaware, and In the midst of the budding beauties of our lovely May month, Just ninety-two years ago, landed for the first time at I hlladelphla an event full of interest to the then infant city. Ninety-two years ago, when the city possessed a population of 20,000 inhabitants, and nearly all Its business was transacted along the east ern front, between Vine sircet and Pine street, north and south, and between the Delaware river and Third street, west: when Front street was the great market for all kinds of goods sold by wholesale, and Second street, from Arch to Chesnut streets, was also a place of great resort for goods. To live then as far west as Seventh street wits to reside quite out of the city ; while the locality of the college was so far out In the country, beyond the city limits, as to make a day s Journey on foot necessary to reach and return rrom It. What a emipter of Interest we could here Introduce did time permit the consideration of the subject of the connection of Stephen (iirard with the develop ment of this city. He saw upon his llrst visit its ad vantages, and with characteristic promptitude seized the opportunity to make Judicious investments; the result is before us at this moment In sublime reality, (iirard accumulated wealth; his example stimulated others; those (-round him grew rich; he liought and improved estates, and in doing this enhanced the value of those around him; the cltv grew and lieeame great, and it is now our privilege and duty to glv.i an expression of gratitude to the Uiver of all good that the sails of the young mariner were directed towards the obscure port of Philadelphia in the vear A. D. 1 ITT. He sought to ft ml In it a home; he" lived ami died its grent benefactor. Those who have been the contemporaries of Stephen (iirard have doubtless heard his name fre quently associated with stories of the rigidity with which he required compliance with aH his contracts In the dim-rent departments of trade, commerce and II nance in hich lie was so extensively engaged ; but they knew little or nothing of the snares and traps that designing men placed In his path. It was the unceasing watchfulness of Mr. (lirard, and his acute perceptions of the dangers to which disobedience of orders exposed him, that made him so exact in all things. While glancing thus briefly nt some of the most strongly marked peculiarities of Mr. Guard's charac ter, we would be wanting in a full appreciation of its scope If we were to omit allusion to what we have always felt to be a grand reature In the creation of the college. He knew from observation and expe rience that the happiness und prosperity of a people depend mainly upon a love of country and the in culcation of habits tif honestv, Robrletv, and truth fulness, and that these principles should be taught in youth, when the mind Is plastic and impressible. He therefore conceived the sublime ideaof infusing Into society, through the medium of an educational institution, In which should be taught "fact ami things, rather than words or signs, and where by every proper means a pure attachment to our re publican institutions and to the sacred rights of con science us guaranteed bv our hnppv constitutions, should be formed and fostered in the minds of the scholar." When he had fully completed the bright and beau tiful plan of the college, he said : "It is my desire tlvit all the Instructors and teachers in the college shall take pains to instil into the minds of all the scholars the purest principles of morality, so that on their entrance Into active life thev mt'iv. from In clination and habit, evince benevolence towards their fellow creatures, und a love of truth, sobriety and industry, adopting ut the same time such religious tenets as tneir matured reason may enable them to prefer." Gentlemen, may I not be permitted in these crudely arrumred closinir remarks to snircest to von a. con. tinued special attention to the points of character Mr. (iirard so particularly designated as essential to the full success of his comprehensive plan of a col lege tor your nencut? ins industry, economy, ami sobriety are worthy your closest imitation, while in the love he bore his adopted country, and in his fidelity to the interests of the community In which he uvc-ii, ne is a mouei iniieeu. The Anni verHnry Hymn. The exercises were brought to a close by the sing ing of an anniversary hymn to the tune of "nome. ward Bound," written and dedicated to the Alumni by President Allen, as follows: Home of our youth. Alma Muter, ngnin Thy otiilriron come; Weld the stronK linkn of our Brotherhood's chain, And irroot our home. Touchers and friends, ye who pointed our way th where the tiath of mtnirritv lay.

For a week or more, Twelfth street between liace and Monterey, has been turned up side down and rendered entirely impassable by the construction of a culvert along that portion of ths thoroughfare. Yet the contractor, whoever he may be, has taken no precaution whatever to prevent tin occurrence of accidents in consequence of the con dition of the street The whole suiiare should have been enclosed by a rope or rail at each end, as a warning to the drivers of vehicles, but there has been no such precaution taken, and wagons and car riiiges have frequently lieeu obliged to turn about after running upoutlie'obstructious. About 10 o'clock lust evening a carriage drawn bv two horses, and containing a lady oeciipant, was driven squarely into the ditch before the driver had any intimation of the condition of the street. As the moon was presumed bv the city authorities to be shining, the iras lamo lust in front of the scene of the occurrence had not been lighted, and the spot was enveloped In absolute darkness, one 01 tne horses was extricated without dllllculty, but 1111 hour elapsed before the other, a very valuable animal, could be removed, with the aid of a dozen men uud the appliances of shovels and planks. The carriage could not be lifted out of the muddy ditch until this morning.

It Amenities in an Indiana Penitentiary IWurdercrN Allowed to Ho FIhIiIiik and 1 .eit her Convicts Dine with the Warden. A correspondent of the Chicago Jiepublican writes from Indianapolis, under date of May 10: "Convicts In the State Penitentiary of Indiana very quickly detect weakness lu an ottlcer, and os quickly avail themselves of whatever advantage it may be to them. It took them but a short time to discover that Indecision held tho reins of govern ment, and as the discipline relaxed have gradu ally set the rules of the prlsoa at naught, until they now hold the upper hand. When reported by a guard for misconduct, they are Bent back with a gentle reprimand or good advice, and as soon as they are out of the warden's sight laugh at his weakness and jeer at the guard for his pains. Open violation of the rules goes unpunished, and a purty of convicts were actually taken by the warden to his house and took tea with him and his family. Two of that party shortly afterwards made their eeeupe by scaling the walls, and, when recaptured, gave as a reason for running away that the guard had been cross to them. They were believed, sent buck to their places unpunished, while the guard was reprimanded for speaking harshly to the little Innocent dears. "Those of the guards who still adhere to the old fashioned notions of discipline, and think that obedi ence should be exacted from the convicts, are now threatened with dismissal, and will be dismissed un less they mind their ways, and stop lacerating tne feelings of those pet lambs. A few days, or at fur thest a few weeks, will bhow whether tills is correct or not. "From fifteen to eighteen couvlets, male and female, are dally allowed to run at large, without restraint, aud It reully seems as If the worst charac ters in the prison had been selected to have the favor conferred on them. Four at least of them are murderers. Burglars and highway robbers help to swell the liHt. Parties of them are allowed to go tlshlng at the fulls, a mile from the prison. Of a fine afternoon the females, dressed in full citizen's cos tume, promenade the streets or tako long walks on the commons, while some of the men play ball or cut circus capers und perform gymnastic, feats for the delectation of invited guests. The women are not alone in the mutter of dress ; some of them snort articles of cltlz.en'8 clothing, aud make use of their liberty and spuro change by patronizing tho little doggery near the prison. And further, as if defi ance of decency und of the city laws, a convict drives a milk wugon from tho prison, und sells milk right under the noses of the people who pay the taxes that support this burlesque on the name of Penitentiary. "Mrs. Longnecker, Kullle Hubbard, June Williams ami Mrs. Clein, four women of the prison, are there for life terms. Mrs. Longnecker Is a woman who poisoned her husband In Indianapolis some five or six years ago. Old Aunt Hullle Hubbard is a woman sixty vears of age. She aud her husband murdered a family of seven- father, mother, and live children in Wubush county, thirteen years ago, becuuse she and her husband wanted ubout forty-llvo dollars' worth of furniture tliut was In the house iu which the two futilities lived. After they had mur dered the fumlly of seven, they buried the dead bodies under the house, and gave out that the missing family hud removed from tho neighborhood. They lived six months above the murdered fumllv, and might have lived there yet hail not some awkward accident disclosed the presence of the dead bodies. Then she and her husband were arrested, tried, anil convicted. He was hanged, and she was sent to the penitentiary for lllo. We were astonished when tlie warden said, 'She is an excellent, good old woman, and I have all the confidence In the world In her. She Is allowed perfect freedom about the place, and she considers this her home.' " WEDDING INVITATIONS, ENOIUVED IN the newent and host nannar. . iXiUla liiiiU&A, Stationer nd KnrTT, 0
