The occasion was the formal taking possession of the college by the board: OHI'HAKH AND OlTirmiH, OP UtHART COT.MtflR ft devolves upon me as President of the governing body to announce to yon, oillclally, that all control ever the charitable irnsta held by the city of Phila delphia, including this Institution and its inmates, has, by an amendment of the charter, passed from Councils to fifteen city officers called Directors of City ') riiRts. Twelve of them are permanent directors ap pointed by the Judges or our courts, si ting together as a board of appointment, the others are the Mayor of the city and the Presidents of the .elect aad Com mon ConnciiR. In notifying yon that these Directors of City Trnsts are now the governors of tnis Institution, it affords me pleasure to make the distinct avowal, that this change, made at the Instance or those who pray for me lameness cnimren ana wiciow, is soieiy ne Bined to promote the charlt-blo intentions of the testators without Intending to censure any person who now Is or ever has been connected with these charities. It also affords me pleasure to state that all the offi cers and servants of the college will be continued, if efficient; but If Inefficient, It Is hardly likely that any political or personal influence will be strong enough to continue them In office. The Directors of City Trnsts will endeavor strictly to comply with all the instmctlons in Mr. (Jfrard's will "toys will not be allowed to remain in the col lege If, after the use of mild means, they are unfit companions ror the rest" "habits of industry" will be inculcated, if necessary, by bilging every boy to acquire some department or handicraft, that he may become skillful and steady tn applying his powers. The will also enjoins that all the instructors and teachers In the college shall take pains to Instil into the minds of the scholars a love of truth as the herding of boys in large sections, the change from one section to another before any deep aiTcu tlon for the governess or prefect can be generated, and the rigidity of discipline consequent upon the present congregate system, are less favorable to the development of a love of truth and other virtues than the family system, the Board of City Trusts will, at an early day, be called on to consider what change may be necessary to csrry this Important moral requirement or tho will into full effect. All tbut laynicn can do will undoubtedly be done to in stil Into the minds or tho scholars "the purest princi ples or morality," as revealed In God's Word, "so that on their entrance into tho active lire, they may, from inclination and hubit. evince benevolence to ward their fellow-creatures." Yonder marble statue of the young soldier at rest, bnt fully equipped for duty, serves not only to com memorate the twenty-three graduates or the col lege, who, "in the recent contest ror the preserva tion of the American Union, died, that their country might live;'" but it will also serve to remind each director and officer that the testator of this munifi cent charity earnestly desired that the spirit of pa triotism should be fostered in the breast or each pupil. As long as the life-like statue of the benea cent founder of this institution continues to stand in tho vestibule of the college, as the guardian or Mr. Glrsrd's mortal remains there entombed, so long may the Directors or City Trusts bo the faithful guardians of the spirit ot his last will and testa ment. It only remains for me, In the name of tho board, to authorize tho officers of the college to continue as heretofore at their respective posts, subject to the authority of tho Directors or city Trusts, and obeying the rules or the college as far as they are applicable to the altered circumstances of the insti tution. I close by presenting to the orphans and officers of the college, through you, President Allen, the 1'iesldent or Common Council, and my other colleagues lu the direction or the college; his Honor the Mayor and the President or Select Coun cil being unavoidably absent from the city. House Robbery Cavture or the Bur glars. Policeman Ryan, of the Eighth AU trict, while patrolling bis beat on Friday night, noticed a light in tho third story of the dwell ing of Mr. Casper Heft, No. 013 Franklin street, and knowing the family to be absent from the. city, concluded that burglars were upon the' premises. He secured the services of Sergeant Jones, and a search was made. They found that the kitchen window bad been pried open. On entering the house and proceeding up-etalrs, they came across two burglars hid away in a closet. The men were taken into custody, and afterwards recognized as old offenders against the law. They gave the names of Henry Buck and Charles Harris. The latter resisted Police man Ryan, whereupon the officer drew his club and used it pretty freely on tbe head ot tne un ruly orisoner. Finally Harris agreed to go quietly to tho lock-up. Tho thieves had tho roughly ransacked the dwelling. Every bureau drawer and trunk was turned upside down, and the contents scattered over the floors. The thieves had gathered together everything of value, nnd were in readiness to carry off the goods when the descent was in ado upon them. On the persons of the accused were found a "jimmy, a watch, and promissory notes belong ing to Mr. Heft, matches and other articles. The promissory notes were found stuffed In a stocking worn by one of the defendants. The prisoners will have a hearing at the Central Police Station this afternoon. The Mortality of the Citt.
