Addison Henry, In closing the proceedings, remarked that although a post poned meeting was seldom apt to be a success, yet he was glad to Eee so many present; it was an interesting occasion, bnt especially to those who were seated before him, toe Inmates of the “Home," who always looked forward with plea sure to their approaching anniversary. The building which was occupied by the institution was originally a P ul dwelling, and had been altered to suit. It now accommodated sixteen persons, and could shelter but four or five more. The Managers, looking to the future enlargement of their means and usefulness, had purchased addi tional ground adjoining their present location. They believed that if they had deferred doing so, toe opportunity o£ adding to their limits Would have been lost. It was a prudent step, and al though the Board had incurred a debt of $19,000, there was every reason to believe that it would he discharged through the liberality®! the friends of toe Home. r _ The Houße expenses were about @2oU per month.

Mr. David Milne who we understood had already been-tf liberai benefactor, pledged himself for $lOO an nually; another gentleman announced himself as & contributor of ®lOO annually for five years. The singing of a hymn and a benediction closed the exerciseß. The institution was visited by quite a number of the audience, and more perfect neatness and good order in all the arrangements could not be found. Some of the old men pointed with pride to a full set of “Littell’b Living Age,” which had been presented by some kind friend.
