This Home for Indigent Widows and Single
Women'is one of those quiet, unostentatious,
but Most admirably-managed charities for
which Philadelphia is peculiar. It furnishes
a comfortable and respectable retreat for a
most deserving and most helpless class of
women, and we are ladg to learn that its
Managers appreciate the fact that the time
has come for an 'enlargement of its field of
usefulness, to meet the, growing demands of
our great population. This " Widows' House,"
as .iris popularly called, the Penn Widows'
Asylum and Christ • Church Hospital,
_are all very useful and deserving
institutions for thiS relief of the class of worthy
aged women, who need the shelter-and com
fort of a home in their declining years. They
are all restricted, both by want. of means and
of room, from extending relief to the extent
of the just demands upon them, and our
liberal-minded citizens cannot do better than
to devote a generous share of their benefac
• • tons to these noble charities.'

election of officers on Monday last. The •

re-election. Mr. Fry's connection with this
road extends back some eight or nine years,
and although it is but k short rout e,not having
a large population to patronize it, he has sue
ceedcd, through. economical and prudent
management, in making it pay fur dividends.
-The Company are now comparatively clear
of debt, thud are the owners in foe of valuable
real estate in the western part of the city.

Dubuque or McGregor;' which would swell the totals
materially. If the shipments NV eltward by the railroads
were given, they would sw ell immensely this surprising

THIS ROAD ALSO RCNS THROUGH THE RICH

THIS ROAD PASSES THROUGH THE MOST EN
