TOTE...Jibe eighteenth anniversary of these joint popular institutions -was celebrated at the Academy of Music, last evening, in the preienee of an audience thattilled the _house to rePletion in every part. The appearance of the children was in every respect admirable. The number present was about four hundred; the girls dressed in white, with red and blue sashes, and the boys in blue. Everything about them betokened neatness,• cleanliness, healthfulness - and discipline. At eight, precisely, the curtain rose, reveal ----ing--a-sight-suctras-isrrarely--seen:—To- wcompa ' - nies of soldiers' orphans were then marched on the stage. • A prayet was offered by Rev. E: W. Flutter, during Which the. soldiers ..rested on their guns. A drill was then gone through with by the two companies, under the command of Captain Frank Skia,M - , - - At its close theYwere reviewed-by-Major Dean,wbo appeared in full regimentals. • The boys were - trained by Dr. A. Harshbarger. A beautiful song; ." Motlitr's waiting for her children,", was. sung, which was folletved by the report of the Treasurer, J. L. Claghorn, Esq. The annual report was read by the Secretary, M. J. Mitchesati, Rain From -these two reports we glean the following statistics: Children in:the Home May 1, 1869, 338; ad mitted from Miy - 1;1869, - to May 1,1870, 121 469. Of whom there were 14 soldiers 'orphans. Returned tp_parents and furnished homes, 109_; enticed - a - Way:Air:absconded, 4 ; Vied, 2-116: Now in the Home, 344. Of these there are ""friendless children; 104; soldiers' orphans, 240 —344. The receipts amounted to *54,222 83: and the expenditures to $.54,..T22 83. At the close of. Mr. Mitcheson's report he ._made an appropriate allusion to the death of Mr. J. W. Clagliorn, to whom the Northern lionie is so largely indebted for its present efficiency. A favorite hymn of Mr. Clag horn's was then sung by the children, wlim several little girls attired in white and moffTh ing, offered a tender andtouching memorial to the...memory of their deceased friend and patron. It was in the form of - a. - chair draped in mourning, containing a beautiful floral cross. The little girls recited in concert a pretty address commemorating the virtues of _the...dead—This wa...s written by Miss_ Walk. Rarely has a more iniPressive scene ever bead presented on the boards of the Academy. The subsequent e.Xereises consisted of songs, dialogueS, recitations, &c., in all of which the children acquitted themselves admirably. A striking and pleasant featiire was a concert recitation by thirty little girls, entitled " Angling." One of the most prominent of the exercises Was the! piece," What May Be," written for the occasion yA. M. 'Spangler, and rendered by the children in a style that won the hearty .plaielits of the audience. The declamation of Socrates Snooks," by Mark Dean, was exceedingly well done, as were, in fact, all the pieces. A brief, appropriate and pointed address by - Rev..P. Stryker, D.-D., was-well - receive. A more lengthy written discourse was delivered by Rev. O. F. A collection - WaS taken up, the proceeds of Hiielet-rte-to be applied-to-the Ctianel—huil . • lug fund. Taken as a whole,the celebration was a cow ploc success, reflecting credit upon all con vened, and winning, we hope, a large num ber of new friends for these popular in stitutions. Locm.

The man or wbtnau who doehn't love flowers is a mau or woman to _ . be regarded as at least deserving of suspicion that their moral graces need thorough' hoeing. We have known people who alike entertained aversion toward music and babies. We never yet knew a person who disliked flowers. In the bosom of every wonian whom we ever • knew was implanted an appreciation for rose buds and johnny jump-ups.

Into the sick ward. 4 of its, 'hospital have lately been received about a hundred and fifty unfortunate:creatures, poisoned by the death-whom* that saturates the atmosphere of Fourth Ward .slumsin the vicinity of Bedford, Baker;..o- Spafford streets. The name given to tilts malady is the relapsing fever. •At intervals the medical is in terested in sets of sythoptoms, coincident is - a sufficient number, of cases to warrant It a. sub ject of especial study,if not of especial noin enclature. This was the case with; Bright's , disease of the kidneyind . with what: for a season- or two- Was_classiffeci . !Spotted. fever." To the list,' is -now to be added the malady originating in the disffict above named, and unpremeditatedly endowed *kb the title of " relapsing fever.,' .That its typo is not especialll, frightful, our reporter yester day learned. Thus far, under the assiduous watchfulnesS of the Alnashouse physicians, no patient was reported to us as having sunk into collapse. Opinions as to the• contagious char acter of the disease are divided. Doctor El- • mer has been seized with it, and with symp toms of such severity', that the physicians ori duty take the same recautions to avert in fection from it as they would do in diseases set down, as contagious beyond all dispute. The only person who setslirthe bedside of the victims is Rev. Father O'lirien,the Catholic Priest assigned by the Bishop to the onerous and self-sacrifloing labors of Chaplain to the Almshouse. - The-oneness of this gentleman's pnui_ose_was_ not.at_tirst _undetsto_oti.,_by_the__ sitYgeons• in charge. The columns of the limazTin some time ago -were the medium through which hp complained that from the bedsid'es of dying Catholics he had been driven while administering the sacrament that to the Moribund Catholic is believed to a certain ex tent it be his passport tq Heaven. The gentle man whorthits came into verbal collision with Father O'Brien is the same Doctor El - uer who is now lying so severely sick. Atlthe Almshouse hospital no more of this class caitat present be received. Those sent from Bedford street yesterday were sent, as a matter of necessity, to the pesthouse on- Lamb Tavern - road. The disease .is caused by a peculiar condition-of the atmosphere. '• It isn't l' , closely akin either pa tlie l jungle fever, to the follOirs t - inhalation of the 'PoriiineffiarslresTer - g.at - -Which - Wipes - out the British consuls at Sierra Leone. It arises from the continutus inhalation of an atmo sphere made up of nameless tilth,of an pnvary big diet.of,Soul food, of frightful uncleanliness and of deadly fluids in the shape of stimu lants. The success tif,ith which the re alady'is treated -at the AlmshOuse hospital is something al most worglerful. A change of air, even for a quarter of' a mile distant, has been known to revive a drooping patient almost as effectually as a change from the atmosphere of Canada-to - that of New Orleans. The "recovery of the pooecreatures Blockley may be-tardy:- Of any serious loss of liveathelittending doctors - - express - nnapprelreirsionT - The - enrativii - mis employed are .actively effeetive. With a re moval from the cause of the disease, a com paratively revivifying result is_ the - immediate consequence. The unexpected visitation is causing . a severe strain upon the Steward's, arid - the physicians' supplies. The Guardians of thek s Poor are individually and collectively giving -personal attention to the subject of the sick, and are leaving . no -pains unspared -to assuage the sufferings with which- the vic tims are wrestling. While the dOotors are very chary in expression of opinion as to con-, tagiousness of the disease,our reporter would counsel every one to defer a proposed visit to the "relapsing" ward of its hospital unless im pelled by the most special -business.
