Managirs for 1869.
The coutribidors of the House of Refuge
for'Weatern-Penusylvanla held their Fif
teenth Annual meeting at the office of the
institution, No. 67 Fourth avenue, at ten
o'clock yesterday morning.
Tames B D. Bleeds, Esq., called the Meet
ing to order, and upon his motion Robert
C. Loomis, Esq., was called to the chair,
and Charles S. Gill, Esq., appointed Secre
tary.
• Immediately after the organization the
Board went into an election for officers and
managers for the ensuing year.
Messrs. Charles S. Gill and R. L. Ring
wait were appointed tellers to conduct said
election.
While the balloting was in progreas the
Secretary read the report of the President
of the Board of Managers, as follows:
20 the Contributora of the House of .Refuae
of IFestern Pennsy/vania, and the Levi:sta.
ure:—ln presenting our Fifteenth Annual
Report, we would acknowledge the blessing
of Divine Providence, which has attended
our labors during the year, and Would again
express our renewed contidence in the suc
cess and iniportance of the work committed
to our care.
For information respecting the statistical,
sanitary and financial condition of the in
stitution, we would respeciluily. refer you
to the reports of the Superintendent, Prin
cipal, Teachers, Physician and Treasurer,
which are herewith submitted.
The Board of Managers feel deeply im
pressed with the responsibility of the work
in which they are engageif t and It is their
constant effort, while the interests of the
unfortunate inmates make their confine
ment a necessity, to render the Refuge, as
far as possible, a comfortable and happy
home.
A much huger number of chlidred have
been indentured during the past year than
in anyyear since the opening of the Insti r ,
tution, and we'are happy to say that in no
former period have the children, who have
been discharged, done so well; indeed,
those who have again relapsed into their
evil habits are rare exceptions. The em
ployinent of an agent of the Board, whose
duty it is to visit, counsel and encourage
the discharged inmates, has been produc
tive of most salutary Influence.
The Indenturing Committee have la
bored with the ':kindest solicitude in the
discharge of their duties; it is owing to
their ethane that so many of oar chil
dren have been provided with coin•
sortable hoines, , and aftbrded the op
portunity of obtaining the knowl
edge of some useful trade or occupation.
The discipline and instruction of the in
mates receive the cordial approval of the
Board, and it is hoped tlfat the moral and
religious training which our children have
received will be the means, through the
blessing of our Heavenly Father, iu lead
ing many of them, who have hitherto been
the subjects of vice and evil influenees to a
life of honor and virtue. Our thanks are
due to those clergymen in the vicinity who
have kindly volunteered their services in
the chapel exercises during the year and
who have thus aided the institution in the
religious instruction of those committed to
our care. •
- To the Superintendent, olilcen and em
ploya, who, by their fidelity in the dis
charge of their ditties, have afforded valua
ble aid in accomplishing the objects of the
institution, the floarddesire to express their
kindest acknowledgments.

Probable Homiclde—The Late Outrage in
31cUlure Township.
In the ,) GAZETTE of.-Thursday last we
gave an 'account of a brutatioutrage perpe
trated on the Tuesday night preceding, at
or near Wolf's tavern, in McClure town
ship, in which a stranger named Peter Mil
ler was beaten, as It is charged, hy Wolf,
the keeper' of the tavern, and left on the
roadside in an insensible condition. Since
we noticed the / affair; Miller has grown
much worse; so bad, indeed, that it is ap
prehended he/will not survive.. He has
become insane in consequence of his inju-
ries, and one of his feet, which was frozen
the night Ihe lay on the roadside, has morti
fied so as to necessitate amputation. Yet
the physicians are unwilling to perform the
operation at this time, owing to the fe4‘ble
condition of Miller, consequent on his ex
posure and other injuries. -
R. H. Kerr, Esq., of McClure township,
is investigating the case, and yesterday
held Wolf, the alleged assailant of Milner
to bail in two thousand dollars. j Miller
was yesterday removed to Passavant's In.
firmary by order of the Directors of the
Poor. igothing is`known of his antecedents
further than that on the night be was as
saulted he told 'Squire' Kerr he was from
Virginia.
Wolf denies that he committed the as- -
sault, but circumstances developed in con
nection with the case justified Justice Kerr.
in holding him to ball to await the result of
Miler's injuries. \

NEW Buronrozr, January 4, 189:
The Sunday Schools aif New Brighton
held their semi-annual 'union meeting in
the 'United Presbyterian Church yesterday
afternoon.
Dr. John Sargent, Secretary of the county
for New Brighton, called the meeting to
order, and on motion, Rev. Wallace, pastor
of the U. P. Church, was elected to preside
at the meeting.
The Secretary, Dr. Sargent, then read a
very interesting and encouraging report of
the schools of the town, in which he gave
the following statistics: Whole number of
children in attendance, 712. ' reading the
scriptures, 534; number of -officers and
teachers, 103.
There, are eight schools in town. All
were represented but the Episcopalian and
Roman Catholic.
Three of the schools—Presbyterian, Uni
ted Presbyterian and First Methodist—re
ported $331 collected for missionary.. pur
poses.
The schools are generally self-supporting
and in prosperous condition.
The meeting was addressed by the Presi
dent of the County Association - ' Dravo,
Revs. Crowther, Critchlow and Ross, of
Mi91401/li, interspersed with singing and
prayer.
Upon the whole the meeting was a very
pleasant One, and we trust profitable to all. l
The friendly feeling existing between the
churches and schools is especially note
worthy as a favorable sign of the times.
