The "Church Heine," a most admira
ble charity, maintained and supervised
by the Episcopal Church of Pittsburgh
and vicinity, held its tenth anniversary
at Trinity Church on Sunday evening.
The children of the Home were present,
all apparently in ruddy health and
with happy faces. The usual evening
service of the church was read, the first
part, including the Psalter, by Rev. Mr.
'Slattery, Rector of St. James, the lessons
by Doctor Page, and the .creed and
following prayers by Rev. Mr.
Egar, Rector of St. Peters,. after
which the meeting . was organized
for business by calling to the Chair (the
Bishop being unavoidably absent) the .
Rev. D.C. Page, Senior Presbyter of the
Diocese. Rev. John.ficarbOrorigh, -Rec
tor of Trinity, then, by request, read the
report of Mrs. Crittenden, President of
the Board of Lady Managers. This re
peon was both comprehensive and con
cise, detailing the operations of the .
Society during the past year. It was a
model of style and perspicuity, and was
listened to by the large audience with
marked interest. Mr. Scarbore.igh also
read the report of Miss Trainor, Treas
urer, which exhibited a healthy state
of the finances. A number of ladies
were then nominated and elected
to serve as managers for the
ensuing year. The business having been
thus disposed of, the Anniversary Ser
mon was preached by Rev. Dr. Preston,
Rector of St. Andrews Church. The
sermon was in the Doctor's best vein,
was appropriate to the occsaion and well
calculated to impress the hearers and to
awaken impulses of charity for Bbd's
poor in every circumstance of destitu
tion and want.
We hoped that the officers would fin
nish copies of the reports for publication,
and therefore took no notes, And-have to
regret the , consequent meagre account
we are obliged to give of this most praise
worthy Institution and its statistics of
good work done in the past year.
A noteworthy incident of the evening,
which it would be wrong to omit, was the
public acknowledgment made by the
Rector of Trinity Church. at the request
of the lady managers, of the grand kind
ness of Mr. Pitcairn, proprietor of the
Excelsior Omnibuses, in sending car
riages to the "home," at. Locust Grove,
for the inmates, and taking them to the
cbsroh and bringing them all safely
back when the services had ended. We
join in the common sentiment of thanks
for such considerate courtesy.

Some.time since a petition was I pre
sented to the Allegheny Councils.for the
extension of Rebecca street from its pre

has since been under dis cussion by rest

again be'brought before Councils at their

Lotion—Hoard of Managers Elected.
Yesterday afternoon the anniversary
meeting of the Pittsburgh and Allegheny
Orphans' Asylum was held in the bean
titul chapel of the asylum building, on
Ridge street. The chapel had been
tastefully decorated with evergreens
and flowers for the occasion, which,
.
with the neatly dressed and smil
ing children, and the throng of in
terested visitors and patrons of the cause
filling every available inch of room.
formed an exceedingly happy scene
PlOasurable to look upon. _
At the appointed hour, three o'clock,
the meeting was °organized with F. R.'
Brunet, Esq., -presiding, when Rey. J.
R. Kerr: opened the 'exercises with an
appropriate and fervent prayer. The
children then sang -in a remarkably ef
ifiotive manner .a song entitled—"We
Come with Songs to Greet You." Mrs.
Thomas . McFadden presiding it the
organ. In concert with their Instructr
ess they next recited the: Thirty-fourth
Psalm, giving evidence of careful
training and memories of unusual.
strength. ‘ ,
After the conclusion of this exercise
Hon. Robert McKnight read the follow
ing report of the Secretary,, Miss H. S.
I.4l ' thr". SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Another year has passed away, and as
we come together to report the progress
of the work, your Board of Managers de
sire to present their earnest congratula
tione on the increasing usefulness of the
institution. - V
- A much larger number of orphans are
now under our care than ever before.
During the past year more than 260 chil
dren have found shelter for a greater of
less period of time lathe Asyluin. About
226 are at present in the institution. Of
these nearly 206 are old enough to be
regularly in school. Of this number,
139 are soldiers' orphans under State con
trol, which contracts for their support.
The health of the children has been
remarkably good. Eicept in the nursery,
where a little baby, suffering from want
and neglect, was brought in too late to
derive any materiallbeneflt from all the
efforts to restore its broken constitu
tion, we have but one death to record,
that of a young girl fourteen years of age
—a soldier's daughter, whose- remains
were laid in the Orphan's lot at Union=
dale Cemetery.
The report next refers to the domestic
arrangements of the institution, and
speaks in the highest terms of the ern,
ciency and faithfulness of the Matron,
Mrs. Sterling, and her assistant Miss
Henry.
The resignation of Mrs. Brooks is much
regretted. The managers succeeded in
temporarily supplying per place by the
selection of Miss. lid iler, who has given
every satisfaction Eighty.seven of
,i
the younger pupils aye been organized
into a primary sch I, under the care Of
a former pupil, W ose fitness for the
work is ipparent the progress of the
scholars:
In the Sunday heel, through the
kindness of friends, all the requisites for
a good school have been furnished, and
everything is in a nourishing condition.
In this connection the Managers return
their earnest thanks to the Rev. J. R.
Kerr for the kindness and sympathy with
which he had assisted them in their work.
During the winter so many have
been admitted to the institution that
it was found necessary to make a num
ber of changes in the building to accom
modate the increasing wawa of the in
mates.
Continued evidence of the I good con
duct of the children apprenticed by the
Managers :are being received. In most
cases the children have found comfort
able homes and are being properly
trained. Some of the boys are now
learning good trades in this city.
The report speaks of the kindness of
Mr. Leggate, in allowing the use of part
of his - property for a play ground,
to Messrs. E. Bourne tit ' Bro., for
large reductions in their bills, and
to a coal dealer in Allegheny for a gift
of two thousand bushels of coal, to other
friends for donations of fruits, cakes,
flowers, 4ltc., which enabled the children
to enjoy many a happy feast. It
concludes: "Since our last anni
versary we have been called to
part with an esteemed Manager, Mrs.
Mary Robinson, whose devotion t to the
Institution commenced in 1832, and
whose interest in it only closed with her
life. Ills to the diligence and faithfulness
of her efforts, as Treasurer for thirty
three years, that we must attribute much
of the success which has crowned, the
work of the Association.
In reviewing the past year, though con
scious that not all our work has proved
profitable, we have much to encourage
us. In these homeless children we rec
ognize not only suffering humanity to be
led and clothed, but possessing immortal
souls to be trained for this life and that
which is to come. As the clustering blos
soms do not ripen to perfection, so these
little ones, whose childhood was beset
with daily temptations, do not always
lose their early impressions. Yet midst
our work we have been cheered to learn
that many of the•children formerly under
our care, have become useful, consistent
chriatlans, and even from this circle some
have, been gathered into the' visible'
church. All around us lie. the imple
men:soflabor to remind us thatur task
is not yet finished. Yet, sho ld our
i o
school prove as the school of th lapida
ry in which the gems are polished, how
shall we rejoice to see theni placed in the
Master's crown.
. THE TREASURY. 1
The report of the . Treasuror, Mrs. H.
B. Logan, was next read, which exhibit
ed the financial affairs of the institution
to bo in a liealthy condition. Among the
receipts were; the bequest of R. O. Glyde,
deceased, $1,000; appropriatiOns from the
State fir the support of soldiers', orphans,
$11,18199; rent of property, interest, do
nations, iirc., making the total i seceipts,
;20,832.23. The expenditures; were, for
clothing 'and provlsions, - $5,005.49; re-
Pairs, $1,040.41; salaries, $2,450.60. and
other Incidental expenses, such as shoes,
medicines, fuel; insurance, marketing,
dtc., ,to.. making the total expenditures
$21,0845.33. leaving balance due the
Treasurer. $253.10. This is, however, se
cured by donations received subsequent
to thbalancing of the account. '
Th reports sere unanimously
adopted. and ordered to be filed.
Foowing the reading of the reports,
the audienoe was 'entertained -for more
than an hour, by the children, with sing
ing, declamations, dialogues, recitations,
&c., some of which were, for children so
young, of the highest order of merit.
The musical exercises were particu
larly &serving of mention, correct,
clear and sweet, and eliciting the
warmest applause froth ' every Bitten
er. Among the declamations, the salute
tory, by -Johnny Fleishman, and the
touching tribute to the memory of a

Ail order was drawn in favor of Wm.
Finch, Jr., for $3,500 for paving dose.
Ths above matter gave rise to some
disCiresion. Win. Finch, Sr., was pres
ent i and claimed that he was in partner
ship with Wm. Finch, Jr., and was enti
tled to a share of the money.
Mr. Brown, Borough Solicitor. was
called ycipon fora solution of the difficul
ty. = He read the articles of agreement
between the borough and Win. Finch,
Jr.,. Jot paving. The name of Wm.
Finch; Sr., did not occur in the articles,
but it appeared upon the bond. He was
note therefore, a party to the contract.
Mr. Finch,Sr., bald that his name had
been inadvertently omitted from the ar
ticles, and qe hoped Council would not
give this rhoney to his son, William,
Jr., until they had made further inquiry.
Mr. Jones said the Council had noth
ing to do with the business affairs of the
Finches. They could settle outside of
Council. This ended the discussion.
A bill from the contractor for the erec-
Lion of the Walton bell tower, was pre
sented. The bill was referred to the
Fire Committee.
. The Solicitor presented an ordinance
grandm¢ the right of way to the Monon
gahela Valley Railroad Company, along
Josephine street, frottra line in the mid
dle of Harmony street, to the eastern
boundary of the borough, which is Mo.
Cliirg street. The ordinance grants to
the Railroad Company the privilege
of" constructing either a single or
a `double track alone said Josephine
street, to be placed as nearly as possible
inlthe middle of the street, the company
to conform to the grade as estab fished, or
as' it may hereafter be eatabl:shed by
Council; the company to pave and keep
in'. repair said street from Harmony to
McClurg streets. The railroad company
wily be required to'refund to the borough
the money expended for grading and
paving said street. The trains of the
company shall not travel at a greater
speed than four miles an hour.
The ordinance was passed and the
..Bergess instructed to furnish a copy of
the same to the President of the Railroad
Company.
•Mr. Brown also gave an opinion con
cerning the question as to the liability of
the Ormsby heirs for the curbing of ; both
sides of Railroad street. The gentleman
thought that inasmuch as the said heirs
owned twenty feet in the center of the
street, they were not liable for the curb
ing on either' side, except where their
property abutted on the street.
, Mr. Jones informed the Council that
citizens had complained of a nuisance at
the mouth of the John street sower.
In warm weather an intolerable stench
arose therefrom. A motion was adopted
instructing the Street Committee to in.
quire into the expediency of extending
said sewer so as to carry offal away
from the residences of said street.
Mr. Smith, a resident on Meadow street,
complained of the Union PlaninK Mill
COmpany for maintaining a nuisance by
lining said street for a lumber yard.
The Burgess stated that a criminal ac-
Con had been instituted against the par
ties, and the ease would be decided by the
court.
Adjourned till May 25th.
The Immortality of the Soul.
To the Editor of the Gazette:—,Sin: am
informed by a friend that a gentleman
claiming to be a , ministsr of religion,
known as. Elder Wendel, addressed,
some time ago, the Christian public in an
article inserted in the newspapers, in
which he unblushingly denied, strange
as it may seem, the fundamental princi
ple of all true rellgion—the immortality
of the foul—and that at the same time he
invited any minister of the 'Gospel hold
ing an opposite view to a discussion of
the subject with him. I did not see the
article in question, but am told that
a minister, after consenting to discuss
tith Mr.' Wendel,. declined for reasons
not stated. Now. lest the cause of truth
'should suffer at the hands of those who
,
are commanded to "contend earneatly
tot the faith which Was once dellVeied
the saints," I, as a minister of the G*el,
!believing= implicitly in the teaching Of
,the Word of God, and, therefore, in the'
;immortality of the zoui, take the liberty
pf respectfully inviting lidr.oWendel.to
lay his views ,on this subject before th e
'Public in the columno of the; Ge.zETTE,
(with your kind permission,) or any,
other of the Pittsburgh papers be may
'erect, when I shall deem it an incumbent
duty—although not fond of polemical
disputation—to present in reply what I
consider to be the teaching of Inspira
tion on thisall-important subject.' In the
mosntime, permit me, •sir, to subscribe
myself your obedient servant. in Christ,
