GERMAN ORPHAN ASYLUM.

The name of this institution indicates its character and it
is managed with that success which characterizes the busi-
ness operations generally of this class of our citizens. The
Managers modestly request that their property of the associa-
tion be exempted from taxation, and we respectfully recom-
mend that their request be granted.

BALTIMORE FEMALE COLLEGE.

This institution, under the presidency of Prof. N. C".
Brooks, assisted by an able Faculty, is in a flourishing con-
dition. The President desires an increase of the free scholar-
ship, so as to give Wicomico county a free pupil and Balti-
more city, two more with a proportionate increase of the-
State appropriation. The matter will receive due considera-

the Senatorial Districts, and the sum of sixty dollars for each
scholar.

ST. VINCENT'S INFANT ASYLUM.

This institution was opened in 1856 ; more room being
absolutely necessary, it was transferred from time to time
until the completion of its present building. Since its open-

of four years, have been received into the institution ; and
now, the present building being too small, the Managers
design erecting another wing, for which they appeal for aid
from your Honorable Bodies'. Five thousand dollars is a
small amount, taking into consideration the vast amount of
suffering which will be relieved, and an annual appropria-
tion of $1,500 is cheerfully recommended by your committee.

THE BALTIMORE INFIRMARY.

A visit to this establishment, which is connected with the
Maryland University School of Medicine, was also made, and
your Committee were pleased and instructed by all they
witnessed. An application has been made for assistance, to
which your attention is invited.

ST. ANTHONY ORPHAN ASYLUM.

This is a praiseworthy institution. One hundred and
thirty children are now in the building—chiefly of German
parents. A small appropriation will assist them very mate-
rially in their earnest effort to relieve orphanage. We
suggest an appropriation of $1,000.

ST. MARY'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.

This noble institution has been in existence forty-five
years, supported entirely by contributions from the Man-
