The Home has been established about six or seven years, and has accomplished grand work, between 50 and 60 children being at present under its control. The Town Hall was packed to overflowing last evening, when the children rendered a programme of sacred selections. They have been rmarkably well trained, and the musical talent displayed last evening was of a very high order, and the various selections were keenly appreciated by those present.
