The Sketers of the Good Shepherd —a Catholic sisterhood—now have such instita- tions in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and other leading cities, in which hundreds 0! fallen women have been reclaimed and are now leading respectable lives. The Catholic clergy of this city, for years past, have used their best efforts in beh apr manner to aid all unfortunate women, an here to the Home of the Good Shi in Bal- timore and Philadelphia, where they remained until thoroughly reformet ‘after which positions were secured for th all reminiscences of associations might as fer as possible be obliterated. The women upon entering the Home of the Good Shepherd drop the names by which they were formerly known and adopt new ones, :o that when they leave the institution they are rarely pursued by former associates. In each home there are three classes—the class of preservation, the Magda- lens, and the penitents; the firsi-named being compozed 02 young girls and women ranging in age from twelve to twenty years. They are in most cases daughters ot respectable parents, whose associations have so med them that they find it necessary to place them under the charge of the Sisters in order to keep them out of harm's way. They are taught reading, =e sewing, and other light work. The second cla about forty have been : nt from em in other cities so that sare women who have sought the shelter of the home, and hr ve been so impressed with its beneficence that, having pased the requisite probation, they ‘have voluntarily as- sumed an obligation to remain within the walis and aid the Sisters in their humane efforts. The third class are the parties who, tived and disgusted with the shameless and ter- rible life they have been ‘eading, have yolun- ta.ly sought the sheltering provection of the home, anu ate earnest!y endeavoring to so order their lives thet they may be fitted t> again walk ercet in the paths of decency and r= pectabilicy .rom which, by *heir own acts, they had been excluded. ‘The institution ts entirely :el=sup- por.ing. and after being csiablished no appeals ave made to the public for its suppo.:. In Bal- timore they have more sewing at times than they can do, irom which an ample revenue for the support of the irscitution is derived. Moral sarsion ‘s the principle which governs the insti- tation, and no inmate is compelled to remain there a.ter she expresses a desire to leave. peor cabo taheart4 Tue Hearty Mex Looxtxo Arrer STONE Cavsners, Taxaters, Erc.—At a meeting of the Board of Health last night Dr. Verdi re- rted that he had seen Mr. Clephane and also ¢ Board of Public Works in: to thestone crushing machine on G street, wlio informed him that the machine was Srecomity, aud that the people would have to Lear with it, andthe board requested that it be allowed to remain where it is until the work upon the sireet is completed. Dr. Verdi read a leiterirom Mr. Lewis Clephane to the efiect that the machine would beremoved when the work is done, and not before. Drs. Cox and Bliss and Mr. Marbury regarded the lever asdisrespectful. After discussion a reso- lution was adopted that the health officer notify Mr. Clephane that he must cease stone crushing in the vicinity of Grant Place within one week. On motion of Dr. Verdi, Dr. Ritchie was or- dered to move the powder from the Georgetown wagazine within one month. Dr. Verdi, fiom the committee to examine the metbods of egress from places o* nublic amusc- ments, reported incase ot the Na. »»al Theater, that the doors were ample to egress for a large audience in a short time. They regret that Lincoln Hall is rot provided with such means of egre susan occasion of alarm would demand, and recommend that twelve seats be removed from the immediate vicinity of the southeast coor, and that the northwest door should be widened. Wall's Opera House is well provided with means of egress, only needing some im- proveren: in the stairway leading to the gallery. | The report was accepted, aud the committie continued. A communication was received complaining of a dilapidated hovse on the canal at George- town, opposite Herr & Welch's mill. The sani- tary inspector was ordered to notify the owners toabate the nuisance within forty-eight hours; if not obeyed, to be done by him. iecieces te seg for tewer in square 690, and vans for a water main, were referred. ——s ee ADDITIONAL Scnoot Hovses FOR THE County.—Meesrs. x W.
