DAILY A Visit In company i to the Koine. ith the .Rector of St James' Church, and by bis invitation. we this, morning, together with a gen- lam n n f th fir.hool rVimmitted in thin city, visited St. James Home, located at the corner of Eighth and Orange streets This institution, as we have previously stated in tbe Rkview, is the oflspring of the church or pariih of the sam name in this city and is maintained, un. er the management ot -the Rev. Dr Watwm, almost exclusively by St. Jarm parifeh. In printing au abstract of a sermon delivered by the Rector on Thankugiv'u g day we took occasion then to refer to the excellent w ork that baa been done and the self-sacrificing labor performed by those who are attached to the iustitutioo, but it may Lot be . amiss to repeat h re some of the good work which is beirf'p accomplished, day by day, by these faith ful workers in the Vineyard of their Master. There are at present thrf Sisters of the Sisterhood who are engaged at the Home in the noble undertaking of imDartintr religious, as well as secular f. w m m instruction to tchildren, whom they gather into the fold, from all classes, some of whom, but for the good teaching and patient instruction which they re ceive there, together with the influence ex erted over them by those holy women, would in all probability grow up. to be come outcasts in society. The children are well grounded in the church catechism and receive the rudiments of a good education. There are in all some sixty scholars at present, but owing to the ' sickness which is quite prevalent among the children now, not more than half were in attendance this morning. The devotional exercises are conducted every Tuesday morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, by the Rev; Dr. Watson, the children all answering audibly and correetly in the responses. These services over Dr. Watson then examines them on thecat echism.or certain parts of it, and their ready and correct answers famish substantial evidence of the thoroughness of their In struction in this particular. Examina tions in arithmetic and other studies were made this morning, which proved quite satisfactory ' also. This institution has er been in existence now over ten years, during which time the immense amount of good accomplished by the work plan ned and projected from the Home by those in charge, is simply incalculable, and the good work still goes on. The work of tbe institution is now more thoi- oughly organized and systematized than possibly ever before. Tbe Sisters have their regular duties mapped out for the day and the week as well. They visit the poor and the sick and the needy and they carry the. blessed teachings of ho Divine Word into the humblest cot ; there are none too poor nor too wretched for those ministering angels, as they are sometime called by the sick and the suffering, to vis it. Our purpose is not to write in any spirit of fulsome adulation here ( ind we do not 'think we have done so) bu to give as near as possible a correct and truthful statement of what is and has bien accom plished by the faitnful workers in this very worthy institution. We would like to see it enlarged, o that mire laborers cjuld be employed to sow the good seed. This can enly be done by the liberality of the people of the Chuich. "The Home was founded by the generosity of one donor alone ; surely then others might aid in the gojd work so weU begun, by giviu of their subitiuw a little, to further the noble obj-jcts in view. Dr. A, J. DeRosset, the Sauior Warden of the Vestry of St. James Church, is the m J a a generous donor reierreu io above. Tnis gentleman, in the year 1867 we think, conveyed to the vestry of St James' church tbe right and title in the entire block of ground, together with, the fine large house now standing upon it, whxh is called and used as St James Home, a munificent gift beyond a doubt and one which is well worthy f emulation by others in this commn.tty who are no less interested in the grand. objects to be attained by I hi null tu stitution than tbe gyattan named aU. We understand, however, that there are others who have been liberal to the Home, but our purpose jiow U to reate an interest in mis wort sa that it may meet with a gerl liberal res ponce from, sl like the coeretra nQ woxi By rector .oi James, have their heart and soul ia tbe cause in which this lau lable undertakjg i wase tablisbed.

We were noi particularly struck with Mr. Roberts in the character of Orlando, lie has a slight tendency to stage rants' and thus destroys -the i-iL-ct that his act ing would other w ite have. The female characters were well rendered, and Miss Pomeroy's support is, we take it, abdve the average. Tonight she will appear as Pauline in the Lady of Lyons with Mr. Leak easClaudeMelootte. In the char acter of Pauline she will have a better Opportunity to show her histrionic powers her delight and remorse. County Commissioners.
