The Immigrant Children - After the arrival of the steamer at Union Line Wharf, Fredericton (York Co.) on Wednesday afternoon anumber of boys and girls might have been seen marching in pairs across the gangway by a middle aged gentleman. This was J.F. MIDDLEMORE of Birmingham, England and these were orphan children from his home in the manufacturing city. As long ago as 1872, Mr. Middlemore and his father established a small home for orphan and destitute children at their own expense and under their own direction. Good homes have been found for upwards of 1200 children. Most of them go to Ontario where in the city of London there is a branch called the Guthrie Home. Mr. Middlemore brought over 131 this time, 24 of whom have been settled here and in the vicinity. Twenty were settled here last year. Some have taken another boy or girl. At Keswick Mouth (York Co.) children have been settled with Mrs. Alex. COLTER, Thomas H. COLTER, James COLTER, George COLTER. At Upper Maugerville (Sunbury Co.) with Miss STERLING and Walter SMITH. At Lower Maugerville with Geo. R. SMITH. At Douglas, with David McGIBBON, Mrs. Ludlow McGIBBON, Mrs. T. KETCHUM and Alex. M. ROSS. At Prince William with Mrs. Wm HATCH. At Tay Mills with Dudley MOODY. At Upper Nashwaak with James CAMERON. At Kintore (Victoria Co.) with Mrs. PETRIE. (see original)
