In the chapter on the sanitary operations of the State, we have incidentally mentioned that a project was on foot to establish a " Home " for the orphan children of soldiers of Wisconsin, who were killed or died in the service of the United States during the rebellion.
We are gratified to be able to state that the " Home " has becD established, and by a recent act of the Legislature, adopted as one of the Benevolent Institutions supported by the State.
To correct a sentence in the notice of the institution given, elsewhere, we here state that an erroneous impression prevails that the General Government donated the buildings. This is not so, as we are assured by Mrs. Harvey. The buildings were turned over to the owners of the property, in consideration of the rent and repairs necessary to place the main building in its original condition when taken possession of by the United States authorities.
