We alao find that the pipe* connected

would recommend that the pipe* at the

dogged.

We have examined tbs books and

Having visited the asylum for tb* poor
we find the property in general good con

ttate. We would reoommeud that the

who do not work be inoreaaed to flve-
eigbu of a peok and to olbera aa the Gom-
missioncra may think heat, not to exoeed
the aforementioned rate. *
We also recommend that ona blanket
be furnished each inmate sleeping alone
through the winter, same to be lelt in the
institution at lime of inmates discharge.
We recommend the building of a picket
fence around the Hteeards’ quarters, and
barns for the safe protection of provender
raised upon or brnngbt on the place; and
that the interior of the present buildings
be wbitewhaahod.

Having examined the books and papers

For the neatness and aeenraey that char

We learn from reliable parties that the

good condition. We are not indebted to

them have reported, and we submit that
they should be censured for neglect of

We reoommond the payment of #150

January last* to Mr. Stephen D. Lewis
for set vices rendered, and to be rendered,
in taking care of the Court House and

VAGRANCY.
We would especially call the attention
of the proper authorities to lira vast
amount of idleness* which necessarily
leads to crime and its concomitant evils,
that is now manifest in our community.
There are to be seen daily on onr stree’s
numbers of able-bodied %ien and women
who have no visible means of support,
and iu order to sustain life must resort to
crime. Our own Contfc Room, w hile we
prepare these presentments, is a sad proof
of thi* fact, evideuoed by the crowd in
attendance, two-thirds at leaHt of whom
have no interest in its proceedings.
