In the foregoing table, wheat is put down
at $1 ; rye, com and buckwheat 50 cts, beef 4J,
pork 5, lard 10, tallow 10 ; and garden vege
table, at a fair average price. The column con
taining expenses of Poor House, over and above
n-t proceeds of mill and farm as paid out, ex
hibits $2,103. 74 ; the last column, containing
taxes collected each year, exhibits an average
of $3.150.39, showing a difference of $1,076.-
65 ; this difference is accounted lor in the con
sumption of beef, pork, garden vegetables &.c.
not put down in the column of expenses, not
being paid out, but counted in as resources of
farm and garden in order to ascertain what the
property has been paying as a separate and
distinct property from the Poor House. This
difference added" to the cost of each pauper per
head a' above, makes the average cost of each
one per week, for the ten last years, &1.71 ;
this concluded ail expenses of Poor House, em
bracing Steward's salary, his family, Physician's
salary, Directors, Clerks, See. Fiom a thorough
and rigid investigation ot every Treasurer's and
Steward's report, which involved an examina
tion of every single item in each one for ten
years, nothing was detected but a fair and full
statement of income and out-lay. Some bills
were allowed occasionally which looked ex
travagant, but they would not have been paid
without checks being granted by the Directors.
There is some room for economizing ; but the
secret of so much lax and expense, is the un
avoidable cost of a very large family of say 60
people (including Steward and family) to be fed
and clothed all the time; following in its train,
Physician's bills, medicines, burial expenses,
Clerks, Directors, Justices, making out war
rants, constable's fees in bringing paupers &c.
&.c. These iattr r things make up a large bill
t items each year, which are not seen, but
felt.
Ti:e mill and farm taken together exhibit
an astonishing result. No real estate property
in the county pays like it. The mill is a source
of steady increase, yielding as much as most
farms alone, after paying all itsjexpenses, whilst
the farm and gardens, are still mare interesting
in their results.
Tt n uot a grain growing farm ; hut with a
large meadow, and its yield of corn, with work
done principally by the Steward and paupers,
the net increase is large, and the garden still
larger. From 2500 to 3000 heads of cabbage,
2At 300 doz. cucumbers are the annual yield
of the garden, including beets, parsnips, beans
&c, in proportion. The best thing about it, is,
the icork costs nothing, or very little. It is a
kind of work, paupers can and will do.
The above table is as near correct as it could
be made fiom the reports. From the mixed
manner in which some are made ont, it is im
possible to get items seperated _so as to get
them exactly under the proper head. It is
suggested, hereafter, that for ready informa
tion, and a clear exhibit of facts, the Treasurer
and Steward kepp th#*ir accounts, and makpout
tlieir the income ot the Mill,
in one column : the espi nses in another, and !
the same with regard to the jarm and Poor !
Jdouse p'op u rty. They are three separate ,
concerns, and the accounts should be kepi so.
The varied amount of expenses 111 different ;
years is accounted lor Ironi the tacts that more
checks were lifted in some years than others, j
The tilst Ihiee ot the above ten, shows the
average cost of paupers small ; the next column
of receipts by Treasurer explains it in the a
mount ot taxes received, and consequently the
small amount paid out.
Too loose a practice has prevailed in allow
ing exonerations to collectors ;. a moie rigid
rule would save the honest, willing tax-payers
a large amount.
Collectors, if allowed, get in the habit ot
putting every body on the 'scape list who don't
pay just when asked 5 this practice has bepn a
source of considerable burthern to the tax pay
ers within ten years. Collectors should bear |
in mind that no man can plead the three hon- i
dreil dollar law against taxes . and this rule ;
enforcbd, will leave very lew in Bedford j
county unable to con'ribute their mite to the
support ot the Poor.
The yield of \2i per cent on the investment
at original cost, may probably admit ola small
| deduction : but very little. Under no circum
stances could it get below 10. The board ot
commissioners appointed to sell the property
and buy another, &c., are satisfied that such
a change would be useless and unwise. The
objection to the property being on the turn
pike is no objection when it is taken into con
side! at ion that the vvay-laring population must
be supported any how ;it will not do to let
them starve ; the poor-house is made for the
poor, and the whole people ol the county may
as well keep them as those who live aiong the
toad ; the tax-payers along the turnpike have,
as it is, more than their share of beggars.
Besides this, it'the Institution were eight or
ten miles, or three or four miles from town on
i a farm, a great many way-farers would resort
jto it at all events : the Physicians would have
j to ride further, and charge more, the pauper's
i clothing would have to be hauled and catried
ito them ; the grand jury would have to visit
j them at a big expense; a Stdward and a band or
j two would have to be constantly on the go to
j furnish supplies; the expense of several hands on
' a farm ; a large number of horses and cattle con
j stantlv to teed and all the other expenses atten
j ding a gram-giowing farm with its vast amount
lof labor, make it in their opinion, highly ex-
I pedient and proper to keep what they now
| have rather than venture on untried experi
\ ments. An improvement, however, should be
' made ; a new house ought to be built for the
paupeis ; this can be done without much out
lav, and should be so arranged as to have a
place or department exclusively for the sick
and another place separately for the way-farers.
These places properly attended to and cleansed
as they should be, will relieve the rest of the
paupers from suffering, and the Steward from a
great deal of trouble and odium.
It is to be hoped also that the institution
will hereafter be kept Iroin all entangling alli
ances w.lh politics, and that an intelligent good
business man may be retained as Steward so long
as he behaves himself Well. The business must
be learned as well as every thing else.
An notiest man with some of the people's
funds could buy grain, grind it out and supply
the whole town of Bedford, m addition to doing
the grist work ; this should be done ; such a
use of the property would in a short time gieat
ly relieve the tax-payers.
rs.,...tin ov >rc., oftur a rsjreful ex
amination of the subject, the Commissioners
believing they had discretionary power under
the act of Assembly and appointment of the
Court, respectfully decline carrying out the
i provisions ot said act, under a conviction that
the people of the County would not be benefit
ed thereby.

life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostetter has in
troduced to this country a preparation bearing
his name, which is not a new medicine, but one
that has been tried for years, giving satisfac
tion to all who have used it. The Bitters
operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels,
and liver, restoring them to a healthy and
vigorous action, and thus, by the simple pro
cess of strengthening naturm enable the sys
tem to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nau
sea, Flatulency, Loss of .Appetite, or any Bilious
Complaints, arising from a morbid inaction
of the Stomach or Bowels, producing Cramps,
Dysentery, Colic, Cholera Morbus, &e., these
Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or fins, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally
by the change of water and diet, will be speedily
regulated by a brief use of litis preparation.
Dyspepsia, a disease which is probably more
prevalent, in all its various forms, than any
other, and the cause of which may always
be attributed to derangements of the digestive
organs, cau be cured without fail by using
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, as pet
directions on the bottle. For this disease every
physician will recommend Bitters of some kind;
then why not use an article known to be infal
lible ? All nations have their Bitters, as a pre
ventive of disease and strcngthencr of the sys
tem in general; and among them all there is
not to be found a more healthy people than
the Germans, from whom this preparation ema
nated, based upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove the value of this great#
preparation in the scale of medical science.
FEVER ANL> AS;lT.. —This trying and provok
ing disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on
the body of man, reducing hirn to a mere sha
llow in a short time, and rendering him phy
sically and mentally useless, can be driven
from the body by the use of HOSTETTER'S
RENOWNED BITTERS. Further, none of the
above-stated diseases can be contracted, even
in exposed situations, if the Bitters are used
as per directions. And as they neither create
nausea nor offend the palate, and render un
necessary any change of diet or interruption
Sf ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healthy digestion, the complaint is re
moved as speedily as is consistent with the pro
duction of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persons in Advanced Year*, who are
suffering from an enfeebled constitution and
infirm body, these Bitters ure invaluable as a
restorative of strength and vigor, and need
only be tried to be appreciated. And to a
mother while nursing these Bitters are indis
pensable, especially where the mother's nour
ishment is inadequate to the demands of the
child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart
temporary strength and vigor to the system.
Ladies should by all means try this remedy
for all cases of debility, and, before so doing,
should ask their physician, who, if he is
acquaint eel with the virtue of the Bitiers, will
recommend their use in all cases of weakness.
CAUTION.— Wo caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for IIOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS,
and see that each bottle has tho words " Dr. J.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters" blown on the side
of the bottle, and stamped on tho metallic cap
covering the cork, and observe that our autograph
signature is on the label.

MARK THESE FACTS!
THE D,
lloHoway's Ointment
vm
Bad Lei??, Bad Breasts, Sores and Ulcers.
All description of sores are remediable by th
proper and diligent use of this inestimable prepara
tion. 'l'o attempt to cure bad legs by plastering
the edges of the wound together is a lolly ; lor should
the skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains
underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few
days. The only rational and successful treatment,
as indicated be nature, is to reduce the iriilatnma
tion in and about the wound, and to soothe the
neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint
ment, as salt is forced into meat.
Dijilfieria. Ulcerated Sort Throaty and Scarlet
and other Fevers.
Any of the above diseases (may bejcure l[by well
rubbing the Ointment three times a day into tb<
chest, throat and neck of the patient; it will soon
penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine ta
ken by the mouth must operate upon the whole
system ere its influence can be felt many local part
whereas the Ointment will do its vvork at once.—•
Whoever tries the ungeunt in the above manner, fa
the diseases named, or any similar disorders aflec
ting the chest and throat, will find themselves re
lie veil as by a charm.
Piles, Fistulas, Strictures.
The above class of complaints will be removed
by nightly fomenting the parts with warm water,
arid then mo-t effectually rubbing in the Ointment.
Persons suffering from these direful complaints
lose not a moment in arresting their progress. It
should be understood that it is not sufficient mere
ly to smear thp Ointment on the affected parts, but
it must be well rubbed in for some considerable
time two or three times a day, that it may be ta
ken into the system, whence it will remove any
hidden sore or wound as effectually as though pal
pable to the eye. There again bread and water
poultices, aftei the rubbing in of the Ointment, will
do great service. This is the only Bure treatment
for females, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where
there may be a general bearing down.
Indiscretions of Youth :—Sores and Ulcers.
Blotches, a? alsoswellings, can, with certain
be radically cured if the Ointment be used freely
and the Pills be taken night and morning as iecorn
mended in the printed instructions. When treated
in any other war they only dry up in one place to
break ont in another; whereas this Ointment will
remove the humour from the system, and leave the
patient a vigorous and healthy being. It will re
quire time with the use of the Pills to ensure a las
ting cure.
Dropsical Swellings, Paralysis and Stiff
Joints.
Although the above complaints difler widely in
their origin and nature; yet they all require local
treatment. Many of the worst cases, of such dis
eases, will yield in comparatively short space of
time, when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into
the parts affected, even after every other means
have tailed. In all 6erious maladies the Pills should
be taken according to the printed directions accom
panying each box.
Both the Ointments and Pills should be used in
the following cases :
Fistulas,
Gout,
Glandular Swellings,
Lumbago,
Rheumatism,
Scalds,
Sore Nipples,
Sore-throats,
