REPORT OF W. M. HALL IN THE
POOR HOUSE MATTER.—We give be
low the report of W. M. Hall, Esq.,
appointed by the Court, auditor to
take testimony, find the fads and
make report, Ac. It will be seen that
the facts as found by the Auditor,
are unfavorable to the retention of the
Mill by the County, though the ex
amination into the affairs of the Mill
was confined to the period anterior to
1860. Our information is that the Mill
lias made a handsome return to the
County since 1860. The order of the j
Court, which we append, and which j
was made after. Mr. Hall's report was,
tiled, disapproves the proposed sale 1
of the Poor House property, but ap- '
proves the proposed erection of a new
Poor House.
To the Honorable the Judges of (he j
( ourt of Quarter -Sessions of Bedford I
ibuntg, at April Sessions, 1868.
The report of William Maclay Hall,
auditor, pro lit certificate of appoint i
ment hereto attached, to take testimo
ny, find the facts, and make report,
Ac., in the matter of the recommenda
tion of the Directors of the Poor and of
the House of employment of Bedford j
County in regard to the erection of a ;
new Poor House, arid the sale of the
present Poor House property, respect- i
fully represents:
That having been first duly sworn to
perform the duties of his appointment
with fidelity, and having given notice I
of the timeand place of hearing by pub- ;
lieation in both news-papers publish- j
oil in Bedford he proceeded to take testi
mony, full notes of which are hereto at- ,
taehed. And your auditor reports the
following facts as deduced from and
sustained by the testimony :
First. That the buildings on the pre
sent property are not at all suitable for !
the proper maintaining and employ
ment of the Poor. That the building
known as the poor house is entirely
too small; of inconvenient arrange
ment ; illy ventilated ; with no means
of keeping the sexes separate; no ar
rangement for heating except stoves;
no proper place for keeping a patient
with contagious disease; no proper
place for insane persons; no running
water in the building, nor water clos
ets; and that there is an imperative
necessity for the erection of a building
in which the defects above enumerated
would be remedied.
Second. That there is an open space
between the Steward's house and the
poor house, which is about 1 •>< 1 feet
long, 80 feet wide, from the turnpike
to the race, which would be suitable
for the erection of a proper poor house,
that the mill race is an admirable sew
er for carrying off all offensive mat
ter; that the old building could be re
tained and used to advantage for way
farers; that the spring at the foot of
the mountain, which now suppliw* the
property with water, is ample and nev
er-failing, and can be carried in pipes |
to the top of a three storied house; in
short that there is no better location as
to water and sewerage to be found any
where.
Third. That your auditor has exam
ined with some care the accounts,
check-books, and auditors' reports of
the Poor House from 1843 to 1860, in
clusive ; that the remainder, from 1861
to 1868, were not examined for want of
time; that theinannerofkeepingtheac
counts, checks and reports for the said j
years, is neither business-like noraccur- ;
ate; that there are great obscurities and
opportunities forei rors,and some things
which look very much like errors;
that no prudent man would manage
his business or keep bis books as the j
business and books of the Poor House i
Mill have been managed and kept;
that, as per statement hereto attached,
the receipts of the mill over the expen
ditures from Dec. 2, 1842, to Jan. 1,
1861 amounts to &>44.56, being 830.27
per annum, and that in fact if all the
expenditures for the mill, race, dam
and miller's house, and in managing
and carrying on the business of the
mill and the bad debts made for mill 1
products, could be arrived at with pre
cision, the expenditures of tlie mill
during said period have exceeded the j
receipts probably by a considerable a
mount.
Fourth. That the mill and miller's
house, with about two acres adjacent,
including the upper garden and ground
enough to make a basin to bold a sup
ply of water, could be sold for from
eight to twelve thousand dollars.
Fifth. That the Poor House farm
contains 020 acres, most' of which is
mountain land.* That, apart from the
mill, this would seli for from four to
six thousand dollars ; that except a
good garden of an acre or two and a
tolerably good meadow of about
twenty acres, there is about forty acres of
cold and wet second-class farm land,
and the remainder is mountain pas
ture and timber, mostof it of very lit
tle value.
Sixth. That certain persons have of
fered for sale farms, as per offers here
to attached, as follows:
Ist. The property of John, Samuel
and Daniel Snyder, situate in Snake
spring township, containing 173 acres
and allowance of 6 per cent., and adjoin
ing lands of W. Forney, Michael Ware
ham, Andrew Snowberger, John Sny
der and Michaels. Ritchey.
This tract is offered at the sum of
sixty dollars per acre in payments, and
is reported to possess a never failing
stream of water which can be carried
to any part of the building.
-Second. The property of John Ha
for, situate in Bedford township, con
taining 160 acres more or less, and ad
joining lands of Win. Smith, tlie Iloli
daysburg turnpike on the East, lands
of Samuel Biehl, David Points, Charles
Stuckey, and Ezra Williamson.
This property is offered for the sum of
seven thousand dollars, and is reported
to possess only fifteen acres of "unclear
ed land, to he all tillable, to contain a
good orchard; limestone and brick
clay for building purposes, and an ex
cellent quality of water which may he
carried at the different building sites
to an elevation averaging from 14 to 36
-feet.
Third. The property of Jerry Shea,
situate in Shover's Valley, Cumberland
Valley township, containing about 166
acres, 7 b acres of which is cleared. Is
well watered.
This tract is offered for thesumofone
thousand five hundred dollars in pay
ments with interest, and is reported to
he principally limestone, and to possess
J." acres of meadow.
Serenth. That there have been three
new mills, to wit: Hartleys' steam mill,
Dickon's mill, in Bedford township,
and G. Blackburn's mill inSnakeSping
township,which havebeenerected with
in theeustomofthe Poor House mill,so
that the custom work of the said mill
is not sufficient to keep it going, and in
order tocarry on said mill, it is necess
ary to buy grain and use a capital of a
i bout four thousand dollars, and that
■ the business is attended with risk, and
is illy suited for the management of the
Pobr Directors and their Steward.
All of which is respectfully submit
-1 ted. W. M. IIALL, Auditor.
The following is the order of the
| Court directing the building of a new
Poor House.
And now, to wit: May 2, 1868, the
Court upon hearing and due consider
ation approve so much of the report of
I the Grand Jury as recommends the e
rectionof a new poor house for the pur
poseofcomfortably shelteringand main
taining poor, sick and insane persons, re
quired by the law to be supported by the
county—and disapprove of that part
of said report which recommends the
j sale of farm and property on which
the present poor house now stands.
By the Court.
POOR HOUSE MILE RECEIPTS.—The
j Inquirer , of last week, gives an exhibit
of the receipts, Ac., of the Poor House
! Mill, from 1813 to 1860, with a view of
. showing that that institution does not
pay. The public would prefer to know
how the Mill lias paid from 1860 until
' the present, and how it pays now. We
have always inclined to the belief that
it would he better for the county if the
present Poor House property were sold
; and a good farm purchased some three
or four miles from this place, upon
which to erect the proper buildings.
But the Court has decreed that there
shall be no sale, and we how in hum
ble.submission. We presume the Court
was satisfied that the Mill makes a fair
return, at present, else it would have
directed the sale. According to Mr.
Hall's report, the Mill is worth more
than all the remainder of the Poor
House property.
DEATH OF DR. W. H. WATSON.—It
becomes our melancholy duty to an
nounce the death of Dr. W. 11. Watson,
which occurred at his residence in this
place, at 7 o'clock, this (Wednesday)
morning. A good and true man has
been taken from our midst. How we
shall miss him ! His courteous, affable
manner, his words of friendly greeting
for every one, his readiness to attend
upon the amicted, whether rich or
poor, his faithfulness and gentleness,
his great professional skill,—alas! we
shall know them no more forever. It
is only left us to say the everlasting
farewell.
DEATH OF MRS. W. P. SCHELL.—
We are pained to record the eatli of
the estimable wife of our neighbor and
friend, Hon. W. P. Schell, which oc
curred on Friday morning last, after
a lingering and painful illness. Such
is life and such is death! Truly, we
know not "the hour when the Son of
Man cometh."
COOL WEATHER.—TruIy, "Winter
lingers in the lap of Spring." Here we
are, in the closing days of the month
of flowers, and hail storms and gusts of
cold rain are the order of the time.
Jack Frost is hanging on the verge of
the Allegheuies and threatens us night
ly with his icy spear. The Clerk of
the weather must be in collusion with
Ben. Butler in keeping back the "ap
ple-blossoms" until "Wade and pros
perity shall come."
SOLDIER'S DISCHARGES. —We see
that by an Act of Assembly, Soldier's
discharges shall he recorded free of tax.
The future value of these papers to
their holders, should make it an object
to have them on record at once. Boun
ty lands, pensions, Ac., that most likely
will be granted hereafter, can be ob
tained on these records when witnesses
have died and the original papers have
been lost or mislaid.— lnquirer.
IMPEACHMENT.— Great excitement
has been caused by the Impeachment
question, in regard to the eleven arti
cles, but more than a dozen of differ
ent articles in the way of Linen and
Paper Collars, Cuffs, Ac., just received
at Irvine's, have stirred up a wonder
ful commotion. Sleeve Buttons, La
dies' and Gents', in great variety, at
Irvine's Regulator. Ladies' paper
collars (perfect imitation of honilon
lace) and cuffs, at the same place.—
Dickens Collars, latest styles, at the
Regulator, going off rapidly. Now
is your time. Don't wait till they are
all gone.
CoXNEI.LSVILI.E RAILROAD. — At U
meeting of the stockholders of the
Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad
Company held at Pittsburg last week,
it was agreed to accept the ordinance
passed by the Baltimore councils, au
thorizing "the removal and extension
of the mortgage due the city of Balti
more by the Pittsburg and Connells
ville Railroad Company, and to fund
arrears of interest due thereby," to
gether with the supplement theroto.
IT is not probable that Absalom was
obliged to use any hair preparation to
force his hair to grow to such an ex
treme length as it is said to have at
| tained. In our day, however, people
quite frequently find it neceessary to
, call scientific skill to aid them in this
I respect. Such will find their every
wish supplied in "Barrett's Vegetable
