W. M. HALL'S SUPPLEMENTARY
REPORT ON THE POOR HOUSE PROP
ERTY.—Some time ago the Poor Direc
tors recommended the sale of the
House property, including the mill.
W. M. Hall, Esq., was appointed au
ditor to take testimony, find facts, Ac:
His former report on the receipts and
expenditures of the mill, which we
published at the time, extended only
to the year 1861, and the Court ordered
that he should continue his examina
tion so as to bring it down to the pres
ent year. His supplementary report,
embracing that period, we lay before
i our readrs to-day.
To the Honorable Judges of the Court
of Quarter Sessions of Bedford county,
at an adjourned Session, June 1 Oth,
1868.
The supplemental report of William
M. Hall, auditor to take testimony,
find the facts, and make report, Ac.,
in the matter of the recommendation
of the Directors of the Poor and of the
House of Employment of Bedford
county, in regard to the erection of a
new poor house, and the sale of the
present poor house property, as fol
lows :
That your auditor has, since his for
mer report, examined with care the ac
counts, checks, books and Auditor's
reports of the poor house from 1861 to
1867, and that he finds the receipts and
expenditures of the mill to be its fol
lows for the said years, to wit:
Nett receipts of mill for 1861 $58.18
." " " " " 13862 339.06
" " " 1363 233.13
" " " " " 11861 927.12
" " " " " 1865 692.30
" " " " " 1866 1184.50
" " " " " " 1867 1409.44
This brings the business of the mill up
to the time of the last Auditors' settle
ment, to wit, the Ist of January, 1868.
Statements in detail of the receipts and
expenditures of each year are hereto
attached.
Your Auditor desires to notice the
candor, frankne-s and courtesy, of
Mr. Samuel Defibaugh, the Stewart,
and of Mr. J. E. Wills, the miller, and
also the manifest honesty, ability and
zeal, with which the business of the
mill has been conducted by them. Mr.
Defibaugh purchased and hauled to the
mill during last year, two thousand
and thirty-four bushels of wheat, be
sides rye, the toll and offals from which
made over $890; so that, but for that,
the mill would not have netted more
than S6OO. Mr. Wills has been the
the miller from the Ist of January 18-
63. The average nett receipts of the
mill during the five years for which
he has been miller, is $869.29 per an
num.
The average nett receipts of the mill
per annum from Dec. 2d., 1842, to Ist
of January 1868, a period of 25 years,
has been $211.55. No doubt this would
be diminished somewhat, if all the ex
penditures for the mill could be arriv
ed at with precision. All of which
is respectfully submitted.
W. M. HALL,
Auditor.
P. S. Your auditor would respect
fully suggest, that if the mill property
is retained, it would greatly conduce
to a satisfactory examination and ex
hibit of its affairs, if all the receipts
and expenditures of the mill were kept
separate from the other poor house ac
count, and if a minute annual state
ment of all the expenditures for the
mill, including toll and team to haul
grain to mill, and printing mill state
ment, and time of Stewart and Direc
tors in regard to mill business, &e.,
Ac., were published.
W. M. HALL,
Auditor.
SEVERE STORM. —The western end
of this county was visited, one day last
week, by one of the severest storms of
rain and hail ever known in that re
gion. Two buildings in the town of
Schellsburg were struck by lightning
and damaged. In one house the light
ning deeended the chimney and knock
ed an iron pot from the stove, leaving
the inmates unharmed. Some half a
dozen persons in different parts of the
town, were knocked down by the
electric fluid, yet miraculously escaped
without any serious injury. We learn
that some of the grain fields have been
cut to pieces by the hail.

own a Gum Roller Drill, and that our
farmers are safe in buying from Hart

very best farm machines to be found

THERE are two special qualities which
determine and fix the superiority of
Mrs. S. A. A LLEN'S new style imprrov
edkair restorer or dressing, in one bot
tle,* over all other preparations for the
hair. First, the prompt, quick action,
great growth, iile and vigor that it is
sure to give to the hair, never failing,
by a few applications, to restore Grey
or white hair to its natural color, im
parting to the Hair a Delightful aro
ma, fresh, delicate, and unchangeable
in any climate. Second, its easy ap
plication without any previous prepar
ation of the Hair ; without that sticky
and disagreeable sulphur odor found
and complained of in all other prepar
ations. It never soils the skin or linen.
Ladies will find it a standard Toilet
luxury to dress their hair ; it retains
the Hair in any desired position, and is
cooling, healing, and cleansing to the
Scalp, removing immediately all scurf,
dandruff, and pimples. Price one dol

SPECIAL NOTICES.
•
REASONS WHY.
We are enabled to offer superior inducements to
purchasers of clothing, to which your attention
is respectfully invited.
We have a business experience of more than 25
years, have been longer established than any
house in our trade in Philadelphia.
We employ sufficient capital to make ALL PUR
CHASES FOR CASH, which, together with the
fact that our large business enables us to buy in
large amounts in first hands, thereby saving all
profits of jobbers and middlemen, give us ad
vantages in purchasing at the lowest rates,
SHARED BV NO HOUSE IN OUR TRADE.
We sell only for cash and having no losses from bad
debts to provide for, the paying customer is not
TAXED TO HELP PAV THE DEBT OF ANOTHER WHO
does not pay, as is inevitably the case in a busi
ness where credit is given.
We employ the best talent in all departments,
which, with long experience, enable us to man
ufacture garments SUPERIOR IN EVERY RES
PECT — equalled by few —surpassed by none.
We have the largest establishment for the manu
facture and sale of clothing in Philadelphia,
extending through from 518 Market street to
511 Minor street, occupied exclusively by our
selves, also a branch store at 600 Broadway,
New York, and keep at all times of
MEN S, YOUTH'S and BOYS' KEADY-MADE
CLOTHING, the largest stock and best assort
ment in the city, from which any person can be
accurately fitted at once, as well, or better, than
by garments made to order, our large stock
comprising every size of all styles of goods.
We have recently added to our previous stock a
full assortment of
CHILDREN'S GARIBALDI AND OTHER
SUITS, equal to any in the cily in style, trim
ming, and make; which are sold at lower pri
ces than have hitherto been known in Phila
delphia. They, with all our Boys' and Youth's
goods, are kept on the first floor, nearest the
front, convenient for ladies. We have also re
cently opened on our SECOND FLOOR A
CUSTOM DEPARTMENT for the display of a
choice selection of Foreign and Domestic Fa
brics in the piece, which will be MADE UP TO OR
DER, in the best style, by competent and skill
ful cutters and workmen. The advantage of
dealing with a CASH HOUSE will be especially
apparent in this department, upon a compari
son of prices.
We guarantee our prices lower than the lowest
elsewhere and also guarantee full satisfaction to
every purchaser, and request, that should any
cause of dissatisfaction exist with a purchase
made, it may be reported to us, pledging our
selves, by exchange, refunding of money, or oth
erwise, to give full satisfaction in every case.
(Samples and prices sent by mail when desired.)
An examination of our stock respectfully re
quested and your patronage, if the above state
ment of facts be satisfactorily demonstrated.
