In the foregoing table. Wheat is put down at $1;
Kye, Corn and Buckwheat at 50 cts.; pork 5 cts.;
beef 4'y, lard 10; tallow 10, and garden vegetables
at a fair average price. The column containing
expenses of Poor House, over and above net pro
ceeds of mill and farm, as paid out exhibits $2,103
74; the last column, containing taxes collected
each year, exhibits an average of $3,180 89, show
ing a difference of $1,076,05: this difference is ac
counted for in the consumption of beef, pork, gar
den vegetables, &c., not put down In the column
of expenses, not being paid out, but connted 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 average cost of each pau
per per head, as above, makes the average cost of
each one per week, for the last ten years, $1 71.
This includes all expenses of Poor House, embra
cing Steward's salary, his family, Physician's sala
ry, Directors, Clerks, <£c. From a thorough and
rigid investigation of every Treasurer's and Stew
ard's report, which involved an examination of ev
ery single item in each one for ten years, nothing
was detected but a fair and full statement of in
come and outlay. Some bills wore allowed occa
sionally, which looked extravagant, but they would
not have been paid without checks being granted
by the Directors. There is some room for econo
mizing, hut the secret of so much tax and expensa
is the unavoidable cost of a very large family, of
say, 60 persons, (including Steward and family) to
le fed and clollicd all the time; following in its
train, physicians' hills, medicines, burial expenses,
Clerks, Directors, Justices, making out warrants,
Constable's fees for bringing paupers, Nc., <se.
These latter things make up a large hill of items
each year, which are not seen, but felt.
The mill and farm taken together, exhibit au as
tonishing result. No real estate property in the
County pays like it. The mill is a source of steady
income, yielding as much as most farms alone, al
ter paying all its expenses, whilst the farm and
garden are still more astonishing in their results
It is not a grain-growing farm, but with a large
meadow, and its yield of corn, with work done
principally by the Steward and paupers, the net in
come is large, and the garden still larger. From
2,5(H) to 3,000 beads of cabbaee, 200 and 300 doz.
cucumbers are the annual yield of the garden, in
cluding beets, parsnips, beans, <£c.. in proportion.
The best thing about it is, the work 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 he
made from the Reports. From the mixed manner
in which some are made out, it was impossible to
get items separated so as to get them exactly un
der the proper heading. It is suggested, hereafter,
that, for ready information, and a clear exhibit of
facts, the Treasurer and Steward keep their ac
counts, and make out their reports showing the in
come of the Mill in one column, the expenses in
another, and the same with regard to the Farm and
Poor House proper. They ere three separate con
cerns, and the Recounts should be kept so.
The varied amount of expenses in different years
is accounted for from the fact that more checks
were lifted in some years than others. The first
three of the above ten, shows the average cost of
paupers small; the next column of receipts by the
Treasurer explains it in the amount of taxes re
ceived, and consequently the small amount paid out.
Too loose a practice has prevailed iri allowing
exonerations to Collectors; a more rigid rulewould
save tbo honest willing taxpayers a Jatge amount.
Collectors, if allowed, get in the habit of putting
everybody on the scape list who don't pay when
asked; this practice has been a source of consider
able burthen to tne taxpayers within ten years.—
Collectors should bear in mind that no man can

plead the three hundred dollar law against taxes, I
and tliis rule enforced, will leave very few in Bed- I
ford County unable to contribute their mite to the
support of ihe poor.
The yield of 12| per cent, on the investment at
original cost, may probably admit of a small de
duithn, lut very little. Under no circumstances
could it pit 111< w 10. The board of Commission
ers appointed to si ll the property and buy another,
kc., are satisfied that such a change would be use- I
less and unwise. The objection to the property be- j
icg or the turnpike is no objection, when it is ta
ken into consideration that the wayfaring popula
tion must be supported anyhow, it will not do to
let them starve. The Poor House is made for the
poor, and the whole people ot the County m3y as
well keep them as those who live along the road;
the taxpayers along the turnpike have, as it is,
more than their share ol beggars. Besides this, if
the Institution were eight or ten miles, or three or
four miles from town, on a farm, a great many way
farers would resort to it at all events, the physi
cian would have to ride further, and charge more;
the paupers' clothing would have to he hauled and
carried to them; the Grand Jury would have to
visit thtru at a big expense; a Steward and a hand
or two would have to he constantly on the go to
furnish supplies; the expense of several hands up
on a farm; a large number of horses and cattle
constantly to feed, and all the other expenses at
tending a grain-growing farm with its vast amount
of labor, make it, in their opinion, highly expedi
ent and proper to keep what fhey now have, rather
than ventureon untried experiments. An improve
ment, however, should be made: a new house
ought to be built for the paupers; this can be done
without much outlay, and should be so arranged as
to have a place or apartment exclusively for the
sick, and another place separately for the way
farer. These places properly attended to, and
cieansed as they should be, will relieve the rest of
the paupeis from suffering, and the Steward from a
great deal of trouble and odium.
It is to be hoped also that the Institution will
hereafter lie kept from all entangling alliances with
polities, and that an intelligent and good business
man may be retained as Steward, so long as he be
haves himself well. The business must be learned
as well as everything else.
An honest man, with sorao of the people's funds,
could buy grain, grind it out, and supply the whole
town of Bedford, in additiou to doing the grist
work, this should he done. Such a use of the
property would, in a short time, greatly relieve the
taxpayers.
Entertaining these views, after a careful exami
nation of the subject, the Commissioners, believing
they bad discretionary power, under the Act of
Assembly, and appointment of the Court, respect
fully decline carrying out the provisions of said Act,
under a conviction that the people of the County,
would not be benefitted thereby.

nearly eight months, notwithstanding which, his
hp, ncse, ar.d a portion of his left ckeik uere entirely
