We regret to report the death of two of the
officers of the Prison during the year: Dr. John

M. Musser, a member of the Board of Inspec
tors.
Dr. Huber was a faithful and energetic offiger,
bringing to the discharge of his duties the
varied experience gained in the practice of his
profession not only ut home but in the army
during the rebellion.
Mr. Musser by his urbanity of manner and the
constant, intemit felt in everrthing which pro
moted the welfare of the Prison, was wollg
uali
fled for the position made vacant by his un
timely death.
All of which is respectfully subionitted.
