I declined - to blcome.a party to the con tract for the -purchase'of his farm, for the following reasons : First--The•quantity of lamletnbraced in the contract is - 271 acres. I believe that quantity is Unnecessarily large ; and 'that 150 or 200 acres of suitable land a great abundance pr a poor house iu this county. . .

Fourth—The buildings are old and un tenable in their psent " eoridition, for tU care of the Poor; and being separated by a public highway, they Cannot be, conveni ently united ; and being situated in a k thicly settled neighborhood; their loca tion is tion is bad. - - • Fifth—By, the terms of the contract which I declined. to sign the County . is 'obliged to keep that part of, the Mill-race in repair for all time, which crosses the land proposed to buy' In reply to your luestions concerning .khe condition of the land' . and. fences ; I. will say, they are , iu a fair conditicin.for of nary farmingpurposes. ih I have thus complied with your request, and gwen you in brief the reasons - which induced my refusal to become*a party to ttie\purOase R e . this . property. .

We believed that, hay. ing acted according to our best judgment in the selection oea poor house farm, and that:selection having been submitted to the people ofthe county for ratification, it was becoming in us to permit the selec tion to succeed Oc fail, according. as its merits should bb estimated, to submit in silence to public criticism, and -to refrain from using any means whatever to influ ence the public choice. When, hoWever, ourtlincluct as -a ma-. jority of a board public officers is arraign ed one of:our number ..in the public press,.untler the pretext of fui nishing in formation to the public, 'and when the pretext is further employed as the vehi cle of misrePresentation, we believe it is not only proper, batour duty to ourselves and to the people whom we serve to de clare fully the truth of the matter and to give the reasons which have actuated us, even tholtgli_such a defense involves the discussion of a nnestion upon which it. would otherwise be proper ,to remain silent. • Soon after the passage of the act of the Bth of May, l874l; and its supplement, we became convinced that was our duty to' proce'ed with all proper speed . to tlo se lection of apiece of land for poor house purposes, and while deliberating upon the question, we were , repeatedly urged by in- lluential citizens of all political patties, and fronfall parts of the county, won ions considerations of humanity Lice to our poor, and of economy constituents, to make a phoice. ieved from these evidences, that: , ws Were in harmony with a major-. ~tyot tax-i avers, and we examined and rejeted quirk a number of-farms. . • The 2ll}er farm was linally..mlled to our notice, not, by Mr. Myer, nor by any of his personator \ political friends, but by a prominent Democrat 'of the county, and, as lii. Baldwin Was in harmony With us ,up to this pole; (ant Chow much 'farther it will hereafter apPear,') we determined to visit the proPerty. \This we did on the 21st day of July last, Art • CoinpanY with Mr: Baldwin, and we theno met Mr. Myer and Mr: C. M.'Manville, bicissignee. We examined \ the premises and afterwards had a consultation, Mr. It-being present, itimbich the price of fifty-dollars pernere Was spoken of, and in Which no ottiection _ Tun POOR SOUSE FAUN. , A' it.

Baldwin was detained at home tn by illness, or by his pri vate es ate :-visited' Towanda in , that interval but. once to par -koowledge. As it Was 'necessary to Otesent - the con tract to court, -we had.proe ceded to com plete it hi Mr.''Baldwie'Sabseriee; and on the first day Ot Court, (Monday), it was presented to hint for his 'signature.: He made no objection to • the - terms •Of the contract: It was not until the next day that we learned, ot. his - opPositon to-sthe purchase. • Ho never has mentioned :to • us' the ob jections which he urges in his letter, - and these we will now notice in detail. They are as follows: (See Mr. Baldwin's letter.) 1. Upon the first objection there is a difference of opinion between us. Webs, lieve the.expense of „the counties where poor houses- exist shows' that _ where large farms are occupied, the annual ex pense'per capita of maintaining the peer is less than where. the farms are-small The principal item of expense in the man agement of a farm is.:the salary Of the steward, and the Superietendence of a small farm costs as much as that of a larger one: - . : • 2. The second objection is incorrect in pOint of fact. The laud spoken of adjoins the other, it is east instead of south of the Wysox reek, and it is reached by a road which forms a part Of the eastern bound ary of the property which .road reaches the land in question at a distance. of but little over a mile. 'The laud - has" uponit, timber which will be valuable in the con struction and improvement of building's on the premises, it 'affords a- supply of woods; much of it, is easily cleared, and at least 85acres of it will be susee - ptible of Cultivation and valuable for grain or pas turage. - In purchasing the property we were at liberty to choose such portions of the laud as we desired. We considered this por tion at the:valuation fixed upon it rela tively to the other portions of the premis es, to bo very desirable, and we consider ed that vie were acting according' to the . obvious inthrest of the county in including it in the ,purchase. 3. One hundred and -seventy-five , acres of the farm in question are improved, and imrnediAely.available for the poor louse purposes. That but one hundred acres are so available 4 and that not more than fifteen acres are adapted to pauper labor, ,are grass and _palpable mis-statements, 4. That level road is such au obstacle to the .moving of buildings. that they can net b*Onveniently united, we first hea.d . ' when 'we read Mr. Baldwin's letter. But as there will be no necessity for the mov ing of the buildings, that can he no objec tion. We consider }t preferable-that some, of the buildings:should he isolated • from the main ones, for in that manner some Of-the poor, children for example, could -be-kept separate_for_the other-inmates of the iustifution. ~ The building are' not' untenable, and they are all, withthe ex ' eption of one- tenant liense, in a good state of preservation. We see no reason,' an..: nine is.specitled by Mr. Baldwin, why the situation in the hamlet of Myershurg is objectionable. 5. In the original-draft of the contract, now in-the posession of Messrs. Davies Carticklian, a clan was inserted at the request of Mr. Myer, providing that the owner of the mills below should have tee . privilege of entering upon the prem ises for the purpose of repairing that part of the race Truing through the. property proposed to be purchased. But being _convinced that the expense of keeping the, race in repair was merely nominal, and `that it would not exceed on the average five dollars per annum, we,deereed it ad= visa ble to change the contract, and did so motel. the advice of counsel, believing it better that the county should 'keep the race in' "repair, than that strangers should have the privilege et entering the premis es at pleasure for that pitime. The race spoken of is simply a ditch - flora Pair to sii fcet'in width; and- about three feet deep. - Wo aro-satisfied of the adaptability of the propcfty for poor hotie.purposes, and we believe it possesses rare advintage. The privilege of the use of water from 4 natural and unfailing reservoir for the of: Binary purposes of .lhe institution as well as for p?otectien against tiro by the, use of Eire plugs, and as . a power for . running Machinery, is one that cannot 'he lightly estimated.
