Ia compliance With the proVIS-
f th. fit'ih nwtinn of the Art 01
1 Ann
Assemblv approved loth April. 1S45,
providing f.trtheertioa of ft House
of Em ploy meat, and tiie support of
HIS ui " " "
the poor of eaid countr, the unaer
izned Directors of thft Poor and
Houcf! of EmploTuopnt of Faid coun
ty, heresvitti respeclfally submit and
lay before vou their report for the
year 1S"55, o'f the " Number, a2e and
'sex of the jiersan inaintained and
"etnplovei in eaid House of Euv
" ii'.oymVnt, or supported or assisted
"by tbeia elsewhere, and of the
" ciiiidff.i by them bound out to
"apprenticeship, with the names of
"their mar-tern and mistresses, and
" their trades, occupations, and call- i
- in?." . !
Tnis. it is believed, is the yinrf
vnorf made under the said Act. and
owing to the lack of precedent and
data, and to the imperfect manner
in which the records of the said in-
Btitution were kent for many years,
a irreat deal of trouble and difficulty
was experienced in preparing the
rennrt. eHueciallv m procuring the
dates of admission and ajjesofthe
persons supported Br assisted, and
in many cases it was itu possible to
ascertain the day and month when
thev were admitted or asMstn, ana
in a larue number of casks the ages
are only approximate'!.
Witt this report as a basis, how
ever, and wiih such improvements
thereon a tims and experience will
necearilv indicate, future annual
reports can be prepared with much
less trouble, and treat r accuracy.
Besides the intormsiion required by
th Act. the board have furnished
herewith, under suitable heading!
the dates of admission and discharge
of the inmates, the residence of those
assisted, and of the masters and mis
tresses of children apprenticed, and
the amounts pui 1 for maintenance
when elsewhere than in the HoUae
of Employment, and other items,
deemed to be of interest to the pub
lic. The lists contemrl ited hy the Act
are hereto attached in separate
schedules, with explanatory head
lines and headings, and a summa
ry of the-e schedules will b'3 found
at the end of this report, in which
will also be found a schedule ob
taining the numhtT and aiuouijt ol
the sales, purchases, donations, de
vises or bequests, which were made
by or to the board during the year
1SS.3.

A Pretty Girl Tblef Taker.
Cincinnati, Feb. 3. William
Gorman, a desperate ex-convict and
thief, was on trial ia tbe police court
to-day for attempting to steal io a
house on Main Street. MUs Amelia
Hagerman, a very pretty young
woman, testified that she met him
in the hallway; that be retreated
and she followed him into the street
and caugbt him by the collar. He
struggled, but she held him till belp
came. Her pluck surprised tbe
Judge, who asked her; "Did you ac
tuiliy seirt this tbief and hold him ?"
"Yes, sir, I caugbt him by the col
lar with both hands," was the reply,
delivered very coolly. Gorman re
ceived a very heavy workhouse sen
tence. By accident a man swallows a poi
son. How frightened he is. 'Iiow
the homo antidotes are sent down
after it, and in what glowing terms
tbe luesniger hurries along the doc
tor. Yet hosts of excellent people
are elowly dying of poisonous ele
merits in their blood. Tbe liver
should have removed these, but it
is weak and diseased, and so fails of
its duty. Do you understand this
fact? If so, you will be glad to learn
that Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Reme
dy cures liver complaint.
The Rev. Geo. H. Thayer, of
Boiirbon, Ind., says : "Both myself
and wife owe our lives to Shiloh's
Consumption Cure." Sold by
G. W. Besford tfc'Sox.
Many suffering people drag them
selves about with falling strength,
feeling that they are steadily sinking
into the grave, when by using Par
ker's Tonic they would find a cure
commencing with the fir-t dose, and
vitality ai.d strength surely coming
back to them.
For Dyspepsia and Liver Com
pliint, you have a printed uuara.n
tee on every bottle of Shiloh's Vi'al
izer. It never fails to cure.
(. W. Benford & Son.
To restore sene of tatite, emeil or
hearing use Ely's Cream Balm. It
cures nil i a-es of Catarrh, Hay Fe
ver, Colds in the Head, Headache
and Deatnejiss. It is doing wonder
ful work. Do not fail to procure a
bottle, as in it lies the relief you
seek. It is easily applied with the

V'italizer is a positive cure.

As an article for the toilet, Ayer's
Hair Vigor stands unrivalled. It
cleanses the scalp and preserves it
from scurf and dandruff, cures itch

on her way to Pittsburgh. Eich
9eat contained two persons except
one to the left near the centre, and
here s it a Cliinatu in from Dubois.
He lounged in toward the window,
and the lady sat down. The wa-ihee-woshee
m:tn beg.m, Bellee cold."
No reply from his companion. Again
a little louder he remarked, " Bell"e
cold." With a withering look that
ought to squelch any heathen, the
lady said : ' If you would wear
your shirt inside of your pants like
a christian man, your belly wouldn't
get so cold."
Thousands of able men fail in life
fir purely physical reasons. They
are not torpid, but their liver is, and
the livar blocks the way. They are
billious, yellow skinned, headachy
and miserable, all because that great
gland declines to do its work. The
medicine that can restore to this or
gan its natural power will add one
hundred per cent, to the available
force of this world. We know of
but one thing able to do this Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
Why will yob cough when Shi
loh's Core will give immediate relief.
Price 10 cents, 50 cents, and $1.

I had to comb buck the hair from
my forehead and omit the parting to
concetti my haldnets. Since then
Parker's Hair Balsam has made my
hair as thick and glossy us ever. La

find the Balsam just splendid.

Wagon wants to be seen to be fully appreciated, and parties wishing to
