In presenting this report for the year
ISisO, we are more and more reminded
of the weakness of the htim tn race, and
the dependent condition of many upon
others each succeeding year bring to oar
notice new cases of unfortunate persons
w ho have been brought down to poverty
and destitution some through their
own vice:) ar. l mismanagement, while
many others are reduced by man's inhu
manity to man, and the inheritance of
the ilia a"d weakness of the flesh, as
well as the slovenly and indifferent hab
its of their ancestors, and are subjects not
only if pity, but of the care of the public.
F.aeh year the provisions made for the
support of the poor ia to be more highly
com ii, ended, and the w isdom of our fa
thers in framing the laws making auch
ample provisions for the poor ia greatly
to be admired and appreciated, while the
aim of tlie prese nt shouid be to more per
fect the M-stf-:n of caring for the unfortu
nate in 1'fe. While there has been a
great improvement in the management
of the Home, yet we do not claim per
fection, and invite the counsel and sug
gestions of the public M to the bel.er
management and makirg the condition
of the inmates more comfortable, w ith
but a 8ui!iii expense to the county.
We were much plfaeed at the increaj-e
of visits: f io:n citizens of the county dur
ing the year to the Home, and their ex
pressions of sympathy and kind com
ments in regard to the condition and
management of it.
The snestions made by the Board of
Public (.'haritiesand their representatives
on their annual visits were kindly receiv
ed and are being acted upon. Ail are in
tertted intthe poor, for "these you have
w ith you always," and all rejoice that the
citins of the njunty have provided so
well for their support.
Much is due for the snccessful manage
ment of the Home to the present steward
and matron : their untiring energy and
great interest f-how n in every department,
and have a-lde J many new features and
comforts to the inmates.
In the retirement of Mr. Fike as a di
rector the remaining members of the
board disire to say that he was an effi
cient officer, who lrsoked after the inter
ests of the Home and the comforts of the
po.,r. aa tn as the interests of the taii

Arrangements have been made to place
a steam apparatus ia the house to heat

mediations of the Grand Jury.
The use of the old frame asylum build

cases, and will be replaced by a new

Tlie stock on the farm is in fine order.
The entire sapply of milk, cream and
butter has been famished, while much of
the beef and all Ihe pari have been raised.
A nuuiivr of short horn bulls and sheep

They should have

proper treatment.
Ol'T-DOOR RELIEF.
Tlie out-door relief ii the most perplex
ing inestion the Directors have to deal
with. There have been times when the
county has been greatly imposed upon,
and other times, perhaps, when relief
was refused when it should have been
granted. t
The relief granted to various persons
in the county was only a few hundred
dollars less than that granted by the Di
rectors of the Poor of Allegheny county,
with ten times a greater population. We
have tried to do what as ri.'ht to a'.l
parties in granting r?lief. Mjay were
refu'ed w ho applied while gome are de
serving of relief w bo have not applied.
Idleness is akin tn poverty, and from this
class more frf,uently comes the cull for
relief. Relief asked for on account of
sickness or death is aiwa.vs granted.
Many ap:ly and freely take relief, bi:t
when asked to come to the Home they
refuse ; this is a mistake.
Many of the people of the county do
not have half the co jifotts at their homes
that the inmates of the Poor House have.
Those who are wholly dependent on
others and w ant relief should be required
to come to the Home, and this is notice
10 all such hereafter who apply for re
lief and who are dependent, to come at
once to the Poor House.
INMATES.
Daring the year there was an average
of seventy-four inmates in the Home.
They were all ma le comfortable, anil
very few complaints were htard, aud
these only frin those who are old and
greatly atllicted with the ills of life.
Good beds and comfortable rooms are
provided, and wholesome food in abund
ance prepared. A large hospital room ia
badiy needed for the ruaie inmates wnieh
will be especially provided lor iu the
erection of the new building.
KELHiIl SKUVIi ES.
During the year there were regular
services once each month by Elder Val
entine dough, w ho also ofikiated at the
funerals. His services were rendered
gratuitously, for which the Directors, aa
well as the public return their thanks.

There were tw elve deathi at the Home
daring the year. All, with, but two ex
ceptions, had reached ther allotted time,
trbee score and ten years', aud wiean the
summons came it was a welcome visitor.

Finding People Who Have Mov
ed. Many persons are sirprised that they
cannot prwur" the address of someone
who has moved a ':iy from his old resi
dence, and not left the new address with
the j.mior of the building he had occu
pied, froru the posti.-tiice or branch oihce
siituated in the district where he had re
sided. They ifi to the !o3totfice to ask
for such laid rex in -xA faith, but are
always r. f ii' l, an 1 there isa stringent
rule aatainst tin giving of such informa
tion by the p-i-t iliire authorities.
The idea of tl e postotfii-e people is
that a man's letters and papt-n are strict
ly confidential, and the outside address
aiso. A letter carrier that gives any in
formation concerning mail matter he
may have i:i his cliarge to any person
except the one to whom the letters are
aldressed is liable t di.-::iisrul from the
aerviu-e. and is sure of suspension or
transfer.
AH sorts cf in.iiries come into the
postotlice regarding persons who receive
mail matter. Parties in search of debt
ors are the most frequent inijtiirersi
Others are those who have sold goods on
an installment and cannot find tke par
ties who liave taken them, and then dia- j
appeared, leaving a balance due. Sewing
machine agents ask after those who have
disaj.ieared with machines, not having
paid for tkem.
There Is only oneway to find out the
addresses of parties through the post
otlice, an 1 that is by addressing a letter
to the old address of the person sought.
The pootoliice authorities are bound to
aeliver the letter. Of course this is not
available to thse in search of people
ajrainst whom they hold claims, but
w hen an address is sought by a, friend
he may be pretty s:ire that a letter will
find the persjn to whom it is addressed.

A Mean City Lawyer.
We ha'-e often heard of the cute traits
of the Philadelphia lawyer and of his
being al le to master things that seemtd
impossible to his country practitioners,
but vie learn of a little incident occuring
a short time ago, in which a justice of
the peace not a mile from the court house
learned how very eicact a member of the
Philadelphia bar could be. The lawver
had a claim put in his hands for collec
tion ajiinst a certain man in town to the
amount of nearly S I i.) and sent it on to
the justii e V have him sue the party at
once, enclosing a check for , to defray
the necessary costs.
Tiie j istite called on the aforesaid
business limn and stated the facts. A
few days pasd and the business man
called on thejastice and paid him the
claim in fall. The justice remitted the
amount to the lawyer, and, wisely or un
wisely f,,r i1i;.,i atated the money had
been coliM-ted without a Bait and that
he would retain the check of f- for his
trouble. Here the lawyer balked and
wrote that unless the check was return
ed at once ha w ould order the district
attorney to bnng hnit for receiving illegal
fees.
The j lstice waii.-d and found the law
yer had realiy written the district attor
ney, and in or ler to accommodate the
city attorney the justice returned the
check, rexviving nothing for Wis time
spent in coli-M-ilng tiie money, besides
the wasteof post ige. Perhaps this justice
will not trouble hi:nst If collecting any
bills! for this polite entleman of the
Quaker city in the fit tire. C t-nVi'7 '..,

He Imagir.ed It Hurt,
A man who is en to thinking aljont

of the iniluence of ti.e imagination over
the min i and lm'ty as we!!. This illus
tration rani" about throngh the behavior
of his sh'. as interpreted by his usind, or
of his mind is interpreted by bia shoe
it would be hard t tell which. This ia
the story : He returned to the city after
a hunting trip. When his Ingga'ee waa
unpacked his vale: told him that one of
his shoes was missing. He sent back for
it. In a -lay or two it came. The next
morning the va'et. io setting out his
wardmhe. iniormel the young man that
the shoe returned was not his own, yet
it was curiously 1U the other shoe in
size and shape and quality. The young
man slipped on the shoe in question.
Clearly it was not his 'own. It didn't tit
any where and hurt bitu cruelly. He
kicked it off. 2id it back and get the
right one," he said. The valet picked it
up and as he did no mechanically turn
ed back the flap. There was the name of
the L mdon bootmaker, and not only
that, the name of the young man him
self. It was hi3 own shoe and no mis
take. S then tke valet, without saying
a word, replaced the identical pair of
shoes. The young man slipped them on.
"Are they easy, air ?" he asked after
t bit. Perfectly" answered the young
I man. And it is true. .V. Y. '

His skeleton he desirs1 prepareil in tj.e
most artistic manner known to the pro
feasion, and placed with the many ctheri
in the anatomical department of Havar 1
College. WQi'e preliminary preparitiwr.s
were being made in carrying out ti.is ex
traordinary request, he desired thi sur
geon to be very careful with the skin.
that it could be tanned in pieces of sa.li
cie at size to make a pair of drumheads.
Upon one of these drumheads ihe " Dec
laration of Independence" was to b
written, and upon the other P.-pe's "I'i.i
versal Prayer. " F:tte.l in i-s prt-r
woolen frame, this ghastly reiic was to

The skeleton of Jeremy Fnthatn in
the Hospital Museum, London, is there
at the reiiest of its owner, w ho r.iade a
special provision in his will t have it
presented to the hospital, which, upon
accepting the gut. was to have the skel
eton mounted and put in the presiden
tial chair at each meeting of the hospital
directors.

his relatives had given bim only lit'.'..
thoughL When it came time for hitn
die he hasl a little money, about j i .'
his brother, became very kind. After
his death, when the will was read, tiie
following remarkableclau.se was .;.:..
ed: To my brother, Xapolean llonapartc, I
bequeath my left aria and hand; t
George Washington, my second brother,
my light arm and hand ; to my other

relatives the portion allotted to hi:u or
her."
Horatio G. Onderdonk, a brother of
the liishoD of New York, made provis
ions in his will which would have turned
old Draco green with envy. Draco was
strict, and well understood th meaning
of the expression "ruling with a r! of
iron," but had Mr. Onderlonk lived at
the time the old man was preparing his
famous code, he could have helped to
make it more bindin,. The last piini
graph in the mderdonk will read as fol
lows: "No heir must be an idler,
gard, profligate, drunkard, gauibler; use
liquors or tobacco ; go hunting or tishiLg

A Cold Weather Fiend.
There is a specimen fiend abroad, in
winter weather esoei:ially, whom it were
cilumnlx to call human. The sole ob
ject for which this fiend prowls the earth
is to steal up to you unawares an i pm an
icy hand on some exposed part cf your
person with the inquiry, "Aren't my
sands cold" The shoe- w en-og..
kill you, but it is not the purpose of your
tormentor to put you to death speedily.
It is his purpose, rather, to reserve - you
for experimental practice. Vv inter
weather lasts in this climate from four to
five months, and he aims to gt in bis
fine work from two to three times a day
for that period.
Often the fiend is related to you by ties
of consangunity, and occasionaly be is m
trm. of inti.uacv that admit of the
dwelling beneath the swine roof, but
neither ties of blood nor bonds of friend
ship can palliate hi o'.Tense. There
should be a penalty fitted to me trm.r,
and in pondering the matter over, after
being victimised to the extent mat 1 110
bed at every footfall, and am a regular
symphony in goose flesh. I have decided
that the only adequate punishment for
such an offense against huuiaiu'y and
good breeding is a 8hotgun.-l'b':cair

An Old Story in a New Dress.
Two men met in Tombstone the other
night who bad not seen each otl.-r in
fifteen years. When they bad talked to
gether for ten minuus they discovered
that they had both been on a coroner a
jury in Montana, which, to say the W-f.
was a remarkable one. The case wss one
of a man found drowned in the c.ow
stone river ; his t-xly was br v-.-ht the
coroner's rjonis, the jury summon-d and
the body examined. In the hip p-'-'fl
of bis over-lls was found a t'o't s x
shooter and in another pocket a s.n gold
piece. The jtstics. who wa also a -or. -n-r,
as is also the ml in Arizona at the
