Report of the . committee appointed by the Court of -Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county, to make distribution of county fund to the familie4 of the volunteers residing in Harris burg and, the, immediate vicinity, At the. commencement of the Southern Be bellion ; fn a meeting of the citizens of Mestrialiertegrpromptly resolved- thatt the Wei, lies of those who volunteered in defence' of our liberties, should be provided for as far as possible, until such time ,as the conspiracy should be crushed out, or the war fully in augurated, and the National Government should make ample provision for them by law. The meeting named a committeeof gentlemen, who immediately entered upon their duties, and advanced the means nacessary t. nutil the Common Council of Marrisburg, rasp inding to the wishes of the people, passed an ordinance, and by an uniform tax levied and collected, reimbursed them. A full statement of their receipts and expenditures np to that period, was published at the time. Oa the 16th of May, 1861, the Governor approved the act of the Legislature, which required the Commis sioners of Dauphin county to raise ten thou sand-dollars for the purpose abovenamed. By this act the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions were empowered to devise and carry out the proper means of distribution. At their reqnest, the gentlemen who ha I been entrust ed with the distribution of the city fundat tended a meeting of the court, and made a full exhibit of. their system of payments while acting on behalf of the city. This system that the approval of the court, who expressed. the desire that the same persons would agree to act as their agents for the distribution of the county funds so far as concerned this city and immediate vicinity. This request was acceded to, and our labors have been continued from that period until the 10th of January, inhtent, when they were terminated by the fund being exhausted. At a special meeting of the committee held January 17th 1862, Messrs. W. H. Kepner; R. F. Kelker and A. J. Herr, were appointed a committee to audit the account of the Secreta ry. This duty haa been performed, the account found to be perfectly correct, and a detailed statement showing the amount paid each indi vidual, certified by the auditing committee, and this account with the books. of tbe committee submitted to the Court. Here it might (by some) be considered that our duties had ended; but being a matter in Which the public.at Urge are interested, we have deemed it proper that they should be made fully acquainted with All that bas.been done, and.therefore present ithe annexed statement of weekly expendit*es, igttlilt few principal tuts. During the Month of Jrine 1861, the allOw, once made by the Court, to the toile of a volnn teer was two dollars per week, and to each child litifdr fourteen &ears of age, fifty cents per week. It was found that this rate of allowance, might exhaust the fund before the winter would , set in, and the Court, very judiciously, ordered that from and after July Ist 1861, a wife should receive but one, dollar and thirty-three cents, and each child as aleresald, but thirty-three cents per Week. This change prolonged the period of relief. No allowances were made to the families of commissioned officers. The lowest number,, at one time, upon the pay list, was twenty eight; 'the highest, one hundred and twenty-four. The highest number of children at any one time, one hundred and seventy Whole number of families relieved, two hun dretrand forty.

In conclution the Committee desire to state that the principal duties devolved upon and were performed by the Secretary. Immediately upon an applica tion for relief, he visited the h - ouse of the ap plicant,ascertained the true condition of affairs, the number of children under fourteen years, and all facts necessary to a proper decision of the case. Upm this report the Committee acted. His faithfulness may be inferred from, the fuck that of the - two hundred and forty filie3 Ce lieved, - not dirt was placed upon the pay list without his personal supervision. He prepared and paid out to the recipients more than thir teen hundred and fifty checks, and more than one thousand three hundred payments in cash besides. The amount allowed him by the court for his services to the county in this matter, which it will be perceived is very moderate, constitutes the only item of'expense attending the entire distribution. The Committee also desire publicly to thank the officers of the Jile clianiaa Bank of this city, for their uniform kindness in-affording , tbem every facility-re quired. -Thankful that.we have enjoyed 'the privilege of Ochatlibutitig somewhat' to the
