The GIRARD FUND. In compliance with
the will Of Stephen Girard, the Treasurer OF
the Trust bcqueathed to the city has jus,
made his usual annual exhibit. OF the two
millions appropriated to the construction and
maintenance of the GIrard College, says

cxpended-the unexpended balance of this
fund, 81 sos, COG, is in United Bank shares,
and state and city stock, the market value
of which does not exceed S675 1000. So
much for the college fund. The $780, 900
appropriated for the Improvement of the
eastern front of the city is invested in vari-
Gus stocks, the value Of which have shrunk
to about one half of their par value, and dur
ing the year yielded but S22,9l1. The
$4,000 appropriated by the lesta,or for the
purchase Of fuel for poor housckeepcrs, is in
vested in Schuylkil Navigation Company
loan, and is worth but abou, $1,000, though
it yielded during the year $i55. The stock,
and loans comprising the residuary fund, til,
par ofwhich amounts to SJ25,G55, would
not now command in the market fifty pei

nothing. The amount of receipts into tht
