MESSAGE OF Gov. CLARK OF New YORK.

MESSAGE OF Gov. CLARK OF New YORK.
@aoe. Catk's message shows the receipts
Of the general fund to be 81 ,955 900. and the
expenditure Ssl,Sl7,00O He anticipates
considerable reduction in the receipts in
consequence of the reduction Of taxes and
the reduction of receipts from canals. The
debt of the general fund Oh the S0ih Of Sep
,ember was $6,355 900. The school fund
has increased $4,000 during the year.
The receipts from canals during the year
were 50, ,989, 900, and the expenditures ST.
233,000 The surplus does not meet the
purposes for which it was designed by Sl04,-
900, which is attributed to the commercial
cmbarrassments and short crops.
On the liquor question, the governor gives
his views al considerable length He strong
" advocates prohibition, citing many forci-
bic arguments. He considers prohibition
clearly within the constitution, and hopes a
bill will be framed to secure that end with
out interfering with any just personal rights.
He strongly drnounces the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, and considers its re-
s,oration demand for the security, peace
and permanent welfare of community.

UNHEALTHY PLAsrERING.-A communica-
tion in the New York Journal of Commerce
asserts that the hair used in plaster for new
houses is, very frequently, so dirty as to emit
unpleasant effluvis, which are quite sicken-
ing, and calculated to keep room un-
healthy for years afterwards. The writer
says:
"Hair used for mixing in mortar should be
thoroughly washed-rewashed, and dried
and thus deprived Of the putrid matter that
often adheres to it. The lime in mortar il
generate an unpleasant sickly effluvia when
ever the room is heated, until, after Ions
time, the mortar is converted into nitrate O
lime, or so much of it as is mixed with th'
animal matter is incorporated in the NOR
tar"
