REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF AIMS HOUSE

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF AIMS HOUSE
10 The County Commissioners I
Of Cecil Comfy (
Tho undersigned. Trustees of the Poor, beg
leave to submit the following Report Of tho condi-
ton CT the affairs of Ceci. County Aims House for
the year ending the first Monday Of May, 1856.
On the Grst Monday in May, 1855, there remain
Cd sEvENTY-oNE inmates III the liouse: during the
year NINETY-NINE were admitted and FOUR chill
drcn were born in the House; during tho same
time SEVENTY were discharged, rsEsrr-runEs
died and THREE children were bound out, leaving
at the end Of the yonr SEVENTY in tho House
The moro than ordinary mortality was caused by
number Of cholera cases in the summer Of 1855.
The produce Of tho farm during tho year was as
follows:
Wheat ZIG bushels
Oats, l047 F."
Corn. 40 "
Buckwheat, 81 i"
Potatoes, 1875 "
Tnrnips, IS I"
Cabbage, 1000 heads
Pork, 4,2i5 pounds.
The whole Of this produce, excopt the amount
of Sl04, which was sold, was consumed on the
premises The levy for 1906 was 81, 700, which,
together with tho amount received for produce
sold, made the whole amount in our hands for the
year g. S64. 90. The amount requisite for the sup
port of tho Institution during the year va found
to DO S296S .06 which left tho sum Of $l54 90 due
the corn Drop Of 1855, which was greater than
usual, to reimburse Thy lessening the amount of
grain to be purchased.) We borrowed $3.50 90, the
treasurer paying the balance a o6l out Of his own
funds, leaving the county sndebted to him for the
same, as will appear by his account filed in your
oaice; and the $4,000 borrowed We expect to be
able to pay out of the levy for 1861
Among the causes which added to the expenses
Of the year, may DO named the high price Of corn,
u greater quantity Of which than usual had to bo
purchased during the summer and fall Of 1855
the increased number of paupers and an unusual
amount Of sickness.
Besides the necessary expenditures for keeping
the property in Order and the additional furniture
needed in the house, VIC bought during tho year
one ton Of guano and xix hundred and twenty
bushels of lime for the use Of the farm
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

A STRANGE CAsE.---The City Marshal and
deputy marshals Fuller and Schollick Yesterday
arrested man for crime which is really
novel in this section Of the Union. The name
of the prisoner is Joseph Gomez---a barber by
trade. AT his residence within the vicinity OF
Eslava street, his wife Ga white wornan) was
found chained by the ANGLE. The chain was
some twelve or fourteen feet long---iust suffi-
cient to allow her to perform her household du-
ties, without freedom to go far into the street.
1t gave her range enough to clean up the room
of the domicil and do the cooking. The pris-
oner confessed tia. he had adopted this means
of martial discipline, and that he intended to
keep his wife so fettered for only two or three
weeks, in order to bring her to her
rational senses Of her obligations as head OF
a household. The woman was carried to the
guard house in order that the letters might be
broken from her ANGLE.
What is the most singular fact of the busi-
ness is that when she was released she was
quietly performing her domestic duties. and
when she heard Of her husbands arrest she
begged that he might not be punished --.Mo-
bile Tribune.

The enterprising traveller, Mr.. Richie, who
proceeded some years since. with an expedition to
Tripoli, for the purpose Of exploring the interior
of Africa, wrote as follows:
''As one of my friends desired me to give him
in writing, an account of what knew, touching
the pctTfed city, situated seventeen days. jour-
ney from Tripoli, by caravan, to the south
east, and two days. journey south of Onguela,
told him what had heard from different per-
sons, and particularly from the mouth of one
man of credit, who had been on the spot, that is
to say, that it was spacious city, of round
form. having great and small trees therein, fur
nished with shops, with large castle magnif-
icently built. That he has seen there several
sorts of trees, the most part olive and palms all
stone, and of a rather lead color. That he also
saw figures of men in postures of exercising
their different employments, some holding in
their hands stats, others bread /; every one do
ing something even women sucking their chill
dren; all of stone. That he went into the castle
by three different gates, though there were many
more; that there were guards at the gates with
pixies and javelins in their hands. In short that
he saw in this wonderful city, many sorts of ami
mails, as camels, horses: asses and sheep, and va
rious birds, all of stone, and of the color above
mentioned.o

DESPERATE CONDITION OF Col. WALKER.
"A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from San Juan del Norte on the 9th
ut, says the general impression there was that
Walker would never be able to hold the coun-

he was at Grenada sick with fever, and sick.
ness was prevalent in the city. Tie graves
of over four hundred Americans could be
counted in the grave yard there. Walkers
troops were concentrated at that point, and des-
perale fighting was anticipated soon.
correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
writes:
| am very DESTROYS that you should employ
al your influence to prevent more Americans
from joining Walker, All these poor wretch
es, instead of receiving 220 acres of land, are
forced to take arms
The situation of Walker is critical. Costa
Rica has sent 5000 men against him, and /
am good witness that these soldiers fight like
tigers. From Honduras there are now 1000
men near the frontier of Nicaragua From
San Salvador, on the 18th Of this month, there
marched 1000 men, and at the same time
three or four thousand are coming from Guate-
mala. The natural result of this will doubt
less be the complete overthrow of Walker in
very short time. Apronunciamenfo of the in
habi.anls Of Nicaragua against Walker is very
probable. They only wait the arrival of the
allied troops TO join their ranks.

orlLL ONWARD MISUNDERSTANDING efforts have
been made within the past month to crush us, we
are happy to announce to our old friends. that
our subscription list has steadily increased. We
now print over f'co hundred more weekly papers
than when we left for the East, and there has
been steady increase in our dailies. Our adj.
vertisins columns show degree of prosperity
equal to our contemporaries, and with what adli

paimiest days are over. Emigration does not
stop here as formerly,-it pushes further West
ward, and this current will continue until Chica-
60, Dubuque and st. Paul will outrival Buffalo in
population, wealth and enterprise. Stick pin
here, and let itremain until Time shall prove what
assert. Buffalo has dingy appearance The
buildings are very irregular in height, exhibiting
as many styles of architecture as there are diff
ferent minds. Right the opposite can be said of
Chicago. The public buildings here are not
striking-they are in Chicago. There is great
deal OF enterprise here-there is still more in
Chicago. The spires of the churches are low and
Dutchy-in Chicago they are high and systemat-
ical and so on. might enumerate other fea-
lures, but consider it useless. Both places are
good sized villages, but the elements at work in
Chicago will eventually give that place the lead.
For instance, much of the trade that found its
way to Buffalo now finds its way to Chicago, and
this trade will increase each year as a matter of
course adding to the latter and detractnc from
the former.
Emigration West this Spring is very great. A
large number of families are pouring into Iowa,
and an almost equally large number into Mime.

who start for Iowa will eventually locate in our
Territory. Take them by the hand and aid them
in procuring homes.

TWO YEARS!

1t is just two years to day since we issued th9
first number of the ST. PAUL DAILY TMEs-ju}t
two years and what a changed Politically, the}e
as been great change socially. life's golden
current is still meandering as then; pecuniarily
the stream has grown wider and deeper, and OR
vessel, though more heavily laden, sails as gent
ly and quietly as when we crowded less CANVAS
to her masts. Our National Flag, the emble4 of
Liberty, floats as proudly at the top-mast pea as
two years ago the ropes are manned with just
as brave crew, and the Captain, though hi living
encountered many storm. and grappled with
many piratical craft, is still sanguine of reach
ing the port of safety and prosperity.
Friends ! we are two years old look at US
Is there anything mean in our countenanSe? o.
Have we ever deserted our standard? Have we
not fought earnestly and fearlessly for Freedom,
Temperance and the rights of those toiiink in

ashamed of us, please take our arm and go with

you first timidly and cautiously grasped our hand.

villainy to muzzle the Press that dared to ex-

Of gilded dones and gorgeous palaces, but thank
God they have failed. Thus, our enemies, foiled
in every attempt, to-day we stand stronger than
