Governors Message.

Commencing with statement in brief OF
the condition of the State finances, the Gov
ernor says that the receipts during the year,
from all sources, show AN excess of Sl.250,-
96l over the ordinary expenditures; but of
that excess $l2i6l93 "a was expended on
the following extraordinary items Com
pletion OF the new Portage Railroad, S446,-
162 u; to complete the North Branch Ca.
nal, SS7562 e.; to relay the south track Of
the Columbia Railroad, Sl33.l0S; payment
of domestic creditors Sl,629 S5; redemption
of loans, S3lG,550 co; cancelling Of relief
notes, S2G05SS. On the 30th OF November,
1880, the balance in the treasury was Sips,
G91 81, which will be required for the pay
mrnt ol the interest on the State debt failing
due in February. No loans, temporary or
otherwise. were negotiated during the past
fiscal year. The treasury owes S3350ll to
the Sinking Fund, provided for the redemp.
tion of the funded debt and relief notes, but
ms the temporary loans bear six per cent in
terest and the others only five, 1t has been
deemed best to redeem the former first.
In the three years extending from 1851 to
1884. the public debt increased 10y the ex-
ppud,tureS on the State works. Thus, ON
the lst nl December, 1871, the debt was $40.

the State deLt, for which interest due in the
years lS42-3-4 was not paid, certificates o

FIRST IMPH EsSIONS.

The tree, deer-scarred by earnest hands
While it is young,
Full grown, in strength unbroken, stands
The woods among.
High up, the wandering eye may see
The early mark,
Though none can read the symbol on
The roughened bark.
But though the name be seen no more.
And gone the year,
The old impression to the last,
viii still appear.
The breath of spring,-the summer SUM-
The autumn wind
And wintry snow, will leave Of youth
This trace behind.
The axe must seek the rugged root.
Before decry
This old memorial of the past,
Can bear away.
