expenditures have exceeded the receipts
by $19, ,52o,o2, and that all but 80, 1885,
10 of this excess Of expenditures was pre-
vious to November 10Th, 1855. and the
balance previous to June lst. A. D. 1856.
the time W hen the present Warden came
into office.
From June lst. A. D. 1856, to Novcm.
Der lst, A. ID. 1856, the accounts show a
small balance of receipts over expendi-
lures. including repairs. which have been
unusually large.
The history Of the Institution, from its
establishment up TO the present time,
shows that it has been a constant tax up
on the State. If the same system and
economy, with which a good business
man manages his own private affairs, can
be introduced and enforced in the busi-
ness OF the prison, there is no doubt the
Institution will support itself. and yield a
small revenue to the State, after it is put
in such n state Of repairs as the interests
Of the State demand.
The committee believe it to be q short.
sighted and bad policy for the State to
suffer the buildings and other property 10
be exposed to decay, merely for the sake
of showing present anl delusive profit
to the State accruing from the Institution,
and they have endea, ored to remedy the
! evils which existed as far as their means
would allow. Additional repairs to the
amount Of FIVE thousand dollars are abso-
lutely required, in order to protect the
property Of the State, and rid the Institu-
tion of the vermin with which il is overrun.
Unless the Institution can be rid of the
vermin that infest it, the courts should
shorten the term Of sentence. for the pris.
oner is not only doomed to hard labor du-
ring the day, but tortured nights by those
"pests of humanity :" and we are fully
of the opinion that the only way to reme-
dy this evil will be to supply iron bed
steads in the place of the rough. rickety
board hunks. the open joints Of which
afford safe retreat for breeding planta-
tions.
The experiment of iron bedsteads was
successfully tried during the last summer,
but was necessarily abandoned, after ma
king about twenty five. for the want of
sufficient means. Another great benefit
10 be gained by the use of iron bedsteads,
if they are made to turn up at the side,
will be the increased room of the cell.
1t will be necessary also to remove the
board floors ofthe cells, and put in either
stone or cement instead - Sandusky Req

MARRIED..

On the 18th inst. by NJ H. Kirby, Esq, NJ
JoHN T1LroN to Miss IRENA RAaoN, daughte
Of John Ragon, Esq.
This marriage was the quickest done,
OF all we've seen beneath the sun.
The Colonel is an expert hand,
And does not cause them long to stand.
A happy pair the groom and bride
Stood up SO pleasant side by side;
A happy pair we hope they'll be,
In time and in eternity.
The company joyful set
OF any which we've witnessed yet:
The squire how he did rejoice
How pleased we were to hear his voice.
7 he wedding cake was very nice,
Crus cd DER with blue and white
The table even 9roaned beneath
With every thing so good to eat:
The children also looked so fine,
We cannot help but form rhyme.
The one who in the corner sat,
Who would not much with any chat,
He seemed resolving in his mind
If there was me that he could find
To share with him the tolls of life
A blessed eompanion-loving wife.
We think there is some hope for him /;
We now suggest that he begin.
Brother George" was also there.
To witne SIS too the happy pair
A jolly fellow full of glee,
AS any in the Company.
He is man who loves some fun,
Who likes to see race horse run
This rhyme close while yet it's winter,
For fear should displease the printer.

The Man of Destiny.

The Man of Destiny.
Bonner has never yet claimed that the
circulation of the -New York Ledger is over
one hundred and ninety thousand, and
yet We know that it is OVER TWO HUNDRED
AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND! This is q
big, vast, an almost incomprehensible
circulation, truly but Bonner considers
it only mere beginnlng-a POINT DAP
PUrs--a base of operations. He wants a
half-millon before stoppingto take breath,
and preparing TO do SOMETHING vIGoR
ous!' His page advertisements and his
S 1000 checks for advertising, lie looks
upon simply as pleasant little efforts in a
small way--better than nothing. perhaps,
but not at all worthy of the greatest fam
lily paper in the world. Subscriptions are
pouring in by the bushel. but he wants
'em to come by the ton. He has monop
olized all of the most popular writer's in
the country but that does not satisfy
lin; he is looking across the Atlantic,
and into the womb OF the future, for more.
And Just here an idea occurs to us if
anybody wants to make a handsome spec
ulatio1, let him "grow" corps of popu-
lar writers. Bonner will pay him any
price for them, and give him a premium
besides.
Really. this man Bonner "must be phi
a stop to-" He is too extravagant ant
too monopolizing. Common folks. anc
common purses, stand no sort of chance
along side Of him and his. He render:
competition hopeless and as competition
is the 'life of trade" he who kills com
petition who smothers competition -wh'
overwhelms competition, and frightens
into fits, and knocks it into the middle o
next week, and keeps it there, should, t.
say the least, be looked after. But Bon
ner is past looking after. A man wit
