1t will be ascertained from the details in
this balance sheet that the amount $780,
CAL SO is the whole amount expended by the
State on account OF the Penitentiary. The
other sums on the credit side, may need ex-
PLANTATION. The amount 1854. 40 is for cash
advanced by the Warden during the month
May last, in payment OF bills for supplies,
&c. The amount 81 2,676.03 is the ag.re-

Honorable mention should be made Of s.
Guthrie, ESQ, who is most competent book
keeper, rendered to the Commission val,,a-
BILE assistance in the discharge oftheir duties,
and who is now employed by the present
Warden as chief Clerk and book keeper OF
the ablshment-which at once guarantees
accuracy and system in the keeping of the
accounts. 1t is believed, hawever, that lie
cannot be retained for the compensation now
given that officer. True economy requires
that the Clerk in this institution should be a
first class book keeper with rates of pay
which he could get In our larger mercantile
establishments. 1t is proper that should
state that the Commissioners reported de
ficit in the accounts OF the late Warden
amounting to $2,27S,1i. This deficit was
discovered by the examiners, after fina

IIUs THE NINTH THE LAST PopE -Apropos
OF the Pope, there is, as has been for years,
curious tradition in Italy-that Plus the
Ninth would be the last Pope; and in Illus
uation Of this, will repeat an anecdote rela-
ted TO me by friend Of mine. Several years
ago, in the Pontifcate of Gregory XVI, this
gentleman was in the Cathedral of S;ena
looking at the busts of the Popes, which are
placed after their deaths, in niche devoted
to that purpose. Two empty inches then
alone remained. "Why," said nv friend.
there is only room for two more busts: Won
will have to make some inches for those of
the future Popes." "Oh, no, sgnore," re-
Piled the cicerone, "they say after these two
we shall never have any more Popes." Greg
ory's bust now stands in one of these inches;
A frightfuf Occurrences, says the Grand
Rapids Eraminer, took place in the town of
Bloomer, Montcalm County, on Thursday
the 18th ult. At the raising of a large barn,
couple of small boys were playing with
large broad-axe, when one of them suggested
to his playmate to lay his head on large
block, and let him cut it off; which was
done, and the sharp heavy axe instantly
severed the head from the body of the little
fellow. Just at this moment large bent Of
the frame was poised mid air but the men
engaged in raising it were so shocked at the
sight, that they let go their hold, when the
huge timber with sudden crash fell to the
ground, killing three men instantly.
