To tie honorable Board Of Supervisors Of La

The undersigned, Superinte naents of
Poor Of La Sale County (appointed by
your honorable body,) would respectfully
report that there is at this date sixteen
inmates in the County House Ten Of
the number are insane, one blind, one an
infant, one lame, and three on beds OF
sick ness We have received during the
year past IS persons, to whom we have
rendered assistance in clothing, board and
medicines Whole No. of weeks board,
I,O47, amounting for a single person to
over 20 years board. The number sent
from each town is as follows:
La Sale, 10; Peru, 3; Ottawa. IA Men

]; Usage, Eagle, 3; South Ottawa, 2;
Mission, | Manlus, , Dimmick, l Rut
land, |; Freedom, |; Eden, |.
There has been during the year, eight
deaths and three births. The past year
has been one of the most healthy seasons
we have witnessed for long time, and
the inmates of the House have not suf
fered from any epidemic diseases. Twelve
Of the inmates will probably remain as
objects of charity till death relieves them
they having be come decrepid to such an
extent as to render them wolly unable to
take care of themselves. We cannot but
congratulate y our honorable body upon
the fact that, notwithstanding the severity
of the times and the difficulty the poor
labor under in procuring work, we have
steadily reduced the number Of the in
mates of the House, and at this time have
less than at any other period OF the year
We have been put to some expense and
trouble by shipments of paupers to this
county from other points. and in self de-
fence have been compelled to send them
back to the place from which they came
If we were to send all of this class to the
County House we should soon be filed

friends when they desired us to do 80,

County House. We think this course has
saved the county several hundred dollars
during the last year. The farm has been
well cultivated, and the crops look ex
ceedingly we'll. Everything has and is
done for the comfort of the inmates that
could be consistent with the rules and
regulations of the institution; and we are
not afraid to place the farm and the insti-
tuition aside of any other of the same
character in the State for comparison.
We are desirous that a committee should
be appointed TO visit the farm; and. as
they will report to your honorable body,
we submit this report with confidence, be-
lieving that all has been done for the
interest of the county that could be.
