OvERsEERs OF THE Poor. - This Board
held its last monthly meeting for this munich
pal year, on Wednesday evening last, at the
House. The attendance was quite full. A
vote Of thanks was presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Higgins for the excellent manner In which the
house had been carried on by them the past
year. We think, from what we know of the
are well fitted for the position they have held
for the last three years. Humane and judi
cious in their government, the unfortunate in
mates have always found In them true friends.
A resolution was also passed unanimously,
OF thanks to Lewis b. Smith and Elisha
Trowbridge, Esqs., for their faithful dis
charge of duty-the former as President, and
the latter as Secretary and Treasurer of the
Board Mr.. Smith has made an excellent
President. Ever ready, to the extent Of his
ability, TO cheerfully administer to the comfort
OF the poor, we run no risk 10 saying that the
Board never had better presiding officer.
Mr.. Trowbridge is too well known, in connec-
tion with the Board, to need a word from us.
He has been for t,centy three years a member
A warm-hearted, benevolent man, it would
be hard indeed to estimate the amount of good
he has been able to do, in alternating the wants
of the poor, in those twenty-three years. That
1t is large indeed, who can doubt. The
members of the Board have been faithful men,
we know. Day after day for the whole year,
they have been wont to assemble in their room
to consider the needs Of .he poor, hear their
complaints, and devise ways for their relief.
They have done good service in this most i'm
portant municipal duty.
The Report, which win soon be published,
shows most favorable state of things in COM
parison with last year. The difference in fav-
or of the present year is about $1,000. We
commend the report to the attention Of our
citizens. The average number OF inmates has
been nearly two hundred. 1t also contains
many suggestions worthy Of consideration.
1t brings the operations Of this charity fully
TO view. It is . great work to judicious-
ly care for the poor in this city, in all their
multitude of situations and causes of destitu-
ton. Blessed are they who perform the duty
faithfully, without hope Of reward, except the
great reward Of an approving conscience.

hundred men of the 4th Ohio cavalry accom-
