'pENlrENTrARY.

The resignation OF the former War
den, in the early part of the year. i'm
posed upon the Directors of the Pcni.
tentiary the necessity Of selecting n
new man for this important POSITION
General G. G. Walcutt was appointed
and the present condition OF the Prls-
on shows that good discipline, firm
ness, system, humanity and economy
have been exercised in its manage,
ment. sr4at ta.
The expenses of the institution have
been little less than in the preceding
year, but they still exceed the re-
ceipts from the labor of the convicts
by the sum of sl6.239 sc. This is
owing to tho fact that the existing con-
tracts for the labor OF the prisoners
were, under the law, nearly all made
whom the value of labor was much
lower than it now is, and, therefore,
while the Penitontiary has the increas'
ed cost of food and clothing TO meet
it has not tho balancing advantage oi
the increased price of labor.
Several improvements are urged by
the Directors and Warden as being Of
manifest necessity. Among these are
a steam engine, for the purpose oi
grinding bread.stuffs, throwing water
in case Of fire, pumping water for use in
the corridors and cells, washing clothes
&c. This appears to be real neces'
sitv, and in the end would prove O
real economy. The removal OF the
old and nearly useless engine house
and the substitution ofa larger and
somewhat different building, is also
recommended. Under existing laws
the Chaplain is required, in addition tc
his other duties, TO keep records and
furnish statistics concerning the pris
on. This kind of labor requires an
office, which the construction of the
building has not provided, and no dis
posable room is at his command. Th'
change recommended in reference tt
the engine house might be made to in
clude provision for the Chaplain.
The report of the last-named Office
shows that more than three-fourths o
the convicts are under thirty years old
and, in fact, large majority of them ar
!. young men who have very recently
f come of age.
. The number of youthful "frst.o of

Governors Message,

FslloU- Citizens cfthe General Assembly.
The season which has passed sin CO
your adJournment, may be regarded as
a prosperous one for our people: for.
although We have not entirely escaped
the rayages of 'pestilence, and serious
foods have injured important public
works and destroyed crops in parts of
the State, these evils have bcon excep-
tional and partial in their nature-the
general health and thrift of the COM
munity being so great as to give us
cause for deyout thankfnlness
The political events of the past year
have been Of the most important and
exciting character; and whilst every
patriot must deeply regret that u final
solution has not yet been reached for
oil the disturbances In our National
Government caused by the late REBEL.
ion, We may justly take pride in de.
claring that the order, self.control and
intelligence concerning public affairs
which have marked the conduct of the
citizens Of this State in deciding most
critical issues at tho polls, give new as
surance of the safety and stability Of
republican governments.

From the foregoing statement 1t will
appear that the burdens Of the people
for the current year will be nearly
three millions OF dollars less than in
the past year. ra
The expenditures for county, town
and other local purposes, which do not
pass through the State Treasury, form
by far the greater part oftbe total tax
alton of the people. Thus the total
amount collected on the tax duplicate
for the past year is $40 S7O,028 Is, out
of which only little moro than five
millions enters the State Treasury, the
remainder being disbursod within the
counties where collected. sI
The Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1863-1886, 1867-01-10

Ofthis increase, the largest ratio has
been in dwelling houses, which, taken
in connection with the other fact that
European immigration has increased,
is decisive proof of the growth in
population.
Another class of facts, tending to the
same conclusion, is found in the in
crease marriages, although this is in
part attributable to the return of sol.
diers from the disbandcd armies.

TIE TREASURY.

Tho examination made under my
order by w. T Bascom, special exami-
ner, in connection with the proper
State officers (whose report is attached
hercto), as well as tho regular exami-
nations of the Auditor and Comptroller,
Indicate that the management of the
Treasury during tho year has been in
strict accordance with law. Inasmuch
as great difficulties and inconvenience
arise in conducting the business OF the
Treasury, under the existing statutes,
II regard the fact above noticed worthy
of mention, and, at the same time,
would invite your attention to the
statements and recommendations Of
the several officers Of State on that sub
ject. 'i'
/ Tho State loses. yearly, the interest
on balances remaining in the several
funds, for lack OF authority for the Au
ditorto make temporary transfers from
ono fund to another. As all expendi
lures within the year are exactly linn
tied by appropriations, and the re
ceipts can be regularly calculated witt
mathematical precision, | can see M
,, possible risk in empowering the Audi
! tor to direct such temporary transfers
and thus to save to The State interes
on idle balances, which, it is estimated
would amount to from thirty to fift.
thousand dollars per annum. This
among the changes suggested, is dc
serving of careful attention.
VALUATION OF PROPERTY.
J. The total valuation of property sub
iect to taxation in 1867, as it nov
!. stands on the tax duplicate, is 81, lO6
20S, ,921 90, a sum on which the Who'll
outstanding State debt amounts onl
to one per cent. Over thirty-six and
: half millions have been added to To
! amount of this valuation during ID
3, past year, Of which, however, moi
: than nine.tenths is.upon personal prol
Z, erty, the taxes upon real estate beiu
4 levied upon estimates, which are sui
. stantially the same as they were at Il

no good foundation, for nothing Is
moro notorious than that the value Of
real estate has nearly, il not quite kept
pace with the enhancement of person
atty. The Auditors report discusses
this subject with care, and | respect
fully commend to your attention his
suggestions as to the necessary reno.
dy. His laborious efforts TO equalize
and systematise the valuation Of per.
sonal property, should be credited with
no small part of the increase effected in
that respect, but legislation seems in.
dispeDsable to correct the inequality to
which havereferred. Iheartily agree
with him 10 urging the necessity OF a
revision Of all tho financial laws Of the
State, the inconsistencies and irregu-
larities of which are vividIy set forth
in his report.
In connection with the increase ol
the valuation of property, it is satisfac.
tory to notice some other facts in re-
gard 10 tho new start taken by the
State in its progress since the end OF
the war, which are furnished me by the
Commissioner of Statistics.
The erection of new buildings, in.
cluding dwellings, barns, factories,
mills, churches, and school l-houses, have
been moro numerous than in any year
for ten years past, and tho striking con.
trast with the four preceding years will
be shown by the following table:

And Drusilla said it like an actress
in tragedy, and went off into Mysteries
the moment the words we're out of her
mouth. She'd been expecting to be
half murdered for it, you know, and the
girl was but sixteen you know, and al
ways before had minded as though l
was her mother.
Never was any old sinner so happy
as was that night, so thankful to the
good Lord; and it would have done
your heart good if you had gone and
seen those two meet in the morning
Charlie and his friend Rob. And Char
lie, who had got on so we'll, and had a
mother who was not SO poor, helped
Rob into Rob into business. And he
got over his wounds at last, and grew
as eandsome as picture, and to-day
week is going to marry Drusilla.

he had loved her over since she was so

Of.
And Charlie is to stand up with him,

Rob's sister from Greenbank, is to be

day Charlie will bring her home to me
