This brings the business of the mill up
to the time of the last Auditors settle
ment, to wit, the 1St of January, 1868.
Statements in detail of the receipts and
expenditures of each year are hereto
attached.
Your Auditor desires to notice the
candOr, frankness and courtesy, of
Mr.. Samuel Defibaugh, the Stewart,
and of Mr.. j. f. Wills, the miller, and
also the manifest honesty, ability and
zeal, with which the business of the
mill has been conducted by them. Mr..
Defibaugh purchased and hauled to the
mill during last year, two thousand
and thirty-fOur bushels of wheat, be-
sides rye, the toll and Offals from which
made over $500; so that, but for that,
the mill would not have netted more
than 5000. Mr.. Wills has been the
the miller from the 1st of January 18-
IS. The average nett receipts of the
mill during the five years for which
he has been miller, is S86929 per an
mum.
The average nett receipts of the mill
per annum from Dec. 3D., 1912, to 1st
of January 1868, a period of % years,
be diminished somewhat, if all the eX-
penditures for the mill could be arriv-
ed at with precision. All Of which
is respectfully submitted.
w. NJ. HALL,
Auditor.
p. S. Your auditor would respect
fully suggest, that if the mill property
is retained, it would greatly conduce
to a satisfactory examination and eX-
hibit of its affairs, if all the receipts
and expenditures Of the mill were kept
separate from the other poor house ac-
count, and ifa minute annual state
ment of all the expenditures for the
mill, including toll and team to haul
grain to mill, and printing mill state
ment, and time of Stewart and Direc-
tors in regard to mill business, &C.,
&C., were published.

Auditor.
SEVERE STORM.-The western end
of this county was'visited, one day last
week, by one Of the severeSt storms of
rain and hail ever known in that re-
gion. Two buildings in the town of
SchelIsburg were struck by lightning
and damaged. In one house the light
ming decended the chimney and knock
ed an iron pot from the stove, leaving
the inmates unharmed. Some half
dozen persons in different parts of the
town, were knock ed down by the
electric fluid, yet miraculously escaped
without any serious injury. We learn
that some Of the grain fields have been
cut to pieces by the hail.
STREETS BLOCKADED.-Last week
the street leading to Hollidaysburg was
almost completely blockaded with
Hartley and MetZgar's farm machin-
cry; Russell Reapers and Mowers,
Gum Roller Grain Drills, Amos Horse
Rakes, Carlisle Rakes, &C., &C., in
heightened profusion. Well, all we
can say is, that every farmer ought to
own a Gum Roller Drill, and that our
farmers are safe in buying from Hart
ley & Metzgar. They always have the
very best farm machines to be found
anywhere, and the fact that their buSi-
ness is constantly increasing, is evil
dence that they please the people. Ev
en- dull days find Hartley & Metzgar
busy.
PHOTOGRAPHIC.--"S Secure your shad
oW ere the substance fails" is done
thus-drink two pints of tanglefoot,
on moonlight night; then start
home. When you observe your shad-
Ow at full length, drop fiat on your
face and bury your nose two inches
into the ground. Lie still there till
friend takes you home on a wheelbar-
row. For effect it beats the artists
method. Who'll try it?
CLOTHING.-The rain it raineth ev-
cry day the streets, they run like
rivers dark clouds obscure the face of
June cold winds give one the shivers;
but when the hot sun comes out, the
folks, with one accord, rush to Berk-
stressers' to get a new suit of spring
clothing, made in the latest style.
y GOOD PLACE TO BUY.-At II. F.
Irvine's, No 2, Anderson's Row. He
has boots and shoes, ladies' CATERS,
queensware, glassware, groceries,
spices, tobaccos, notions, &C., &c.
SWEET ALIssUM is a pretty little
garden-flower; but if you want a Whit
of street elysiuDe, you will find the near
est approach to it in the heavenly
Od0r Of PHALoN's new perfume.
