Der at this date 156; decrease 50. Number dis
charged during the year 264; number born
during the year s.; number died in the same
period 81; Supplies furnished the psor residing

lows: 22,95O lbs OF coal; 100 cords of wood;
1858 lbs flour; 1775 lbs pork; $50 gallons
molasses; 1888 lbs. fish
Concerning the efforts of the Oyerseers for
the mental and moral needs of the inmates,
the report says:
The week day school has been kept I'D with
gratifying results. The Sabbath school, under
the faithful care of s. H. Colesworthy, ESQ,
has been attended to, with rarely an intermis-
sion, and that only by stress of weather. The
Sabbath day meetings have also been carefully

ices have also been bestowed upon any one
who invited his sympathy, and ,,hen death
has interviewed he has been ready to speak to
the survivors, and perform the last ceremonies
over the remains of the departed. The house
has continued under the charge of Mr., Charles
Sampson apd wife (master and matron) who
have been in that position for several wears.
1t has been carefully and economically man
aged, without at all stinting the actual needs
OF the inmates, and it is due to them to say
that in their department the interests of the
city or of the poor suffer no neglect at their
hands.
The schedule of property belonging to the
city in charge of the keeper ofths Aims HOUSE
is estimated at $17 419 AZ. The expenses of the
year just closed Exclusive of receipts) have
not reached $S400. The value of property in
charge of the keeper, as estimated by the re
port issued in April, 1868 was 1854 81, inelud-
$3.50 for bricks on hand. The property has in
creased, as per estimate of this year, to ST.
419 A. No bricks are reckoned this year; the
difference therefore, in favor of the present sit
uation and increase of property is more than
$4,000.
The inventory of farm products and manu-
featured articles for the year foots up $66S7 81.
Included in the list is 81 ,764 lbs pork, 1850 lbss

How often do you hear the complaint from
mother and father that their son or daughter
is not well; that they have no appetite; that
they feel languid; that their head aches; that
they are growing thin and feeble, and that they
have no life or energy left. That they are low
spirited, and perfectly incapacitated to partic-
ipate in any pleasures, or perform any mental
or physical duty. And the question is often
asked, what shall 1 do for them? or, what shall
give them? Our answer is, let them try

The NEW CAprAIN-GENERAL OF CuBA.-If
it is true that General De Roda is to succeed
Dulce as Governor of Cuba, the insurgents
will have presented to them the alternative OF
submitting, conquerirg or becoming thevic-
tins of genuine Spanish severity. De Roda is
thus described:
De Roda comes to Cuba not to bring peace,
but the sword. He is Castilian and hard
cold blooded, incorporating man. Educat-
ed in the army, and long familiar with the civ
il conflicts which have marked the recent his
tory of Spain, he has no sympathies with the
common people, and no liberation fol- their
aspirations toward freedom. 1t was he who
commanded the troops during the out
breaks at Malaga and Cadiz. His
brutal treatment of the insurgents who
became prisoners, and the unfeeling tone of
his reports to the government, indicate the
CHARACTERISTICS of the man. The Spaniards at
Havana will not appeal to him in vain, as
they have done to Dulce, for exemplary pun
ishment of the rebels. Such policy will be in
consonance with all his instincts. 1t is proba-
BILE that the change may eventually prove ad.
vantageous to the insurgent cause

GRANT VEToEs JOHNSON. Presi-
dent Grant caused the United States Marshal
at New York to withhold from the Dupuys,
father and son, convicted of 1escuing seized
whiskey from revenue officer, the pardon is
sued to them by President Johnson. UnIucky
are the thieves who did not get released
under the reign of the late Andy. 1t will be
catching times" for them now. The act of
the new President in revoking the pardon of
the Dupuys strikes one at first as a stretch of
authority, but upon reflection it appears clear
that whatever johnson might have done in the
premises may be done by his successor. The
character of our institutions does not admit of
any lapse of authority or interregnum in the
transition of executive power from one man
to another. The act of pardon being yet in
ohoate before the prisoners are released, it is
competent for the President to cancel the pa
pers. The moral effect of such determine
ton and sternness with respect to defrauders
of the revenue must be simply tremendous.

OUR MAINE REPREsENTATIvEs.-W have
spoken many harsh words concerning Mr..
Pike,the retiring member of Congress from the
fifth Maine district believing that he misrep-
resented the people of his State on one of the
most important questions that Can engage the
attention of Congress. 1t is but justice that we
should give to our readers the following extract
from letter to the Independent, written by
Mrs. Ames, the Washington correspondent
of that paper, in which Mr. Pixies personal
character and his social worth are heartily Gu
logized:
Maine recalls two members, Sidney Perham
and Frederick A. Pike, both leaving spotless
record. Long will be missed from the loor OF
the House and from social circles that good
bright, delightful man down yonder with his
hands in his pockets, his black eyes twinkliug
through his spectacles. Full of kindness, wit,
and sparkling repartee, no friend is pleasanter
to meet; and in his seat no man speaks quick.
er, clearer, truer words for all good things than
friends think it foregone conclusion that he
will be the next Speaker. Very likely. Such
men as Mr.. Blaine generally get what they
want while men like Mr.. Dawes very rarely
get what they deserve. Why? One is push
ing, the other isn't, Mr.. Blaine pulls every
available wire, touches every possible spring.
Moreover, he is a newspaper man.
like Mr.. Blaine. People generally do He is
bright, genial and talented. There is certain
elon IN his temperament quite captivating

ward, Mr.. Blaine has not He is young enough

RISE IN RAILROAD STocK.-In consequence
Of the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court making all CONT acts
pay able in coin legal, Portland, Saco,
& Portsmouth Railroad Stock has advanced
to $115 and BIG per share. This is in conse-
quence of a stipulation in the lease of that
road to the Eastern, and Boston & Maine,
Railroad companies, that the per cent which
said companies are to pay on the stock shall be
paid in gold. These companies since the price
OF gold advanced at the beginning of the war
have declined to pay except in currency, and
the matter remains unsettled. This decision.
it is presumed, will give the stockholders of
the P. s. & P. road the coin value of the lease
for the past six years as well as in the future.

Among the good points in Judge Hoar, the
new Attorney General, it may be mentioned
that he is in favor of woman suffrage.
The Pennsylvanians object to A. 7. Stewart
on the ground thai he is a free trader.
IL is rumored that if E. B. Washburne de-
chnes his appointment as Secretary of State
ne VIII be succeeded by Gen. Dix.
Inc law which forbids person engaged in
business to exercise the duties of Secretary of
the Treasury seems to be an eminently wise
and fit one, especially as applied to cases like
thatof Stewart. A man who has immense
business interests at stake which may be ia
vorably or unfavorably affected by the manner
in which the national finances are managed,
ought not to be Secretary of the Treasury.
The New York papers are all by the ears
about Gen. Grants shirt studs and the color OF
his kids, no two agreeing on those important
subjects.

Mr.. Borie, Secretary of the Navy, though a
merchant, is said to be thoroughly comversant
with maritime affairs and to know all about a
vessel from stem to stern.
If it is true that Grant proposes to make a
Massachusetts, man Collector of Customs for
New York, there is some probability that there
may be triae less stealing there than there
has been of late.
Admiral Farragut was the first citizen to
whom Gen. Grant communicated the names
