RERoRS SCHOOL PoR dIRLs
The Glrls' Reformatory at White Sulphur
! Springs contains lorty-nine inmates, and IL is
now demonstrated that the number is likely TO
increase as rapidly as the welfare Of the insti.
tuition will allow. Whatever doubts may
have been reasonably entertained, as to tho ne.
cessi!y OF such an Institution, prior to its es-
tublishment, the report of the Directors and
| Superintendent. and thorough investigation

the institution is very important one, and

SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME.
The report OF the Superintenacnt and Trus-
tees Of tho Soldiers Orphans Home will en-.
gage your earnest attention. The duty of pro-
viding for the education and support of tho
children OF the soldiers Of Ohio who fell in tine
war Tor the Union, was fully recognized by
the resolutions and acts of your last session
IL Is not doubted That your action was Ia &C.
cordance with the will of the people of the
state, and they earnestly desire that the duty
oi caring for the soldiers orphans shall lie
performed in manner that will worthily ex-
press the affection and gratitude with which
tncse wards OF the State must ever he regard

ton deemed necessary Ivy the Board and OH
GERS IN charge of the institution be- enacted as
promptly as practicable.
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Tho report Of the Geological Survey, to he
lhid before you, exhibits the encouraging pro-
gress OF that work. The future growth ot
Ohio, in wealth and population, will depend
| largely on the development of the mining and
manufacturing resources of the State. Here.
tofore, our increase in capital and numbers
has been chiefly due to agriculture Import
ant as that groat interest will always be in
ONO. the recent census shows that we may
not reasonably anticipate, in future, rapid
growth in population or wealth, from agricul-
ture alone. Without calling in question the
/ great and immediate benefit to accure TO agri-
! culture from the geological survey, it is yet
true that the tendency of its exhibition of our
| vast mineral wealth, is TO encourage the en-
plnyment OF labor and capital in mining and
manufacturing enterprises Let the work be
continued and sustained by ample appropria,
| ton.
