Tor $4,000. The new building is wei
constructed, substantially and practically
lire proof. The machinery is of the
most approved kind and the establish
ment has been so arranged as to be one
OF the most convenient and economical
chair factories iii the country. 1t is be
lleVed that the same number of men can
turn out nearly double the number OF
chairs that could be made with the cor
veniences and machinery of the shop de.
stroyed. If that proves to be true, the
IRE will have been an advantage instead
a disaster. The total loss by the fire was
about $4,000. The Commissioner asks
an appropriation of $3.50 for current
expense account, and for payment of
debt and purchase OF stock, $55, 900. |
believe this will be the last large appro
priation which will be required for that
institution If nothing unforeseen occurs
1t will be nearly, if not quite, self sup
porting. Its affairs are ably administer
ed by Commissioner Wheeler, and his re-
port is very complete in all its details.

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
3 From the reports of the various boards
of trustees having charge of the State
charitable institutions, and from per
sonal inspection of each of them, I feel
warranted in asserting that they are all
in excellent condition; that the officers
are laboring faithfully and efficiently for
the good of those whose care devolves
upon them, and that the results attained
compare more than favorably with those
OF other like institutions throughout the
Union. "a ) tg soi
One hundred and forty four pupils re-
ceived instruction at the Institute for the
Education Of the Deaf and Dumb during
the past year. One hundred and twenty
two were present at the close of the year,
being twenty four more than ever before
at one time. Total expenditures, includ.
ing all repairs and Improvements, $685.
834 SO. Estimated expenditures for 1871,
including extensive repairs and perma-
nent Improvements, $38, 864.00. m
The Disbursement for the support of the
Institute for the Education of the Blind
amounted to $19,722 40 For the com
pletion of the new building, $22, 1853 45.
The total cost of the whole structure has
been about $155,655.00 Tt is in every
respect suitable for the purpose for which
it was executed, and will probably afford
ample room for the accomm ,dation of
the school for the next twenty years.
Sixty four pupils received instruction du
ring the past year. Estimated expendi-
lures for current expenses this year, $18,-
900 90, and for payment of Indebtedness,

excellent instruction. d h'

been well cared for In all respects.
Those in charge have endeavored to give
them a home, in fact as well as in name,
and have succeeded admirably. Nor is
this hornelgiven to them i in charity, but
as a portion of the great debt due them
from the people. The children are max
ing the most of their opportunities, and
will bring no discredit upon the state

The trustees of the Hospital for the In
sane reports the institution not only out
of debt at the time of the last fiscal year,
but with funds on hand sufficient to pay
all ypenses of the first quarter of the

been made, additional farm lands have
been purchased, and the whole property
is in excellent condition. The only OBJ
lection to the site is about to be removed
by the establishment of station within
