Report Of Visitors to the Poorhouse.

We the undersigned visitors, appointed
by order of court, to visit and report to the
said court upon the condition and manage
ment of the House of Employment for the
Poor Of Perry County, beg leave to submit
the following report That in pursuance of
the said appointment we visited and exam
ined into the management of said poor
house for the past year. We find that there
is an apparent cleanliness in and about the
house, but on close examination find that
the beds are literally polluted with bed-bugs,
and that the inmates suffer from that pest.
The inmates appear to be kept under
very severe discipline, and are rather harsh
ly treated for very trifing offences. The
diet is, in some respects, not of as good
quality us the expenses of the house might
warrant, with the exception of the bread,
which is good and well-baked, but the mo-
lasses is of the poorest quality, and seems
to be the only spreading matter used during
the week. The coffee is of the domestic
kind, except perhaps on Sabbath, and the
working portion of the inmates have not
sufficient victuals upon which to labor, and
we think meat of some kind ought to be
given at regular meals. We find that for
some years past considerable extra pay has
been allowed the steward, but we cannot
see the necessity for this increase of expen-
Ses Wnen tnefe is no corresponding lm-
provement in the quality or quantity of
the victuals dealt to the paupers; and in re-
gard to the lime burning, the county pays
for the coal, and the work is mostly done
by the paupers and the county team. 1t
appears that the directors of the poor have
increased the salary of the steward 800 in
contemplation of keeping the paupers in
shanties during the building of the new
poorhouse, but it is now decided that the
old poorhouse remains until the new one is
built. Therefore the cause for raising the
salary has ceased, and the 800 ought not
to be paid. We further report that the
steward keeps by times more than one
extra horse, and he ought to keep that at
his own expense, and not by the county.

4 Strange CAT.

The keeper of a beer saloon in New York,
named Henry Ahrens, has the most singu-
lar specimen of cat ever seen.
Its head and shoulders are perfect, and
it has two muscular fore legs. From the
shoulders the cat tapers off in the shape
Of an elongated funnel, to the end of
which is attached fine tail constructed
in the usual order Of cat architecture. If
seals and eols were common visitors in
Fulton county, this animal might be de-
scribed as a triple cross of a seal, an eel,
and a cat Mr.. Ahrens has been offered
$3.50 for the cat, and his place has been
visited by numerous medical men and
many others anxious to see the curiosity !;
and as nearly all Of the visitors call for a
glass Of beer before they 90, the cat has
been a source of revenue to Mr.. Ahrens.

Interesting to Druggists. Alfred
Pleasanton, the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner, has recently decided that tho repeal
of the special tax on apothecaries by sec
ton first of the act of Congress of July ID,
1870, renders them subject to just the
same liability as any other person what
ever, for the sale of distilled spirits,
wine or liquors in any quantity, and
without reference to the purposes for,
Or manner in which they are sold. The
Commissioner decides that the act of July
II, 1870, abolishes the exemption hereto
fore provided for the apothecaries, under
paragraph thirty-three, section seventy
nine, of the act of Congress of June 30,
1864. This paragraph, which, it is decided
has been repealed, provided that apo theca-
ries who had taken out license as such
should not be required to take out license
as retail dealers in liquor in consequence of
selling alcohol. Under this decision it
would appear that apothecares, after April
30th, must take out license as retail dealers

Malicious ShootIng.-on Monday of Ii


Malicious SllOOtlng.-0n Monday of last
week youth named JamesA mold, shot a
valuable COW, w,belonging TO Jacob Casner, of
Manayunk, because she got into his (Ar-
nold's) mothers wheat feld The cow
died from the wonndsa few days after
ward. AS Arnold's fences were broken
down, and the COW, therefore, could not
help trespassing, there was no possible ex-
cuse for the boys conduct. Mr., Casner ac-
cordingly had young Arnold and his moth
er both brought before Justice Elberty,
who bound them over to answer at court.
They had considerable difficulty in obtain
ing bail, and for while the young man
pOndered painfully the prospect of going to
jail. He knows by this time. that shooting
other peoples COWS, even upon ones own
land, is not exactly either neighborly or
lawful. Mr.. c., we believe, has also brought
civil suit for the value of the COW, and
will, of course, recover Letcistoon Demo-
