FOR HARTFORD COUNTY.
For the Fiscal Year Ending Sept. 30, 1876

In publishing this statement it is not
necessary to refer to the enormous debt
now carried by the Board at high rates of
interest, as all are aware of the efforts that
have been made, land hitherto without
avail) to put the debt into better shape.
The great difficulty under which the
Board labors is its inability to collect the
County tax. 1t will be seen from the state
ment that $7,313.07, or SO per cent. Of the
whole levy for 1875 is still in the hands of
the Collectors, and there is little prospect
of an early settlement.
The Boards obligations cannot be
promptly met, when the payment of its
money is delayed six or eight months be-
You'd the time specified by law.
The estimate for the current year has
been carefully prepared, and, while it is
not to be expected that the estimated BAL
ance will remain intact, no obligations will
be incurred which can not be met by the
receipts for the year.

posed by law, and feel much gratified to
find that there have been so few fragrant
violations of the law; hoping that our
county will still maintain her reputation
as law-abiding people.
We visited the Almsh0use and found t.
our entire satisfaction that tho present
keeper has fulfilled his duties in regard to
the comfort and health of the inmates
1t was in very clean and well ventilated
condition, and the inmates scem to he
happy and contentcd as far as their cond-
ton would allow. After we examined tn
different departments where tho inmates
were kept, we retired to the granary, and
there we found good supply of corn,
/ wheat and oats, more than enough to sup.
ply the wants of the institution. If We
should tell all we saw that would be OF
use to the institution, it would make our
report 50 lengthy that it might tire your
patience. All we can say, we most heart
lily recommend our present keeper and his
companion to the community as a faithful
trustworthy gentleman and lady, who have
the full confidence Of this present Grand
Jury, hoping that if we ever should be So
fortunate as to visit him again we should
find him still striving to do lis duty.
In visiting the Jail, we can say We were
very much surprised to find such miser
able place to keep cur convicts. 1t is Il
disgrace To our county, and we hope that
the time is not far distant when We will
have building that will be An ornament

THE DECLINE IN GoLD.-The Baltimore
Gazette notices as a curious feature of the
times the downward tendency of gold, and
shows that it is caused by the excess of our
exports over our imports. 1t says:
1.-THE exports of last week from the port
of New York were a little over six millions
of dollars; the imports about three and a-half
millions. Here there is II necessity for the
importation of two and half millions in
gold. This inflow of gold is due to causes
that will continue to act for a considerable
time, The permanent root of it all is econ
omy. Since the financial panic Of IA the
whole country has been economizing. Lux
uries have been curtailed, and all living eX.
penses cut down to their lowest figures; in
other words as a nation we have been saving,
and we are now beginning to reap the fruits
of our retrenchment. A people that has
once become economical does not very swift
ly relapse into extravaganza. The habits of
caution and thrift are hard to form; but
once formed, last for while Our sayings
and economies will probably he carried on
for at least several years longer, and should
we continue to harvest good crops of cor
cotton and tobacco, gold will continue to
flow into this country, We are now within
sight of resumption A good, bold push
might give it to US any day"
