The HARTFORD TURNPIKE.-A meeting to con-
slider plan tor the improvement of the Har-
ford turnpike, was held at Belair, on the Sd
inst, when the following letter from Geo. H.
Williams, ESQ, Secretary of the Turnpike
Company, addressed to II. D. Farnandis, ESQ.,,
was read:
"MY DEAR SIR: am very much obliged to
you for your letter of the 18th. 1 would have
sooner answered it, but l have taken time TO
inquire into facts, SO as to write you satisfac
tory reply.
''For your satisfaction, land deem you fair
ly entitled to know everything, and the books
OF the company are freely open to your inspec-
ton to verify any statement,) have examined
the receipts for the whole of the past year, and
this is the result:
"FrGm January LIST, 1875, to date, the gate
keepers have brought in SI2 ,3l2.26, and there
has been paid out for work and labor, (exclud-
ing all salaries gate keepers, etc, nearly So
1926. The balance has been largely con-
sumed by gate keepers pay and taxes, leaving
but small sum Tor stockholders. | am in
formed that the money paid for stone and la
Dor this very month has been Sl,2202O, and
that the gangs OF men daily at work on both
branches number twelve.
..Were it abandoned the experience from the
destruction Of the most of the Washington turn
pike shows what would become of the value of
the property binding upon it. No complaints
come from the upper branch of the road; they
chiefly emanate from the neighborhoOd of Bel
air. We have listened to everybody, adopted
everybody's suggestions, have put portions of
the road under contract to be kept by those
living upon those portions, have tried all con-
ceivable plans, aud quite ready to adopt
anything reasonable that may be recommend
ed to us by any one you will endorse as re-
sponsible advisori, in fact ready to do any
thing practicable to avoid these complaints.
''You will see from the figures that the alle-
CATION that the company receive and divide
tolls without expanding them for the benefit of
the travelling public, is without foundation in
fact"
In view Of statements made in Mr.. Williams
letter, in the truth of which Mr.. Farnandis ex-
pressed full confidence, he recommended that
the meeting select some man who will, for a
moderate sum, supervise the road.
Mr.. Hoskins thought it would not be wise to
take it out of the hands of the present compa-
ny. He approved Mr.. Farnandis's suggestion,
and thought one-half more work could be done
for the amount annually expended upon the
road, if proper supervision was made.
Tt was then moved and adopted that com.
mittee be appointed to confer with the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the turnpike company,
to arrange for carrying out the offers made in
Mr.. Williams letter, and the chair appointed
Messrs. Henry D. Farnandis, Cheney Hoskins,
John Moores, VIM. II. Waters and Henry Reck-
ord.

respected by all who knew her, and it is
supposed she was murdered by her bus-
band. The people qre very indignant
over this foul deed, and if the perpetra-
tor Of the murder is found to day be
will be dispatched at once.

A~Huiversary Exercises Last Nignt.
The Court street Cumberland Presby-
terrain church was well filed last even
ing by a large audience Of ladies and
gentlemen, enthusiastic friends of the
institution, including about two hundred
Odd Fellows Of city lodges. The exer-
cises consisted Of music, prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Boggs, an address on industrial edu.
cation by Col. L. W. Finlay, and a fnsn-
cial statement by Colonel Goyer, who
stated that there was in the treasury
some 5000, the proceeds Of festivals
given by the ladies, but intended as a
fund with which to purchase furniture
for the recent addition. He stated that
the present Indebtedness OF the asylum
is aboBt $4,000, and the running expenses
about $500 the past year. To Mrs
Doyle, President Of the Board OF Lady
Visitors, and her nevertiring assistants,
is due the gratitude of this community
for the Christian task they have taken
upon themselves. Their reward will
come in the hereafter.
The musical part Of the programme
was under the direction Of Prof. Il. F.
Schulze, who was assisted by the follow
iug ladies and gentlemen who had vol,
uuteered for the occasion: Mrs. Nora
Czapski, Mrs. P. Mcintyre, Miss Marie
Hitzfeld, Miss Katie Harmon, Mr.. B. A.
Hollenberg, Mr.. N. Petersen, Mr.. John
Legler and Mr.. P. Mcintyre.
An eloquent address was delivered by
Mayor j. Z. Flippin, which was listened
to with that attention seldom paid to
speakers on similar occasions. he com
msnced his GRAFTON by relating an Incl
dent that occurred more than twenty
years ago, and which lead to the estab
lishment Of an asylum for p~arentless AND
friendless children, and which has re
suited in the magnificent structure that
adorns the northeastern part of our city
and at present bears the name Of Leatl
Orphan Asylum. A little boy who waG
left without parental protection o.
friends, was directed to apply to Judgl
Petit, Superintendent Of Public InstruC
ton, for assistance. He approached tht
Judge, and inquired, with tremulon
voice and fearful eyes, Are you the gen
tleman who takes care Of little boys VIII
have lost their father and mother2" Tn
appeal, and the pitiful, friendless name
in which it was made, touched an
aroused the sympathies Of the human
, Judge, and steps were at once inaugr
4 rated for the future care of the homeless
orphan. Mayor Flippin depicted j
beautiful language the misfortunes of tn
little ones, ffty-four Of whom wer
/, grouped to his left, and appealed to ii
8 generosity Of the citizens of Memph
e for the maintenance ofthis noble Chart,
At the close of his address several gel
tlemen passed through the audience wit
d subscription books, but we were unabl
y to ascertain the amount subscribed.
