The County Poor.

We have been to the poor-house. We have
seen for ourself how true were the statements
made by Mr.. Casper's committee to the Conn
ty Board. But our poor house is not poor. 1t
is the largest house in the county, and on
big farm. Thirty-foul years ago the farm was
bought by Messrs. Dewey and Barber for only
IS 90 an acre and sold to the comfy at the
same figures. There are now 220 acres of it,
and it is enc of the best farms in the county
There are 10 acres in cultivation. 1t is not a
"poor" farm.
The Superintendent, Mr.. r. Showalter has
now in his keeping AZ unfortunates He had
81 during the last year and has averaged 3S
per week. He has given these Grant County
wards, sick, lame, blind and helpless 1876
weeks board at only Sl.60 per week, and. we
presume, has made money at it. At least he de-
serves to. OF these poor creatures Beetown

81 are Americans, are Irish, one is Welsh, 2
are Swedes, 4 are Germans and one IS Can
adian. In occupation formerly were miners
carpenters, 81 IaporerS, stone masohS,
farmers and one seamstress. Five attribute
the cause of their pauperism to intemperance,
one to bronen arm, to sickness, 6 to lame
ness, s to idiocy, to blindness, to idleness,
5 to old age, to infancy and IA to insanity
OF the insane have been returned from the
State asylum as incurable. OF those now in
keeping % are males ard II females. Seven
are over 20 years of age One, Jake Augustine,
has been there off and on for about % years.
There were two deaths in the past year One
of the deceased was Alexander McMullcn,
Welshman, aged 50. The other was Bella
Rogers, an American, aged &c.
The poor house is a very nice place and
nicely kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Showalter but we
would advise any one to go to any other hotel
in the county in preference TO that.

IlrrELLs LIVING AGE For 1878. The
success of this sterling periodical is owing to
the fact that it enables one, with Il small outlay
of time and money, to keep pace with the
best thought and literature of the day. Hence
its importance to every American reader.
The ablest living contributors to periodical
literature are represented in its pages, some of
whose names will be found in the prospectus
published in another column.
1t has always stood at the head of its class,
both in the quality and quantity of the read
ing furnished and in fact it affords, of itself,
so thorough and complete compendium of
what is Of immediate interest or permanent
value in the literary world as to render it an
invaluable econmizer of time labor and money
in the multitude of periodicals of the present
time, quarterlies, monthlies and weeklies,
such publication has become almost
necessity to every person or family desiring to
keep well informed in the best literature of
the day.
For 1873, an extra offer is made to all new
subscribers; and reduced clubbing rates with
other periodicals are also given by which a
subscriber may at remarkably small cost
obtain the cream of both home and foreign
literature Those selecting their periodicals for
the NeA York, would do well to examine the
prospects in no other way that we konY of
can a subscriber be put in possession OF tbs
best which the current literature of the world
affords, so cheaply or conveniently.
