A letter from Warren County, KY, to
the Franklin Patriot says: This child,
girl, was four years of age on the Goth
dag OF last March. She weighs one
uundred pounds, measures eighteen
incnes across the chest, and is four feet
eight and oue-half inches high. There is
Il thick growth Of hair covering her en-
Tire body, while her face is covered with
whisker, including a mustache. Up to
about eighteen months ago she was a
healthy girl. Az about tnat time her
body became very hot and was covered
with heavy perspiration, lasting tol
several days.
The ouor occasioned by the perspira
ton was very offensive, and within
ilteen minutes after being cleanly
dressed her body and clothes would be
come saturated as if by some black
colored liquid When the perspiration
ceased the hair began growing, only
leaving the soles OF her feet and the
palms of her hands bare. Her voice at
tanned a remarkable depth, sounding as
| though 1t came from the inside of u bar
| rel. Her strength is astonishing. Sht
can carry her ten-year-OlI sister under
her arm with apparent ease, and hel
mother states that the culld actually
does not know her strength. Tle state
| ments herein made are strictly true
and, If necessary, the testimony OF the
child's parents and many people lvnt
in the neighborh0od can be produced
for corrobOraton.

GRAND RAPIDS. WIS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29 1877
Secretary of States Report,

The annual report of Hon. Peter
Doyle, secretary of state, for the yeal
ending September Both, 1877, has been
received. The report is a complete ex-
hibit of the financial condition of the
state, including the management of the
school, swamp, and other public lands.
Many pages of interesting statistics and
a full history of all the trusts of the
state, among which are the educational
funds, the West Wisconsin, North Wis
cOnsln, Sturgeon Bay, Fox and Wiscon-
sin River improvement, Rock River
canal and other land grants, military
road grants, etc The following rail
road companies have been incorporat-
ed, under the laws of 1872, within the
past year: Beef River Valley railroad
company; Fond du Lac, Wausau and
Lake Superior railway company
Forest Home railroad company.
The secretary, in accordance with law,
estimates that the expenditures of the
year, commencing January 1, 1879, will
be 1886, ,9S3.36, to meet which he es-
Inmates revenue of$661 1886, leaving
1925, ,795 to be provided for by the next
legislature.
The purposes for which taxes were
levied for the year 1876, are as follows :
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1877-11-29

In relation to the state finances the
secretary says:
In the last report of this Office, refer
ence was made to the constitutional
and legal provisions which relate to the
providing Of revenues TO defray the eX-
penses of the state, and the fact that
appropriations made by the legislature
in excess of the estimates for eXpendi-
lures sometimes render it necessary to
temporarily use some of the trust funds,
was also referred to. Hence it need
only be said here, that similar causes
will doubtless make it necessary to use
some of such funds for the
payment of general expenses during
the last quarter of the present year, the
balance in the general fund on the Both
of September having been only So
OHIO, and it not being probable 'that
more than few thousand dollars will
be received into the treasury during
the quarter And it may be proper to
say here that appropriating IN excess
of the estimates has not been the only
cause of the small balance III the gen
eral fund at the close of the fiscal year.
Owing to the great depression of busi-
ness that has existed for some time past
the receipts from railway and insurance
/ companies, and from some minor
sources, have been less than the esti-
mates of such receipts.
BY referring to the senate journal
of 1876, page $50, it will be seen that
the receipts from railway companies
/ for the present year were estimated at
/ 100000, while the actual receipts
have been only $3.50, 1926, including
the sum of $2,904.06 due from the pre-
ceding year. The receipts from taxes
/ to be paid by insurance companies were
estimated at S65,000, while the actual
receipts up to the close of the fiscal
year have been only S47 ,113. .46, and the
amount to be received during the COM
ing quarter will be very inconsider-
able
1t will thus be seen that the aggregate
receipts from the sources named, after
deducting the amount of railway license
! fee due from the preceding wear, as
than the estimated receipts from such
sources made by the legislature of
/ 1876, and which at the time seem
/ oU quite Go3SOnaDle. Inc f6CelptS
from miscellaneous sources have also
been somewhat less than the estimates
made at the same time. Besides this,
chapter 245, laws of 1877, provided for
apportioning to the several counties in
which the lands owned by the West
Wisconsin railway company were locat-
ed, on the condition set forth in said
acts, so much of the license fees re-
ceived from said company as should
amount 70 sum not exceeding two
and a half cents per acre for the lands
of said company, which were exempt
from taxation in such counties. The
amount paid under this act was
81, ,S26.16.

ceipts from railway companies in detail

HARLAN TO BE CONFIRMED.

Dispatches of Nov. 24th from Wash
ington say the indications tonight are
that Gen! Harlan will be favorably
voted on tomorrow by the senate Judi
clary committee, and that the anti-ad-
ministration republican senators who
have endeavored to defeat his CON
tirmation will themselves be defeated.
1t is reported that Christiancy holds the
balance of power in the committee, and
will give the casting vote fop Haplan.
THE REPEAL BILL,
WaShinntnn cnnoiale Of taa-aao say
the house has been voting all day upon
the various amendments to the bill to
repeal the resumption act. Forts
amendment, which had been accepted
by the committee, was adopted by the
house. 1t merely repeals the time
clause of the act. This great bugbear
is now out of the way, and the house is
now ready to adjourn, there being no
business on the calendar, but the dem
ocrats in the senate will not allow an
adjournment, as long as they have q
majority, until Butler is seated. Many
mealbers of the house have paired on
political questions and are leaving for
their homes, to remain until the regu-
lar session, which begins one week from
Monday.
THE VOTE.
The following is the vote on Forts
amendment by states.

store its legal tender character.
Be it enacted, etc, that there shall be

THE recent successes of the Russian
armies have caused great excitement
in England, and the talk of war is now
stronger than ut any previous time since
the beginning of the conflict between
Russia and Turkey 1t seems to be
nearly certain that England will not
permit Russia to take Constantinople,
and Russia cannot capture the Turkish
capital if England defends it with her
navy

congress

THE news from the seat of war i'll Ar
menia and Bulgaria affords but little
hope for the Turks. In the Armenian
country the Russians are marching on
Erzeroum, the capital of Armenia, with
seemingly little opposition. Mukhtar
Pasha, who did such wonderful service
for the cause in the beginning of the
war, has lost all confidence in himself;
he is reported to have already evacuated
Erzeroum and is making for the Black
Sea coast for protection, and the few
soldiers he yet has with him are in no
condition to fight even if they were
willing to do so. In word, the whole
of Asiatic Turkey seems to be at the
mercy of the army of the Grand Duke
Michael In Bulgaria the Turkish cause
is little less discouraging. Russian re-
Inducements are pouring in at Il rate of
5000 day, and some estimates place
the whole Russian force operating in
Bulgaria at $4,000. This is probably
far too high, but it is evident that the
Russian force is three to five times that
of Turkey. Osman Pasha is completely
surrounded at Plevna, and his surrender
is daily expected, while the Turkish
forces without are utterly powerless to
render any assistance. A great battle
is likely to occur at or near Plevna al
any time, but even if the Turks gain {
victory, which they will not probably
do, it will not delay the end of The
struggle in that region very long. Un
less other powers interfere, the wal
must soon end in Russias favor.
