The STATE Prison. have receiv-
ed the annual report of the Warden Of
the State prison, for the fiscal year end
ing September 80, 1876, from which we
summarize the following matters of gen
eral interest /: During the year there
were received at the prison 156 prison
ers !; the discharges for the same period
were 1873. The number confined on the
30tL of September last was 1885, Of the
prisoners received during the fiscal year
LAT were males and females SO were
native and So foreign born 155 were
white and 1 black 146 could read,
could read but not write and 10 could
neither read nor write-only 100, how
ever, could read and write English. The
whole number of days time spent in
prison by convicts during the year
was So, 426 of which 90, 532 were unpro-
ductive and SIS, $50 productive-the bal
ance being consumed in indispensable
but not directly productive labor. 1t
has cost during the year to feed, clothe,
warm, guard, instruct and superintend
the prisoners, the sum of S34, 2O5.77, or
s.. SO each per week. The actual earn
ings Of the prisoners engaged in produc
tive industry hare averaged sixty-one
cents per day. Although there appears
on the prison account net loss to the
State for the year of 50, 129. 50, there
really has been surplus Of earnings
over expenses of $25, O78. SO but, as the
manufactures of the year are mostly still
on hand, it cannot be made SO to appear
in the accounts. The report sets forth
that the prison has now for sale large
quantity of finished goods, amounting
in value at low wholesale rates to nearly
$24, 800 The labor Of the convicts has
been applied to the manufacture of
chairs and wagons almost altogether. In
accordance with 8 law passed by the
Legislature of 1876, the Warden ad-
vertised for proposals for convicu labor,
but no proposals were received, and it
was the opinion of Hon. G. F. Wheeler,
Cd examining the law, that its provisions
were such as wonld prevent any respon-
sible party from contracting the labor.
Two RIvERs.-The Chronicle furnishes
the following items: Mr.. Henry Coed
jen. ST., who lives on the Michicott road
about three miles north of this village,
met with an accident tie other day
which renders him entirely blind. He
has been blind in one eye for about two
years and now that the sight is gone
forever from the other, she has under
gone q surgical operation, hoping to re-
stole the sight to the hitherto blind eye.
Through the kindness Of Mr.. A.
Braasch, Of Mishicott, we have received
information of the organization Of Lo-
cal Liberal League at that place. The
aim of this organization, which is
branch of the National Liberal League,
is to guard again st a union of church
and state in this country and to prevent
any further Legislative discrimination in
favor of any of the sects now in exist
ence.
