Mr.. Stcne and His Remarks"

Mr.. Stone, well known and excellent
Christian gentleman, belonging to one OF
the Murray Hill churches in New York
city, was up in the country one summer,
and learning that an evening prayer-meet.

Mr. Stone, willing to do what he could,

best of his ability. No sooner had be

Undismayed by this commentary on his

meeting proceeded as usual.

Somebody, who does "not wish to shield

Somebody, who does "not wish to shield"
the overseer Of the poor, says that il he,
the overseer, had "employed the same bus
"iness sbrewdness that the former overseer
did" "his accounts would have shown
some $1,000 disbursed in excess of last
"year." Granted if you please. The very
thing that the town complains of is, that
the present overseer of the poor is not pos
sessed of ''business shrewdness." He is
not to blame for the lack of it but then,
its want disqualifles him for the position he
occupies, and which he iseeks to retain.
But the statement is not true in fact
Taking the overseer's own figures, saying
nothing about the over s., 900 expended in
defiance of law, or the $4,000 or more of
withheld bills-and he has expended for
only eleven months of the year 81 ,O45 so,
while the same class of bills of the former
overseer for the year were only $7,469.44
so that it cost the town $3,576. 38, or
nearly fifty per cent, more for eleven
months this year than for the whole Of last
year-and the clothing item is included
in last years expenses but not in those for
the eleven months this year.
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-21

The overseer of the poor's especial advo-
cate and defender says that the town house
" with from thirty to forty inmates, besides
" furnishing supper, lodging and breakfast
Ito 1876 impostions known as tramps, was
" run at an expense to the town of 49,
" 359 CO." We have no means of knowing
whether these figures are correct or not,
but assuming that they are, we might re.
ply that the overseer of the poor had nc
business to give supper, lodgings and
breakfasts to "impositions, and that he
was placed in Office to prevent the town
from being imposed upon. But to treat
the matter seriously, it is enough to say
that the town of Pittsford entertained 1886
tramps and that the entire expenses of the
town, above receipts from the town farm,
including "repsirs," Stock" stools,
clothing," etc., was only $5O9.oS, while
that of the town of Rutland, on the over
seer's own showing, were $40, 4006 Com
ment would seem unnecessary.

for labor, which is q trifiing matter az a
goodly amount of it was done by the in
mates. or calling the labor at rough esti-
mate at $3.50, will leave $2l4.50 as net
gain to the town.
The overseer would call attention to the
large amount expended for rents and fuel
for the year. Many families are occupy
ing apologies for houses wholly unsuitable
for human habltations, cold, cherries and
requiring great amount Of fuel, and yet
landlords neglect to repair them, but are
very tenacious of their quarters rent-this
Is not as 1t should be.
There has been great deal Of sickness
among those receiving help, caused no
doubt by exposure and insufficient food
and clothing, and many have received
medical aid and medicine whose names are
not in this report.
1t will be noticed also the seemingly large
amount expended for furniture, beds and
clothing for the house. This could not
well be avoided, as families and individuals
flocked there, and without exception, they
came in destitute condition, not change
even in their tattered garments, and had to
be clothed from their under garments out
wards, not only from necessity but decen-
cy. The clothing has been for comfort
not extravagant.
There have been two births and four
deaths at the farm the past season-the
deaths from the infirmities of age. There
were twenty at the farm the first of last
March, and forty-three have been admitted
since. There are now, February 10, forty
six, many aged and lnflrm. who will make
this their last earthly resting place. There
have been twelve buried outside of the
farm OF the towns expense. Some of the
deaths have followed a long, lingering sick
ness, and, consequently large expense to
the town. A tri1le might have been saved
by moving them 10 the farm, but humanity
dictated that they should spend their last
days surrounded by kindred and friends,
for there Is no hand like a mothers and
sisters to smooth dying pillow.
1t will be seen that the sum of three hun
dred dollars and more was paid for hay,
grain, etc., for the farm before anything
could be realized from the crops to cay
nothing of the large amount for breadstuffs,
meat and groceries for the house.
There has been raised on the farm the
past season 90 tons OF hay, $50 baskets Of

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Tho excessive length of the Presi
dents Message, added to the fact that
bnt few OF our readers would be pleased
by IFS perusal, has made us deem it best
not to give il publication in our columns.
Placed il. the position of antagonism
with his own party, BY his policy of pae-
ifieation towards the South, his situation
Is, by no means, an enyiable one. The
adverse posture Of affairs has not, II
seems, caused any change in the opin-
ions OF the President. On the contrary
he rises superior to the narrow-minded-
ness of his party, and re.asserts those
principles which have so largely and
happily contributed to the prevailing
peace in our section.
The message takes statesmanlil1e
view of all the questions Mt present be
fore the country, and to oil those who
take an interest in the affairs Of the ma
ton, we commend its careful perusal.
