We have not felt called upon to ex-
anime the vouchers for the disburse-
ments from the several funds, other
than the County Fund, as the report is
not sufficiently in detail to enable us
to do so without occupying more time
than we could well give to the matter.
1t is to be presumed, however, that a
considerable portion of these funds has
been disbursed in detail by other Boards
and local authorities, and for which
they are responsible.
We think. however, that your Board
should have detailed, so far as disburse-
ments have been made through the Aud
itor's Office on your orders, the pay
ments from Bridge and Road Funds, as
we find difficulty in determining what
disbursements are chargeable under the
law to these funds, and what are prop
erly chargeable to the County Fund.
The law isnot always clear as to what
fund should be resorted to in making
certain payments, but too much care
can not be taken in preserving sacred
the taxes and other revenues raised for
the several distinct funds. The danger
is, we a%pprehend, that the general
County Fund will be made to pay charg-
es against other funds, some of which
are local in their character.
We. find the vouchers on file in the
Auditors Office without sufficient class
ification, and deficient, in many in
stances, of proper Endorsement.
We recommend that the vouchers for
each fund be kept, as far as practicable,
separate, and that each voucher be cor
respondingly numbered with the order
or orders issued thereon; and that when
more persons than n are entitled to
payments, as shown BY a single paper,
a separate order be drawn in favor of
each person instead of the custom ofin-
Guiding in a single order to M person
money belonging to another Or others.
1t may be more convenient to pursue
the custom alluded TO, which has exist
ed for several years, but to guard against
mistakes and PRESERVE H PROPER Ev-
IDENCE OF PAYMENT TO THE RICH PER-
son, the course we recommend we think
preferable.
These vouchers, so numbered, should
be carefully filed in the order of num-
Der, so that a particular voucher may be
conveniently found when needed, and
not require a whole box full to be OPEN
ed and looked over to find a particular
one.
In the vouchers for payments to AS
SCISSORS we find no Irregularities, except
that in some instances the Assessors die
not make oath to their services, or, il

1t will be observed that APPARENT
LY and judging from the VOUCHER
ALONE, his second quarterly payment
is $500 in excess of the amount al
lowed by said act. Mr.. o., however,
explains that $500 of this payment
was for making out monthly reports
of the proceedings ofthe Commission
ers for publication. The vouchers
should so state.
Mr.. o. also drew Aug. IL, 1876, for
services as per Oren Fee Bill special
taxes on Roads, $350,40
This act allows for this, but the on
ly suggestion we make is that the &C
count should be itemized to show
QUANTITY of work done.
The law allows for making out tax
es on each and every description, lot
or parcel of land sought to be assess
ed and taxed on the duplicate for i'm
proved roads, freepikes and bitches,
ten cents. No doubt the Commits
sioners were satisfied the amount was
correct.

services as member ofBoard of Equal
ization 3 days at So per day, SO.
Sec. 80 of the Tax Law (Sw. and
Or. 1850 is the only provision oflaw,
which we can find, fixing the PER
DIEM of members of County Board OF

sum as the Commissioners may allow,
not exceeding TWO DOLLARS for each

while sitting as members of the Board

AGRICULTURE IN THE UNITED

Agriculture, which lies at the founda-
tion Of all other industries, is not apt to
be exposed to sudden fluctuations, save
from unusual causes. and whatever NAV
be the case with other forms of business,
the tiller of the soil is likely to have
something always to do, and to get fair
reward for doing it. At the time for the
data for the census of 1870 were compil-
ed, there were 2 100000 farms in the
United States and Territories, and it has
been estimated that not far from one-hali

The reported strike of over four thou
sand miners in the Schuylkill region en-
braeing the Mahanoy and Shenandoah
valleys and said to be extending through
out the whole region is without founda-
ton and is false. These reports
emanate through hired emissaries
sent into the Schuylkll region

culated for the purpose of creating dis
contentment among the Schuyikill min

bv the Newport artillery and the Prov

Lord" (Mendelssohr.) ""Fairy Ship
Choral" "hallelujah," md Sweet Bye

quisi e, and ELECTED the most rapturous
demonstra ions Of applause.
Gov. Vanzandt said: Ladies and gem
tlemen, sometimes upon summer night
stars come out like jewels. and We think
they are bright, and the moon rises and
We regard it as p ,ssing fair, but at sun
lise We forget all the r. st, and now the

aisle. After the President left the hall
Mayor Doyle introduced Mrs. Hayes 10
the children, and her bow was responded
to with perfect ovation OF applause.
OF all the testimonials of Rhode Island
to the President this greeting of the
school child was perhaps the most
pleasant and thoroughly successful. The
presidential party returned to their car
riag.s, and were escorted by the militia
ry 10 the Dexter training ground, where
the entire division of the Rhode Island
militia was assembled under the COM
mand of Major General VIM. X. Walker
