accounts of the sheriff and clerk were
examined for the fiscal year 1876, and
found correct In every particular.
The thirteenth final cial statement,
printed for distribution, showing the re-
cerpts from all sources to be 800, 1857;
the amount of commissioners orders paid
and road vouchers to be $lO2,265.S7,
leaving balance due the
sheriff of $2,O70.70, juno l, 1877,
the over draft was occasioned by the
heavy rains OF August 7, 1876, damaging
culverts, roads ard small bridges, and
the ice brake of last winter, which
damaged the Fulton bridge, in all some
$1,000, otherwise there would have been
small surplus of $1,000. We think
the present levy will meet this deficiency.
