Felsr keneFAily 70 the improved condition Of the
panpes sinee the date when the direction Of the
house was taken under the exclusive personal
supervision Of your Honorable Board. They are
now comfortably clad and express themselves as
happy and eonteniea as possible for such unfoF-
Inmates 10 Be in their dependent situation. Many
additional necessary comfJFts have been provided
for them, and the thanks Of the taxpayers as
well ~ Others must be accorded TO your HonoFa-
BILE B. ard when IL is fully understood that al
this has been accomplished at q great reduction
Of former expenses while entaiing upon your
Board and assistants much additional labor and
personal attention. As physician appointed BY
you under the late Act Of Assembly, IL has been
my pleasure 80 well as duty 10 give all the at
teniion in nv power towards the performance Of
the duties imposed upon that responsible position
and you may be assured that my aid will be At
all times cheerfnlly extended in every way you
may desire towards amelioIating the condition
Of the inmates and reducing the burden Of taxa
ton heretofore imposed upon our people for the
maintenance Of the institution. The building
has been greatly improved through your prompt
action in causing q new covering TO be placed on
the roof, thereby preventing much discomfort
and Inconvenience this Indictment season; yet
from close observation, extending through seve-
raj visits made BY me during the late extreme
cold weather, il Is obvious that other repairs
needed to render the house rs comfortable as IL
should be, and which am satisfied the known
humanity Of the people Of the county will justify
you in making the necessary expenditures for as
soon as convenient. Among the interior improve
ments needed Immediately for the promotion Of
the health and comfort Of the inmates, ] would
suggest that the old-fashioned hre-places be dis
pensed with in the several rooms and stoves be
substituted. This change, I Sun sure, will be
found also more economical, a. the quantity Of
fuel at present consumed Is enormous, with no
commensurate comforts. In conclusion, Il af-
fords me pleasure 10 bear testimony 10 the clean
illness Of the house while under the charge e
Mr.. Foxwell, the late keeper, well As the kind
ness and care on the part of the family towards
the paupers under their charge. The present
keeper having so lately taken charge, il cannot
be expected that his arrangements have been as
yet erfected so far rs 10 enable as 10 pass judg-
ment upon them. Upon examination and In
quiry OF the paupers, they all express themselves
fully satisfied with their diet and attention since
he has been in possession. ] can myself testify
10 the kind personal attention Of Mrs. Bond dur
ing tie iliaess OF the aged eolored woman who
fingered Cor several days after fatal attack OF
paralysis. Respectfully submitted,
C.. HExRY CAxACIER, Physician.

yengefuI Families.

The Oldhams and Belts live in Hardin
county, ILL.,, and rival each other in
~wickedness. There has long been g
feud between the families, and a year
ago it broke out into bloody hostilities.
A Belt was killed by an oldham in con.
sequence of a quarrel about q woman,
and after that hostilities were open and
fierce. Logan Belt, the leader Of the
Belt faction, killed Doris Oldham soon
afterward, for revenge. 1t was not long
before Logan Belts nephew wal killed
in q drunken brawl by a man whose
wife was an Oldham. The next homi.
eide was that of Doc Oldham by Logan
Belt, at an Oldham family party, into
which some of the Belts intruded in
order to force fight. Although justice
is very sleepy in Hardin county, four
murders within a few months aroused
the grand jury to action, and Logan
Belt was indicted. Several witnesses
against Belt have been fred at, one los
ing a finger; and a badly.aimed shot,
presumably fred at an Oldham, serious.
ly wounded a Belt, who was standing
close by. The trial Of Logan Belt has
been commenced, and the evidence
already shows the existence Of a secret
society among the Belts, formed for the
exterminaliou Of the Oldhams.

Our Foreign Trade:

The bureau OF statistics has just pub
lished returns Of exports and imports OF
the United States for the last fiscal year.
The aggregate Of these, exclusive OF bull
lion, was 81, 156, 900, 1874, an increase of
1924, 1913, 654 over the fiscal year 1878.
This increase consisted Of SIT, 625, 683 Of
exports and SO, 740, 600 of imports. The
exports exceeded the imports by $780,
900, 000, a greater balance of trade than
last year. The total value Of exports
was $69S, 1874. 961. The exports are
classified for the eleven months end
ing 31st May, 1879, and give some inter
esting results. Thus the value Of bread.
stuffs exported for that period was $780,
7l3, 7O7, cotton $169, 800, 434, provisions
$108, 059, $50, mineral and other oils
Sal, 925, 655. tobacco 1927, 400, IT'S, iron
and steel $12, O75, O2S, live animals $lO,-
05S, 271, wood, &C., $14. 426, 1872, 80. For
the first time in the history of the coun-
try breadstuffs supplant cotton as the
leading article OF export, but, still, the
statement is incorrect that breadstuffs
exceed in value the combined exports Of
cotton and tobacco. Provisions fell
