The Directors desire to be informed o.
any ill-trestment Of children bound eat
from the poor house. They should havs
the sympathy of all, and thus secure
proper treatment
OUTDOOR RELIEF.
The outdoor relief is the most perplex.
ing question the Directors have to deal
with There have been times when the
county has been greatly imposed upon,
aud other times. perhaps. when reliel
was refused when il should have been
granted.
The relief granted TO various persons
in the county was only a few hundred
dollars less than that granted by the Di-
rectors ofthe Poor of Allegheny county,
with ten times greater population We
have tried to do what WAS right To all
parties in granting relief Many were
refused who applied while some are de
serving of relief who have not applied.
Idleness is akin to poverty, and from this
class more frequently comes the call for
relief Relief ASKED for on account of

Many apply and freely take relief, bot
when asked TO come to the Home they
refuse this is a mistake
Many of the people of the county do
not have half the comforts at their homes
that the inmates of the Poor House have
Those who are wholly dependent on
others and want relief should be required
to come to the Home, and this is notice
10 all such hereafter who apply for re-
lief and who are dependent, to come at
once TO the Poor House.
( INMATES.
During the year there was an average
Of seventy-four inmates in the Home.
They were all made comfortable, and
very few complaints were heard, and
these only run those who are old and
greatly afflicted with the Ills of life
Good beds and comfortable rooms are
provided, and wholesome food in abund-
anee prepared. A large hospital room is
badly needed for the male inmates which
will be especially provided for in the
erection of the new building.
REEIGIors SERVICES.
During the year there were regular
services once each month By Elder Val
entiHe Blough, who also offciated at the
funerals. His services were rendered
gratuitously, for which the Directors, as
we'll as the public return their thanks
DEATHS.
There were twelve deaths at the Home
during the year. All, with but two ex-
ceptions, had reached ther allotted time,
trtee score aud Sen years, and when Z. =,
summons came it was welcome visitor.
