- TOn6th0r With YOUR cOmmlLtee, ap-
pointed for that purpose, I have spent
the four days allowed me in examining
the books and accounts of the various
connty off,cers. and have also examined
fhe bonds Of said officers. and have the
honor of submitting the following report !:
We examined minutely the accounts Of
the Clerk of Court and Probate Judge
and note with pleasure the accuracy and
business-like manner in which they are
kept. There are many old estates unset
tied in these offices, and we recommend
that, in cases where they can be reached,
these officers correspond with the parties
interested therein, in order to make final
settlements and clear the books.
In the Clerks office we find that the
Sessions papers ares not provided with
cases and are in dangRrof becoming mis-
placed or confns md we recommend
that the Clerk beHupptied with cases for
these papers,. Some eofthe books ofrecord
need rebindiDg and the Clerk should be
furnished with funds for that purpose. :
On account of the limited time allowed
we made only partial examination of
the books Of the other officers, but, by
skipping from point to point and exam
made what We deemed fair test. and
found nowhere any Indication ofshortage.
At the Superyisor's office we found that
the accounts and vouchers were neatly
KENT in bundles. but no system of books
having been adopted for this office. and
the number of claims presented and ap-
proved being very great, we deem it i'm.
neratiye that special system of books
be provided for said Office.
Our " ork in the Treasurer's Office was
greatly facilitated by the business-like
manner in which the accounts were kept,
and we found all funds. so far as our in
vestipation Indicated. properly accounted

One of the most puzzling matters pre-
sented IN us in .he offices Of the Treasu-

The amount of funds passing through

but owing to the fact that no separate

could be ascertained only by an exami-

presentment Of the Grand Jury.

10 His Honor. Jumes Alirich, Presiding
The grand jury begs leave to submit
+ the following report:
s AT the last term of the Court we ap-
pointed committee, consisting OF Nj. L.
Brock,J. &C. Hamlin, s. l.. Eskew and
James G. Riley, with b. u. Watkins:
Esq, as exp pert to examine the books OF
the county officers, and we herewith
submit the report Of the expert which we
have duly examinedsand approved.
We have by committee examined the
the county poor house and find the
grounds and buildings properly Kept and
the inmates properly cared for.
Another committee has examined the
Jail and find some improvement in the
cleanliness with which it is kept, but the
building is in such condition that it
seems impossible to rid it of an offensive
odor and of the pest of body lice which!
have gotten into the walls.
We have partially examined the books
of the trial justices, but being unable to
complete our work satisfactorily at this
time, have requested that they transfer
to the new books, with which they are
supplied, all cases issued or heard since
the first day January of the present year,
and have said books before us at the next
term of Court. We learn from the Au-
ditors Office that only one trial justice in
the county, ]. Jameson, Esq, makes, as
required by law, monthly returns offines
collected.
We have passed on all bills handed US
| by the Solicitor. We find that tits matter
| Of frequent occurrence that cases are sent
to this Court by trial justices on frivolous
and insufficient evidence, and we recon-
| mend that greater care be exercised IN
order that the county may not be put to
unnecessary expense.
We are pleased to note that the County
| Board of Commissioners has passed a
resolution indorsing the recommendation
made in our last report as to new Court
House and Jail.
| The grand jury has had under consid-
Grafton the question of bonds OF the sew
eral county officers, and we recommend
that mem bers of the Legislature repre-
senting this county introduce bill re-
| quiring our county officers to be bonded
by some reliable surety company recon-
mended by the Comptroller General.
| Certain matters demanding investiga-
ton beyond the time which the grand
| Jury feels it car reasonably give, coming
before Us, and it being impossible to OBJ
| tain all the information desired during
| the sitting of the Court, we have appoin-
ted a special committee to investigate and
take such action as may to them and the
| Solicitor seem best.
In conclusion we desire to thank his
Honor the presiding Judge, the Solicitor,
and the various officers of the Court for
.courtesies shown and the assistance they
rendered US in the performance of our
| duties. We desire further to express our
thenks to FL. E. Watkins, Esq, the ex-.
pert appointed to examine the books OF
The county officers, for the valuable aid
| he has given us in our work.

CONGREGATIONAL STATISTICS.

I'm. Comstock, the state secretary
of the Congregational churches, con
! tributes to the Vermont Missionary
his figures for the year.
Reports have been received from all
the churches in the state except Ply
mouth, and the returns have been
tabuIated and forwarded to the edi-
tor of the Yearbook. Following
are the main facts OF the summary:
There are 203 churches, OF which
80 have pastors installed by council,
10 pastors uninstalled; ID supplies,
II others are ministered to by unor-
dained men or ministers OF other
denominations, and % are vacant.
This is an unusually good record
The admissions to the churches i'll
1894 were /, 020 by confession and
56S by letter,-total, 1883. This
number has been exceeded but three
times in more than fifty years.
1867, 1875 and 1886, The present
membership is now u 1874, the larg-
est total which find reported since
1916. The removals were Ala by
death, 593 by letter, and 100 by dis
cipline and revision,-total 1857
This is larger than any number re-
ported until last year, the number
then being abnormal in the large
number of names disappearing by
revision of roll. The net gain in
membership is 1868.
The infant baptisms were 300,
and adult, 600; the number of adult
baptisms being last exceeded in
1856, and those of infants in 1858.
There are 1922 families reported,
the largest figure since taatitem was
called for. Benevolent contributions
naturally show the effects OF the
hard times, but the total, $54, 1884,
is only $468 less than last year.
Home expenditures reach $205, 1886,
an increase Of So, $50 from last year,
this increase being partly due to
greater number of churches giving
information on this point. Sunday
school membership is q ,693, an
increase of $40, and average attend
ance 1925, an increase of 766.
There are 1855 members Of Chris
tian Endeavor societies, gain of
AT. These figures give no reason
for despair of Vermont.

POST OFFICE STATISTICS.

The fiscal year of all the post offices
ends on March 81 and the statistics
ofthe business of the year are sent on
to Washington at that time. We
are indebted to Postmaster Bundy
for the figures here given. The table
shows the total receipts of the Office
from the sale of stamps, envelopes
and postal cards and box rentals.
1t is given by quarters and the quar-
ter OF the year previous is also given.
For the quarter ending January. 80,
1894, there was falling off in re-
ceipts of about $500 as compared
with the same time year previous.
1t was in this period that the town
felt the financial depression most Sc
verely and the table is therefore a
thermometer of the business of the
last two years.
