NOT A BALANCE OF A CENT.
Northern Insane Hospital Used Its En-
tire Appropriation.

The annual report of the Northern Hos
pital for the Insane was received at the
Governors Office yesterday. The appropria-
ton for its maintenance for the year was
$4,000. which has been consumed, withor'
there being balance OF cent Some or
the principal items Of expense are as fol-
lows: Salaries and wages, s40,l39.Sl; meat,

ss.sss.4s; groceries. ss,7s6.A; clothing. ST.
3s7.41 eggs. s., zoe. As; buffers, <,s0Ss3; bread
stuffs. sl,s743i. The earnings of the insti-
tuition from the sales of material and old
clothing were sl3S.63. which was paid into
the State treasury. The report does not
give any statistics, but is confined entirely
to the finances. The report of the REFORM
School for Boys was also received by the
Governor. 1t came in the form OF proof
slips. showing the pages ready TO be
printed. The work was all done by the
boys OF the school. The report shows that
during the year 163 boys were admitted and
222 released from the school. The average
number present during the year was o5s.
During the entire year there was no rep
resentation from either OF the following
counties in the school: Brown, Franklin.
Newton. Orange, Pike, Pulaski, Scott and
Steuben.
