The States accounts for the fiscal
year were closed by Controller Nor
gan, who says: THE close of the
States fiscal year shows cash bali
ance in the treasury of $2,084, 891.39.
This balance is less than that of last
year, but this fact is accounted for
by reason of a receipt of over $780,
600 last year from the United States
for interest on Civil War bonds, and
the further expenditure this year of
over 100000 in Improvements and
additions to the various State insti-
buttons. There was also an increase
of nearly 100000 in the amount
paid to the various school districts
in the State for the purpose of reduc-
ing taxation.

low winding stream. on which we trav-
eled over four miles, was so narrow
that we had to hug the shore on every

many places it was just wide enough
for one boat to 60 through with out
stretched oars. The banks Of the stream
were tangle OF wild roses and feath-
cry spiraea, filling the air with pun

and water hyacinths made a patch Of
color here and there, and between this
