Mr. Krapf, from the Clock Commitee, resented the following report, which was ccepted and adopted : To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Washtenaw : The committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to purchase and put into the tower of the new house a clock and bell, beg leave to submit a final report of their proceedings : At a meeting held in May last, the Charman of the committee submitted a report in reference to the performance of the clock from the time of its being placed in the tower in October. 1878. The comparigötts were usually made by observing the bell signáis from the observatory ; but at stated times the time of the inner dial of the clock was- compared directly with the Standard time of the observatory. The result was that the maximum monthly variation was found to be only three and nine-tenth seconds, whereas the warrant pf the makers, as speiifiedin the contract, was tbr a monthly variation not to exceed ten seoonds. Accordingly your committee accepted the clock and certified (Ik proper account for payment by the County Treasurer, in accordauce with the resolution of the Board of Supervisors. Observatious of' the performance of the clock made since the date oí its deünite acceptance have shown a continuation of the excellent performance previously observed; and they establish the fact that the county of Washtenaw possesses by lar the best tower clock in the State. With proper care this clock will perform its functions, with almost unerring certainty, for a long series of years to come. All of which is respectfully sumbitted. JAMES C. WATSON, Chairman.

The husband of Mrs. Binder has a faraily of smal! children and no property. 3. Christina Langhore, sent on the lGth day of June, 1879, from the Second ward of the city of Ann Arbor. Physicians, P. W. O'Toole and John Kapp. This patiënt died after being at the asylum about two weeks. Her funeral expenses were paid by Conrad Kraptj her guardián, and fortyeight dollars and seventy cents were paid by him to the Superintendentsof the Poor to liquídate as far as it would the expenses incurred on her behalf by this county. 4. Ellen Smith, sent on the 17th day of September, 1879, from the township of Northfield. Physicians, P. W. O'Toole, John Kapp and W. B. Srnith. Miss Smith has no property. Her father, whom she lives with, is two hundred dollars. I understand that she has not yet been committed to the asylum, and no expenses have been incurred as yet on her account. 5. Dwight B. Page, sent on the 2th day of' September, 1879, from the Sixth ward of the city of Ann Arbor. Physicians, E. Wells and Donald Maclean. The friends of this patiënt have given a bond to the County Treasurer to reiruburse the county for his expenses at the asylum. 6. Jacob Geiger, sent on the llth day of March, 1779. Physicians, W. B. Smith and John Kapp. The evidente upon the hearing of this case showed that Geiger is a Germán who never naturalized, never voted, never married, and never had any permanent residence or home in the county. In the years 1872-3-5 and G he worked in Pittsüeld, In 1874 he worked in G-rand Rápido. He worked in Northfield eight months in 1877. During the greater part of 1878 and up to March, 1879, he waa insane and incapable ot choosing a residence anywhere. When adjudged insane he was at his brother's house in Northfield. It would seem unreasonable and unjust to treat his accidental pre.sence thare as a reason for chargiug his support at the asylum to the township of Northlield. It would more properly be a charge against the county as a whole. Respectfully submitted. W.D. HAREIMAN, Judge of l'robate. October H, 1879. Keport accepted and ordered spread upon the minutes.

On the ISthday of Maren, 1879, we let the jobito finish the fonr east lojnis and hall in the basement of the court-house to the lowest bidder (according to instmetionsi. to Lnick & lira, for the siitij of $449.00. The buis we received ranged from 650.QO to $440.00. On the 25th Uy of March, 1B79, we insnred the conrt-honse ;ind furniture and lixtures for the snin ot $43,000.00 on court-hou.se and 7,000.00 on furniture and fixture?, s.;0,000.uo, to the kwe#t bidders, for threeVeárs, (according to inütructions), to the following namcd instlrance corapanie?, and have natned their ajfeUtg: -v L :r - S" ?

We als. pi-ocured and put up balaustrades n the openings at the South and north porches. We bought them in Detroit for the snm of $36.38, as per bill presented to the County Clerk, for which amount he drew a order on the County Treasnrer. We nbo found it neeessary to build plank walks on all four sidesof the conrt-house. The severa! bilis were found correct, and the Cnunty Clerk drew orders on the County urer for the amounts. We also -found it necessary to remove the wooden threshholds in the basement and first story, and replaeed them with cast iron ones, for which the bilis will be presented to your honoroble board for allowanee and payment. "We also ordored other noces.sary work to be done, íor which the bilis will be presented for allowance and pavment. The iron doors for the entrance to the basement we have not ordred, beleiviag that good pine doors (imitation of iron) will answer as well, and even better, and will not cost one-quarter what iron doors will. There are other defeots in the oourthouse and other public buildings, which we leave to the Committee on Public Buildings which will be appointed by your honorable Board of 1879. All of which is most respectfully submitted. (Signed), CONRAB KRAPP, ISAAC W. S. FOSTER, Committcc on Public Buildings of 18TS-9 Tiie history of a single bean, aecidentally plantod in n gmrden at Southbridge, Mass., is traced by a newspaper correspondent, who figured out its produce for three years. The bcan was plauted in a rioh, loumy soil, and when gathered in the autuma its yield, as couuted, "was 1,515 perfectíy developed beans from a single atalk. Now, il a single bean produced 1,515 beans, and each bean produces 1,515 more, the sum total of the second years product would be 2,295,22, equal to 1,195 pounds, 597 qnaits, or 2,390 army rations, equal to 18f bushels. This would be the product of the second year. Now, f e plant this product and the yicld is the same, we have a product of 5,268,058,800,02.", beans, equal tol :7i - 890 tons, or 42,871,572 bnshela, or 548,756,068 soldiers' rationa. This third planting wonld give the stearaship Great Eastern c.)2 full ireights." Few be.-ins, however. start so woll as tliis one did! The London Economist has been compiling a statement of theanumnt of gold and silver aow lying in various banks in Europe and the 'Tivasury at Washington. The grand total ampunts to $l"400,000,000, probably the largest aggrefate ever before colfected ii thisvisile shape, and the aniount goes on increasing without check. The quantity of gold and silver in circulation all over the world is a matter of the mcrest gucsswork; but even taking the highest of these gncsses in recent discussions o.f the subject in Franco, this enormous masa which lies now locked up in a few bank-vault.s constitutos onetonth of the circulating medium of the world. +-+-■ Giïowixc. plants in tho window swecten the air of the wholc house.
