Report of Building Committee.
To to tht Hoard of Comtnillionrrs of llnil-ford
i'- i, ..'y :
Your Committee having charge of re-building
the Court House res|iertfully
report that the House is about completed.
with the exception of the Cupola. The
several items of expenditure are herewith
submitted, amounting to the sum of $!■'>,•
892.15. In addition tho Cupola is contracted
for. to lie put up of iron tor J2.SO0.
The Committee consider that it was
good economy, as well as good taste, tore-build
according to the original, elegant
architectural design. So far as any im-provements
in material or detail have
been made, the cuinmitlee availed thein-selvesof
the skillful service of A. Y. Lee,
architect, of Richmond, Va.
It was deei 1 lieat to make the roof
and cornice of metal, thereby exposing as
little wood as possible to Ore from without.
Nothing but the window frames arc liable
to lie set ou lire from the outside: and
they may be preserved by proper watch
fulness.'or. indeed, they might huru out
without substantial injury to the bililinc;.
The motal wink is nece-aarily more costly
than wood: l.nt the additional secuiily
from tire, and durability nudertbe weath-er
will in the end more than compensate
(or the additional cost.
In consideration that a wooden tower
is liable to take lire from burning material
lodging npon projections that cannot be
reached, and that numerous instances of
the kind have occurred in other towns,
the committee thought liest to construct
•.be Cupola of galvanized iron, and have
made a contract accordingly. Owing to
circumstances beyond their control, the
work could not bo got up lieforo cold
weather set in, and now cannot, probably,
be completed heforo the opening ol spring.
The iuti in.i 1, is been re arranged, with,
a view to greater convenience, larger ac-commodation,
and improved hearing.—
The latter, it is believed, may be farther
improved by curtai-is at ibe windows.
The whole work has been faithfully and
substantially doue—not with a view to
the saving of expense alone, but without
extravagance; and with a desire to er-ercise
that true economy which may lie
satisfactory to 'he puidic judgement and
taste, Bespcetl lllv submitted,

Why The South Io Poor.
The Columbus Enquirer says the
South is poor, not because we bare
less thrift or intelligence than other
section*, bnt because we do not
wisely list'onr gifts. The profits of
our labor go to enrich Europe and
the North and West. Though our
cotton money amounts annually to
hundreds of millions, it must go
abroad to pay for almost everything
we eat and wear. Perhaps a hun-dred
millions go to Europe, France
and Germany for extravagant dres-sing
and fancy goods, twice aa
much more to the West to pay for
provisions, furniture, etc. Our ag-ricultural
implement*- are nearly all
made abroad. How much goes to
Cincinnati for whiskey t now
much to Tennessee and other
Slates for guano, hay, dressed poul-try,
potk and Bolgua sausage f Why
cannot our farmers raise poultry,
and why not our butchers make as
good sausage as Tennessee or any
other State '. Thus iu thousands of
ways our profits are borne away
and we are left without money,
completely at the mercy of those
ti|H)ii whom we are dependent. It
is time our people were reflecting
seriously ii|>on their vassalage and
turning their attention to ways and
means to prevent the outflow of
money from our midst. Let us en-courage
home production in every
possible way, for only by no doing
can we hope to regain our former
position of wealth and indepen-dence.

Will of an Irish Miser
An Irishman named Dennis
Tolani, who died at Cork, possessed
of considerable wealth, in the year
1709, left a singular will, contain-ing
the following testamentary dis-positions:
-'Heave to my sister
in law four old stockings, which
will be found under my mattre.-H,
to t he right Item—To my nephew
Michael Tniles, I wo old socks and
a green uigllt-cap Item—To Lieut.
John Stein, a blue stocking with a
red cloak. Item—to my cousin,
Barbara Eolan, my old boot with
a red flannel pocket. Item—to
Hannah. my hou.-ekee|ier, my
broken water.jug." After the deatli
of the testator, the legatees having
lieen convened by the notary to be
present at the reading of the will,
each, as he or she was named,
shrugged their shoulders and other-wise
expicNsed a conlemptuoiis Jis-appointmeut,
while parties unin-terested
in the .succession could not
refrain from laughing at these ridic
Ions, not to say insulting legacies.
All were leaving the room, after
signifying their intention of re-nouncing
tln-ir bii|uests, when the
last named, Hannah, having testi-fied
her- Indignation by kicking
away the broken pitcher, a number
ol coins rolled out ol it; the other
individuals, astonished at the unex-pected
incident, began to think bet-ter
oi theii determination and re-quested
permission to examine the
at tides devised io them. It is need-less
to say that on proceeding to
the stockings, socks, pockets, &c,
soon betrayed by their weight the
value ol their contents, and the
hoard of the testators,' thus fairly
distributed, left on the minds of the
legatees a very different impression
of his worth.
' Dear eld Auut Sarah," paid a
school-girl, "donl see very well,
and last Sunday she was buzzing
aiound getting ready for church,
looking for umbrella, specs, over-shoes,
and last but not least, her
prayer book. The latter she
thought she had secured by grab-bing
something off her bureau at
the last moment, but when she got
to church it proved to be my musi-cal
box, aud the old lady, in trying
to find her place iu this uncommon
book of prayer, touched the spring,
and it went off iu fine style to the
tune of' O, Jim Along, Jim Along,
Josey.'" ^______
