Conmmissioners' Court Proceedings.

’ The tax of Sarah Eckles, a. poor person, of Remington, was remitted. The Clerk of the Circuit Court was ordered to remove his office, and all books and records connected therewith, into the new frame building, back of the court house. The Surveyor and Ditch Commissioner were directed to occupy the room in the court house, just vacated by the Clerk, as an office. The taxes of Henry J. and Ellen Lewis, poor persons of Newton tp. were remitted. Calvin Coppess was appointed a constable in Gillam tp.. The Auditor was directed to procure a proper book and to makS a general index of all proceedings, 4)f whatever nature, in regard to ‘roads or bridges, contained in any . of the records in the Auditor s office. . Addison Parkinson was appointed temporary superintendent of of the poor farm, to have charge of the same during the sickness of Mr. Phillips. He is to visit the farm occasionally, has power to ■ sell all live stock upon the same belonging to the county, and must look after the welfare of the insti- . tution generally. The Board will allow him a reasonable compensation for his trouble, and deduct . the same from the salary of Mr. The present contract with ■ Spring, Emerson & Co., of Lafayette, to furnish books, stationery &c. to the county, was ordered to be renewed for one year from the sth day of next March, provided t the above firm consents to such

..renewal. . ... In the matter of dealing with the poor farm and its inmates for the next year, the Board has adopted a method which is radically different from that now in force, and which will, at least, be certain to effect a great saving to the county, and perhaps be no disadvantage to the inmates. Shelby Grant is to be Superintendent after the sth day of March.- By the terms of the contract made by him, he is to pay S4OO a year for the rent of the farm, and himself to —furinsh all tools, teams and live stock necessary to cultivate the same. He is to furnish all provisions for the inmates, board and take the necessary care of them for $2.15 per week, each. Fuel will be furnished by the county, and of ■ course, the clothing of the inmates. The contract is for the period of one year. The report of the viewers in the road case of Washington Scott, and others, in Milroy tp., was endorsed, and the highway ordered opened. It begins at the southeast corner of section 26 and runs north two miles. Its width is only 40 feet. The similar report in the road case of Joseph E. Otis, and oth--ers, in Keener tp., was also approved, and a highway beginning at the northwest corner of section 17, township 31, range 7, and running north two miles, was ordered opened. This highway is to be 60 feet wide. Eliza S. Potter, of Jordan tp., petitioned to have the line. of a highway upon her land changed and J. T. Randle, Thomas Thompson and Addison Parkinson were appointed viewers to examine and report upon the matter. John Fleming and a very large number of other residents ot Walker tp., petitioned for a highway in Walker, to begin at the northwest corner of section 26, in town- _ ship 31, range 6, and to run east four miles. Joseph F. Iliff, Malachi P. Comer and John Ryan were appointed viewers in the case. The Canton Wrought Iron Bridge Company, of Canton, Ohio, were contracted with for two more iron bridges. They are to cross the Pinkamink where it forms the boundary line between Barkley and Gillam townships. One at what is known as the DavissonviUe crossing and the other at Saltillo crossing. Both substructm es -and superstructures are to be of -■ iron, and the total cost of the first is to be $929. Of the second $995.
