Being in an easy position, financially, the Commissioners thought proper to make some , needed improvements, and, conse quently, the court room, has been repaints ed, changes made in the sheriff's office and the grand jury room, and a contract award- ea lor the erection of an iron bridge over 1 1 Smith's Creek, which, when completed, will be an ornament to this section of the State, a great convenience to the citizens living in Cape Fear township and the coun ties adjacent to New Hanover, and a great saving in the cost of repairs to the old wooden bridge to the county. The public roads have also received the attention sof the Commissioners, a wooden trunk having been placed alongside of the old Nsw Berne road, at or near St. Thomas Catho lic Cemetery, (where the road washes badly during heavy rains) to lead the surface wa ter into the creek in a direct line. Oak Grove Cemetery, near the southeastern sec tion of the city, owned by the county and used for-burying the pauper dead, has neen enlarged, tne fencing ana trees neatly whitewashed and the grounds cleaned by removing all dead leaves, &c., therefrom. This, Board, or any member thereof, is cordially invited to visit the said cemetery and inspect it. Public buildings are in as good condition as could be expected, for time is beginning to tell upon them, and some are becoming dilapidated. la regard to tne roor Mouse, l will use the language of a Grand Jury that recently visited it: "The Grand Jury .visited the Poor House and House of Correction and found the premises and buildings in admirable condi tion, and the unfortunate poor well cared for. We made a careful examination of the department allotted to the insane and are convinced that most humane and rea sonable care is exercised in their behalf ; the sleepiBg apartments, store room and dining room were visited and each found to be in fine order." A standing invitation is extended to the Board of Magistrates to visit this institu tion and see for themselves how it is con ducted. A large number of the poor of the county (not in the poor house) have been assisted, as'far as the fund would per mit, with food, medicine and the services of a physician. The county has no floating debt, as the expenses are paid monthly. The bonded debt is the same as stated in my last report, $0,100, and the amount stated in said re port, $6,665, set apart to meet said debt when due, has been increased to $7,000, as is evidenced by a certificate of deposit of the First National Bank, bearing 4 per cent, interest. Having furnished each of your workships with a detailed statement of the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year and the tax levy necessary to meet the same, a more extended report-is not necessary. Very resp'tf'y, your ob'd't servrt. Horace A. Hasg, Chairman. ; The report was received and adopted. ! 'Justice J. D. Taylor moved that the tax levy be adopted., Pending the motion, in response to an in quiry, Mr. Cnairman isagg explained that last year there were no capital cases tried by the Criminal Court, while during the one term just closed there were four -cap ital cases, entailing upon the county for witnesses and jurors an expense of $600. He therefore made no change in his esti mate on account of one-half of the burden of the Criminal Court being assumed by Mecklenburg county, thinking it better to over-estimate than to under estimate. The motion of Justice Taylor was then put and carried. . j The next thing in order was the election of a Board of Education. Several names were put in nomination. A ballot was taken, Justices C. H. Rob inson and W. M. Poiason . having been de signated as tellers, and the result was as follows: H. A. Bagg. . . , . .... 25 B. G. Wortlu..t- 33 E. L. Pearcej.:...v..f .., 22 J. A.

' ' ' ' ' Base Ball Blatters. I The wet weather has proved disastrous to base ball, having stopped games not only in this State but in all parts of the country.! The games played in this State thus far compare well with those played in other leagues and associations. The scores this season have' as a rule been large. ; A correspondent, writing to the Raleigh News and Observer from Oxford, says: "The Oxford Base Ball Club, while it has not succeded as. yet in winning a game in the League, has made a most remarkable batting record. The Club has! played two games with the Raleighs, and two with the Wilmingtons.two of which were ten inning game. The Oxfords made in these four games a total of 63 hits and 48 runs, to 66 of all the clubs combined. This Club has one of the highest-priced batteries in the South engaged, and those who think they will have easy victory when Oxford goes on the road are vastly mistaken." . j The following, says the Newe and Obser ver, was the relative standing of the clubs in the State, May 29th: . . i Lost. .
