The auditors, in taking the valuation of the town property at the Poor Farm, have reduced the appraisal of several articles from last year, on account of age, wear, and reduction of current prices. The whole place shows evidence outside and inside of the house of the efficient industry and thrift of the superintendent and his wife ; we noticed the good condition of the stock and carriages and property that was on hand.
