REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor of the town of Mendon, for the municipal year ending March 4, 1878, submit the following report :-
At the commencement of the municipal year just closed, Elijah Penniman, Freeman Miles, James W. Wilson, Russell Harrington, Edna Harrington and her child, and the two chil- dren of Delia Harrington, were receiving a full support at Davis Hill's ; Whipple Allen, his wife and two children, were receiving support in Milford ; Charles A. Wilson was receiving a full support in Upton ; Joseph H. Wood and wife, having a settlement in Uxbridge, and Joanna Crowley and five chil- dren, were receiving partial support at their homes in this town.
March 6, 1877, James W. Wilson left Mr. Hill's, and ceased to be chargeable there for the present.
March 24, 1877, Russell Harrington left Mr. Hill's and ceased to be chargeable.
March 22, 1877, Daniel Cunningham, residing in Milford, made application to this Board, for assistance for himself and family, which was granted on his showing of having acquired a settlement in this town.
March 28, 1877, the Overseers contracted with Davis Hill, to provide for and take care of all paupers, (Charles A. Wil- son excepted,) that may require a full support, during one year from the first day of April next, for $2 50 per week, for each adult pauper, and 50 cents per week, for each of the three Harrington children, so long as they remain at his house.
April 7, 1877, Ezra W. Allen, son of Whipple and Edner Al- len, was placed in the school for Idiotic and Feeble-minded Youth at South Boston.

18
April 10, 1877, the three Harrington children were remov- ed from Mr. Hill's to the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston.
May 12, 1877, Whipple Allen, his wife and their son Charles H. Allen, were removed from Milford to Mr. Hill's; Mr. Allen and wife to be supported, and Charles to work for Mr. Hill for his board, until further arrangements are made.
May 25, 1877, Lawrence Wilber came to Mr. Hill's, to be supported.
June 27, 1877, Edna Harrington left Mr. Hill's, and ceased to be chargeable for the present.
About the first of Aug., 1877, the Overseers became aware of a decision of the Supreme Court, upon the Law of 1874, in relation to women gaining settlements, which decision sat- isfied us that Catherine Crowley and children have no settle- ment in this town as has been previously supposed, but aid was continued four weeks longer by leave of the General Agent of the Board of State Charities, and charged to the Commonwealth.
Sept. 10, 1877, Charles H. Allen, was removed from Mr. Hill's to the Home for Little Wanderers, in Boston.
Nov. 10, 1877, Daniel Harrington applied for aid for him- self and son Russell, and they were sent to Mr. Hill's, where they remained one week, during which time a tenement was procured for them in the house of Edward Kirby and articles of furniture and provision furnished sufficient to start them in housekeeping.
Nov. 24, 1877, Nathan Streeter, being lame and unable to provide for himself, became chargeable at the house of Wil- liam E. Barrows; his settlement is probably in this town, the particulars of which would occupy too much space to be re- ported here.
Nov. 28, 1877, Edna Harrington was taken sick, and became chargeable at Chloe A. Jefferson's in Uxbridge, where she had been at work for her board since the 17th of August last.
Dec. 2, 1877, Lawrence Wilber left Mr. Hill's, and ceased to be chargeable for the present.
19
Dec. 21, 1877, Edna Harrington started for Michigan, and ceased to be chargeable here.
Dec. 27, 1877, Daniel Cunningham again called on this Board for assistance for himself and family, and aid has been continued to the present time.
Dec. 28, 1877. After a lapse of several months, Joseph H. Wood, again applied for aid for himself and wife, and Ux- bridge, their place of lawful settlement, was duly notified. Aid is still continued.
Jan. 31, 1878, Delia Harrington gave birth to an illegiti- mate male child in Westboro', and became chargeable there ; the child is the third of which she is the mother.
Feb. 8, 1878, Levi L. Smith applied to this Board for relief, which was granted, and the town of Milford duly notified and his settlement there has been acknowledged.
Feb. 16, 1878, Delia Harrington, and her infant child were moved from Westboro', to Mr. Hill's to be supported there.
The Overseers charge themselves with the receipt of the - following funds belonging to the town :--
