Anda it to be^a IcRlti-
mate part of Iheir work
to promote the eatab-
lithment of county pdor-
bouaea or houiea of in-
dustry in Ihit Province.
We have been aaaured
on good authority that
many county oouncillora
, who now vote apinst
the county poornouae
aystem would, neverthe-
leaa, be glad to have thcae eatabliihed.
Theae coundllors conaidet that, inatead
of the matter being left optional with the
councila, the vanoua county miinici-
KUtiea should, by Act of Parliament,
compelled to erecr proper buildings,
and thus the odium which, in some
casea, would be caat upon a coundflor'
voting in favor of the needed expendi-
ture would be removed, and by a
genaral Act of the Legislature, that
which Chriatiaaity, patriotism and
humanity demand would be intio-
duoed throu^Mut our land.

ciMincil lo cithrr establish an Inde-
pendent poorhouse, or to unite with
an adHnliK niunty In aaUbltahing a
poorhouae, or houaa of Industry.
Wf an ptd to he abia to raaott
that since the puUication of tha Brst
edition of this ueifiphlet, two and a
half years ago, three of Ihe Couniiea
of Ontario have eatablished Housea of
Induatry for the destitute poor of ^heir
respective counties, namely: Uoited,
Countiea of LeMla aod Granville,
Huron and Perth. We are abo
pleaaad to learn that the Countiea of
simooe, Bruce and Peel are moving in
the afune direction. The poorhouae
in Leeiis and iHanville ia aituated at
Athena, that in Huron at Clinton, and
that in PMth at Stiatfoid.
Ii« viaw of thia mow on tha part of
the countiaa ia the diractioa 41 eatab-
liahinf poorfao6aea or houaea of indue-
tty, we hafg thought the time oppor

In addilhm lo that alreedv publlahiMl
and diitriUitcd by our AtaiM laium,
and morti tsno lally with reference to
ihuae county housea of Indtiatry akaady
eaubiished.
.The countiea In which houses of in-
duatry are alraa<ly i<*ialilithed, includ
ing the three miabli*h<rti recently, are
aa folluwt, vli. : Voik, Waietloo, WeL
llngton, Middlesas, KIgln. Oiford,
Brant, Norfolk, Uncoln. .Wetland,
I'aeda & (irenville, Huron and Perth.
^ Of these Ydrk and
Wftarloo have been
longest established,
namely, about if yaar%
while Ihe instltutkma
in Brant and Oafard
have been in eais-
tence about four yeara.
Tha three houses of in-
duMry recently esub-
lishM, sre considered
the best of their kind,
while Ihe one in Kigin
Co. more nearly appro-
ache* Ihe cottage sya^
lem.
Weadvocate the coun-
ty poorhouae system, and
we advocate it strongly ;
we advocate it because it
it the moat econpmical
system ; and we advo-
cate it because the gan-
•lal adoption of this
3«tem will very matari-
ly reduce the amount
of pauperism and crime
in the community. We
alao favor county poorhouses becauaa
their establishment woi^ld cause va-
J rants to be removed from Ihe county
tils, (Where they should never be sefit)
and in removing vuranu from the
county Jails room would be made for a
better grading anda batter ckaaiflca-
tion of the remaining priaoners.

Re*. Mr. 'I'rotier stated thai they,
lh« deputation, had tieen ap|M)inted by
the Ministerial Association to present
a petition in regard to prison reform,
suggested Kiy the Prisoners' Aid Asso
elation He presented the (letition in
the form of a rrsoluiion passed by the
Ministerial Association, which s<-t forth
the necessity of a House of Refuge
which would allow the better classiAca-
tion of prisoners in the jai^ and the
worthy poor to be removed from the
criminal classea. The resolution aajied
that a committee be appointed to look
into the matter and report.
Rev. Mr. Young supported the peti-
t CO, pointing put that the administra-
Uon of Justice had a two-fold object,
the punishment and the re/ormation of
criminala, and he went on to emphasize
the neceiaity of adopting a system
which would be the liest tended to
• reform. He also regretted the system
which left no place for the worthy aged
poor but the common jail.
Mr. Caaement drew th^ attention of
the gentlemen of the deputation to a
resolution passed at the last session of
the County Council, in which the
county agreed to esuhlish and main-
tain a House of Refuge on condition
'that t^e^town assist in that esUblish-
ment and maintenance. He thought
the Town Council was perhaps the
proper- body to apply to in regard to
this lAtter. ^,
Mr. Moloney said the county was
Oj?'y»*> willing to establish a House
of Refuge, providing the town would
assist. The Town Council was the
body which should be agitated." While

At the meeting of the County Muni

Kingston in January 189). a deputation
from the Kingstim Minisurial Associa
tion. consisting of Kev. A. C Cnurtice,
M.A., an<i Re*. C, O. Johnston, ac-

to the house of industry question.
Piititions were also presented from the
Coudty Women's Christian Temper
ante UniWh. Mr. Britton mede a very
strong appeal /n behalf of a more hu
mane method of caring for the destitute
poor of the County.
Upon resolution of Council, a com-
mittee was appointed 10 make enqui-
ries and report at the June meeting of
the Council. "
FoorboaaM on our lorden.
In the State of Michigan, which is a
comparatively young State, there are
77 poorhouses. Those that are near
Its boundary line and within easy reach
of Windsor or Sarnia are as follows,
vis ; In Alpena Count* the poorhouse
IS located near the towYi of Alpena : in
Bay Ca, near Bay City ; in H«ion Co.,
near Bad Axe; in Iosco Co., near
Tawas City; in Macomb Co, near
Mt. Clemens; in Monroe Co., near
Monroe ; in Oakland Ca, near Pon
tiac ; in Sagina* Ca, six miles from
Saginaw j in Sanilac Ca, near Lexing
ton ; in Tuscola Ca, near Caro, and in
Wayne Co., th« poorhouse is ic miles
from Detroit.
On our southern borders, county
poorhouses are located ay follows, vii :
in Erie Ca, near BufTalo ; in Niagara
Ca, near Lockport ; in Monroe Ca.
near Rochester ; in Wayne Ca. near
LyoM ; in Orleans Ca. near Albion ;
m Oswego Ca, near the town of
Mexico; m St. Uwrence Co. near
Canton ; in Jefferson Co., near Water-
'°^" ! '" Jf^nklyn Ca, near Malone,
and in Chnton qa, six mUes from
PUtuburg, N. Y. The Erie and Moo-
roe County poorhouses accommodate
over- 300 each. The other insthutiom
aocommodate from 100 10,150 e tfh

"There are." according to a AWf
correspondent, «* Afteen persons over
sixty years of age in Harrie jail, not
one of wh<Hn has violated any statutory
or local law of the country. Their one
offence consists in the fact tint they
are unable to provide homes for them-
selves."
" This is a sute of affairs of which
any civilised community should be
ashamed. The remedy is not to he
found, however, in makina the caiy of
paupers a charge on the OnUrio Go*-
ernmcnt. That would involve a very
large increase in the patronage enjoyed
by the central authority, and against
the patronage system as it now exists.
As it al present exists, the whole
country is even now in revolt. What
is needed is a general law that will
force each county, in which the necaa-
sity exists, to provide for its own poor
by means of the erection of art indus-
trial home. By this means a reproach
will be removed, each community will
be forced to bear its own burdens, and
there i^ill be no increase in the danger
that is inseparable from the placing of
large power in the hands of one central
power*

What tmk IiriracroK Save—" It
Is a disgrace to the people of thia
Province to allow their aged poor, who
have committed no crime against the
laws of the land, to be incarcerated
within prison walla, clothed in the dis-
tinguished garb of prison criminals.
In most cases these people have lived
honest and respecubie lives, and, per-
hep*, have reared and educated large
fiimilies, but from circumstances over
which they had no control, have loat
children, property and health. It is
inhuman, un-Christian, and unpatriotic,
and should be prevented by most
stringent legislattpn, if not immediately
remedied by the authoritiea of the
various countries."— /(»i/^<w ^ /«.
tons for Ontario, Rtfort of iSgi.
A Cheek to Paupwinn and Crtan*.
" When intelligently managed a poor-
house is a check upon the spread of
both pauperism and crime, but when
badly managed, or when conducted
upon a wrong principle, it may be the
meatis of propoigating both. As in the
case of the jail, so in the case of thf
county poorhouse ; well-administeted,
It may be a ble«nng of the higheat
type ; poorly administered, it may he

economy. The farm and buildings
should be within a convenient dUunce
of aradway sution or a water- way,, and
there should be about two acres to each
inmate; thus, (for instance, a county
that will average 75 inmates in the
county home should have 150 acres of
land connected therewith. It ia poor
economy to erect good county poor-
house buildinga on a small farm, and
It IS also poor economy to place an in-
dustrial home on poor land. The
better the land the less the coat of

When sewafs can be discharged
into a copious stream, or into any Ivge
body of water without polluting it to
the detriment of ihoae using it, this is
the least ri|iensive ami least trouble
so«M Way of diifkoaing of it Where
this cannot be done, the dry-cloaet
•>sSani can be wfopled. in which raae
means thouhl be ptwvided for drying
and storing in summer an ample tu|>-
ply of earth for the year. The earth
may be dried in vau wkh movable
covaia, such aa an used in makii« salt
by soW evaporation. It can then be
shoveled into a chaapt <=!<>•« structura
aloi«side of the vau If earth doaeis
are used, it will be wall to project them
from the building and connect them
therewith by short pasaage ways having
croa»ventilation. Another plan of dia-
poaing of sewage, but a mere expensive
one, is that of coiiecting it in a series
of vats so placed that the overflow of
one passes in a second -and from that
intd a third, whuWK the Hquid is dis
chiiged into a stieam, or distributed
over the sunrot^iding land and absorbed
thecain The solid mattw which ia left
is intermixed with ashes or other mate
; rial, and is used as a fertiliser on the
land.

All the n ece ssar y fadlitiM for main-
taining deanMneas must be supplied,

shoald be made comfortably warm and
supplied with ooM and hot water, the
latter being under the sole control of
attendants.. A separate department in
the kMHidiy, or at least separate prori-
.aion for washinw clothea that come
from the hosnitalwarda, is imper a tiv e ly
neceaaaty. Jn addition to means for
