THE POOR HOUSE. The Grand Jury in presenting their report to the County Court in Goderich last week strongly recom- mended the erection of a House of Refuge for the aged and deserving of the county. In replying to the address His Honor Judge Doyle gave one of the most able and powerful arguments in favonof such an institution.. we have ever listened. to. His Honor said that the references in their address to the able management of the cou:ity jail were but a reputation of what had been said by Grand Juries for years. The management, was undoubtedly -satisfactory and everything possible was done to make the inmates comfor- table. But the primary. object of this institution was the punishment of crime and the protection of society ; your presentment showed that six of the ten persons mkt confined the' e were vagrants 'or paupers, and it was not for those t The facts and figures referred t he jail was establis grand jury formed • one of strongest arguments for a house refuge. • Fortunately Christianity recognized as forming a part of_ 'ioble• British constitution, and 'Christianity taught us that it -was o silty to care for the poor and unf tunate of our fellow men. , No m beautiful and powerful illustration -duty is, contained in the' whole Bi than the story of the rich man Di. and the begger Lazarus, and for own part he copld not see''how wh We -were called to render an account our stewartship we could escape fro the.iesponsibility, which as .'Christie n men ours, in caring.for our neigh bor. Tris duty was not fulfilled by trusting our•poor in jail to associat with criminals: This he stated merel as his own views, but he would ask the jury to consider the financial aspect. - -The reports of the houses of refuge already established showed that, the inmates were .sept at an average cost of from $50 , o $60 per head per year, while we in this county, as indisputable facts showed to the knowledge of the - jury, were: paying about three tinges shat an ount,for the poor we are now •supporting, and then giving them; by the nature of the buildings and sur- roundings, a very much. inferior care and accommodation: The assessment of this. county was about 30 °million dollars; and 20 cents on every 00 in this would raise $15,000.

Surely as intelligent business men we should' not delay any longer, and' he was glad to know that steps were being taken to bring the ;natter before the electors for. discussion.
