The teameeting under the auspices of
Lucknow Methodist church is said to
have been one of the most successful yet
held in that village. The attendance
was large, and the programme was an
excellent one. The north street Metho-
dist church choir. of Goderich, drove the
entire distance, (22 Miles) and judging
by the following reference to their work
in the 4M*timi. , they were fully appreciat-
ed : - "The musical portion of the enter-
tainment was furnished by the choir of
the tlnderkh Methodist Ohnt+eh, =der
the able leadership of Mr. Halls, and a
greater treat was rarely enjeyd by tate
at wits of Luck now. Besides the several
anthems, choruses, etc, by the choir,
Mr. Henderson, their powerful bast,
singer, rendered a couple of solos in •
highly satisfactory manner for which he
was loudly snored."

Toa SIGNAL has on mere than one oc-
casion directed the attentive of the pub-
lic to the fact that Huron county jail
was of late years being put to a use for
which it was nut originally intended.
Instead of being solely used as a plate
for the incarceration of cruwwala who
were expiating offencesagainst the laws of
the land, itis now wade to de service as
an hospital, a lunatic asylum, and •
county tour house. For some year put
the question of establishing an indus-
trial farm or house of refuge in the
county has been brought up in the coun-
cil, but on every occasion it has been
voted down, or "choked oil.'' Why the
reeves from the rural municipalities will
persist in keeping their eon Awed to the
cry of suffering humanity and their eyes
shut to the necessity for a county house
.1 refuee for the aged and incapable indi.
gents of Hun,n is wmethtug we cannot
understand. Tin StaNAL knows every
member of the enunty couueil per-
sonally, and we know that there is not •
nun in the:whole fifty who is raturally
•, hard-hearted that be would tut be
willing to lessen the woe and misery that
obtain amongst the pour of Huron.
But, despite this fact, v, hen the question
of shaking suitable provision fur the
toady ones comes up at the council
meeting the "nays" are largely in th
majority. This should not be, and we
hope to see the question taken up again
and thoroughly ventilated, so that defi-
nite action may he taken by the cuuaty
council at its neat meeting.
With this end in view a reporter ..1
THE. SIGNAl., having heard that the jail
inmates were composed largely of per-
sons who were not criminals in anywise*
••f the term, but who bad been conimitt-
ed to jail because no suitable place for
their maintenance existed in the county,
paid • visit to the "Bsatile," and took a
run through the wards During his
viwt he learned that Ashfield, Howick,
Stephen, Grey, Clinton, Seaforth, Brus-
sels and Exeter were represented in the
jail by unfortunate persons who had
been guilty of no crime for which they
should be made the wmpanwus of male-
factors. They were in every instance
aged and helpless, invalid or weak-mind-
ed. And yet many of the county coun-
cillors were willing that thew poor
creature. should pass the remainder of
their days in the continuo jail of the
county. It is a shame and disgrace that
this thing should continue longer. These
poor people cannot possibly get the prop-
er attention in jail that they would re-
ceive in a hospital or house 01 refuge.
The jail officials have of late been over-
worked caring be the sick and afflicted.
and it the county ounnell does not take
some steps to improve the existing state
of affairs, the assistance et the Govern-
ment must be called in tc remedy the
evil.
The accommodation for inmates con-
sists of four wards, each ward having
three cella -thus giving room for twelve
prisoners. Whet. the inmates exceed
that number, "shakedowns" in the halls
of the wards have to be made for all over
the number specified. Two of the wards
are upstairs, and two are un the lower

Old "Billy Kelly;" of Brussels
about fiftyears of age, of weak intel-
ligence, thou of sturdy proportions. Hie
is able and willingto pay for hie keep by
labor He shoulnot be in jail, for be
is not a criminal.
McKinney, • venerable than how
Howick, was sitting in the ward with
Kelly. His offeuce consists in that Ise
80 years of age, and had either to be
supported by his township or !mgt to
jst7.
In the same wand is Thos Devine,
from Seaforth, aged 80, who, is also s
inmate of the jail and the &asocial* of
criminals because he is old, feeble and
decrepit.
The fourth innate is Joseph Millan,
of Stephen, who is in the criminal's cell
when 6e should he in an hospital or in-
sane asylum. In the
rgtYtis' wase.
there aro two women for vagrancy
One la a young woman, and the other ss
middle -aged. The feet of the latter
were Indty frozen last winter, and they
hare of late become painfully sore again.
Her caro is another which .b oubi be
sent to an hospital
No the matter all .round stands is
this shape : Out of 14 inmates in the
C100111011 jail we find the crines to be as
follows :

1 over 64 years, and on crutches.
1 with hands 1rosen,
3 weak -winded.
1 an idiot suffering from erysipelas.
1 a woman with frozen feet.
and
3 prisoners who deserve to be is jail
When leaving, the reporter was in-
formed by the jailor that he and the
turnkey had. in addition to their other
duties, to take turns at night watching
in the ward occupied by Moosehead,
sick with erysipelas, and Burgess, wear-
ing; away with cancer in the leg. Their
official duties did not require the pigs!
sittings, but in the cause of hutsaeity
they had been constrained to *caapi the
additional burdens for the matte .d the
pour incapable* who had been fumed
upon them.
Through carelessly neglecting tc tole
his horses while delivering meat in tome
the other day, Joe Tewsley, of Colborne,
sustained a loss by his team running
away, it juringg lie sleigh and semehiaa
two large panes of glass in Rhyme's dnig

SKATING Mama. -The race between
Stevens and Maguire did not came off,
Steven's friends objecting tad)* 'weight'
of the Goderichskater. Charley Dutuugh
waa then picked upon by the GOderiob
men, and the contest cams off in the
Clinton ring Tuesday. Stevens was the
heavier of the two by live ponds, whisk
esu not objected to by our fellows. Then
was a big turn out to witness the race,
The judges were J. Carrie and John Cal-
lender. Referee, Ferran, of Clinton.
The men started off nicely, but when
about ten yards forward, the Chatoa
skater fell, and • foul was claimed after
Donagh had gone over two lags. After
considerable chin music, th. men got of
again, when a closely contested rtes war
indulged in, Stemma winning by shoeet
a lap, in 22 minutes and 36 second&
Dunagh's friends claim that he was net
fairly treated in the tatter of the Bret-
start. Donath has challengted Ste

101 FIRST WARD
into which the reporter was shown was
on the ground thr,r. On entering, •
terrible stench was noticed, of a sicken-
ing nature. This offensive odor, he was
informed, wag caused by a cancer or
other incurable sore on the lee ' 'me .d
the aged inmates. An effort I. less
made to have the sufferer, (whole name
is William Burgess, and who came from
the township ..1 Grey,) removal to an
hospital, but so far without_ success.
Until recently Burgess ha0i en assisted
and attended to by • halt -witted lad
named Johnny Moosehead, fmm Exeter,
but pier Johnny has leen stricken down
with erysipelas in the head, sod hes now
I to be attended t.. by the ofMci•ts of the
jail. Moosehead has heen tenantable%
in jail for ovet two years, jut because
he is a prior, week -minded fellow. He,
I like poor Burges, is in the felon's cell
I because he is an unfortunate.
Poor old McLean aged 77 years, and
! originally from tleeforth, is the third ..c-
eapant eat this ward. His encase coiesists
in that he is old, and Shad, and for
these heinous misdess earns he rs sem-
polled to spend hie deefining years to a
