I had hardly spoken to the girl since tb,e first night; she had. not lingered again in the tent, as shei did then; a few words, or a, bow, as she pa,ssed. through to her own -van, was all the re- compense I received for my nightly at- tendance.

"Perhaps," I answered, awl kept my own counsel; but it was not without a feeling of regret at the thought of her leaving with her secret untold, and the one way in which I felt I could hejp her barred against me.

The prisoner was 16 boy 18 years of age, charged with setting fire to a barn in the -Township of Grey. Ile confessed, and was sentenced. to four years in. the Ponetanguishene Reformatory. The following is the presentment Of the Grand. Jury.: My Lord—The Grand jurors at Hor Majesty's Fall Assizes for tho County of Huron re- spectfully submit the following p.resent- ment :—They have visited. the jail and. found it in. a, comfartable condition. Tho prisoners had rer comphiint. 11 may be remarked. that there were only three of them, one a boy of twelve years implicated in it case of arson, and the others two men of mature age 'deprived of their liberty consequent on the de- basing vice of drunkenness. Thebooks of the jail library are considerably worn. No new ones have, it is believed, been received for many years past, and the Grand Jurors are of opinion that a, supply of modern works, suitable for ciroulation in prieons, should irs, obtain- ed. It may be mentioned that there is an neutrtment in the jail designated "Tho Chapel," but it would. appear that clergyman do not now attend, as formerly, tor the purpose of imparting, sound instruction to the prisoners with the view to their reformation, and of their becoming useful members of sooi- ety, 1.11 conclusion, the 'Grand jurors have to observe that considerincg the wide tract of country. embraced m the County of Heron, it is a matter of plea- sing reflection to find so few prisoners in the jail rind criminal cases requiring investigation. Tho Grand Jurors may also reocael their acknowledgement of the cotateous attention roomed from the publio prosecutor, and tho Crown Attorney oi the County.
