Ax Ourszum OPINION.—The London Ad• vertieer says :—The large county of Huron could ah01 up its jail and give the officials a prolonged holiday but for the fact that the municipalities insist on using the structure ae a place of ooefloe- inentfor aged and infirm paupers. At present there are no prisoners iu tLe jail at Goderiob, but it costs the taxpayers 56 a clay to pay Tanning expenses and maintain the three paupers confined in the building,. It would certainly pay the people of Huron, as it has paid those of Middlesex, Elgin, Waterloo and other Ontario counties, to establish a House of Industry, and the method of main- otainieg indigents would be far more Bamttne than that which now prevails in tbo neighboring county.
