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.
