We found osnfined in the jail three prisoners under sentence for short terms for trivial offences, owe vagrant, one on remand, one, awaiting removal to the penitentiary and one com- mitted as insane. The latter has been awaiting removal to proper quarters for over a year and we feel that such should, if possible, be done at once. As the unfor- tunate inmates of, the House of Refuge are so helpless and are gathered from all parts of the county, we feel that some means should be provided to allow grand jaries to visit thet in-titution, We beg to express our thanks for your kind and lucid explan- ation of our duties, and also the crown at- torney for his courteeyand assistance. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOSEPH BECK, Foreman.

A gratifying contrast to the exodus from Quebec Province for many years past was afforded by a group of 22 French-Canadian families who arrived at Montreal from Michigan on their way to Lake St John district. They numbered 180 persons, and had about 2120,000 in personal and settlers' effeots,and were induced by the agents of the Quebec & Lake St. John Railway to return and settle on lands granted them in that district.
