ect of the erection eta House of Refnge
for this county, will come up again at
the next sitting of the county council,
and then be disposed of, one way .or the
other, for MOO time to come. Although
the quesflon has beer • before sevetal
county councils lately, and the advocates
of such institfitions have exertedethein-
selves in urging the adoption of the
system,. no progress whatever has been
made, many fearing that Moro injury
than good will be done by their intro-
duction. '
