S O N Bluevale Rev Geo Lounds, of Holstein, is in the •.village this week. -Mr Wm Patterson is moving this week into the house lately occupied by Mr Watcher.—The sudden death. of Mrs Timmins, wife of our es- teemed postmaster, has cast a cloud over the community, and caused many to feel how uncertain is life. Her cheerful pres- ence will be much missed, not only in her own house, but in the village. Mr Timmins has the sympathy of everyone in his sad and sudden bereavement: -Rev I B Wallwin, who has been absent for three weeks taking some lectures in geology at Victoria University, has re- turned and occupied his own pulpit last Sabbath. Mrs Waliwin, spent the time with her parents in Goderieh, is expect- ed home on Priday.—Conductor Snider, who expects soon to remove from Wing - liana to Toronto, will give his far-famed lecture, entitlect "Life on the Rail and People we Meet" in the Methodist ehurch, next Monday evening. This is probably the last opportunity the people of this community may have of hearing the Conductor. His lecture has been given in all the chief cities and many of the towns of the province andlistened to by thousands and everywhere spoken of in the highest terns. The Hamilton Times says: "To say that Conductor Snider's reputation as a lecturer is good, would be a weak expression, after having the opportunity of listening to one of his peculiar lectures, interspersed with side splitting jokes,and also heard his delinea- tion of character and his wonderful im- personation of ordinary freaks we meet in the course of a travelling life on any of our great American railroads.' The lecture was delivered in Wingham a short time ago and the Win ;ham '.irHIES stays: "It was fir beyond the highest ex- pectation of the imsg,ination of the audi- ence, and that should he ever favor Wingharn again. with his presence upon the lecture platform, he may be sure of a full house." (Intended for last issue.) There are a good many changes taking place in our village just now. Nle Stevens, waggon inaker, ° is going to move baekto Clinton again, where he has got a situation with the Doherty Organ Company. We are sorry to Tose him, He is a good neighbor and a good mechanic. Also Richard Hogg has moved to his farm on the boon•, clary. Mr John Watcher is going to move ou'to Win Cornyn's farm, near the W ingban2 brick yard.

House of Refuge. For the past feet/ weeks the Goderich Signal has been writing up the "House or Refuge" question and wishes it to be made the paramount issue at the next municipal elections througheyut the county. The following is a short synopsis of what it had to say in its last issue, dealing with it from an eco- nomical standpoint ; Whenever the question has been brought up for disc cession in the County Council, the opponents of the scheme contended that the cost ,of a houss of refuge would be out of proportion to the benefits that would accrue from it,' 'white as things were at present the poor and infirm had a certainty of care and attention in the '.jail at a very small cost, as it required no more out- lay, with the exception of the mere cost of food. They claimed that the jail had to be kept up at any evein and that an additional pauper did net amount to much in the expenditure. Then, the. Signal goes on to prove the fallacy of this argurnent, and says that Goderich jail is air institution for the safe keeping of criminals, and not a piaee for. altns•g iving to indigents, To soh an extent is this the Case' that if there were; no paupers or lunatics within its walls,the goVernlnent would have'to gear the entire expense of carrying on the institution, and it would not cost the uounty a cent from one year's end to the other. This is the proof of this statement as given by the signed : For the year ending with Dec 81st, 1890, the Cast of maintaining the county jail amounted to $2,438, add of this atrrount the Government paid $283 for the keep of ,criminals and the cotmty paid 0,150. This' my startle our readers,but it is simply' the tadts, pet in plain figures, The manner in which the maintenance of the jail is conducted is very nmple. SO4TJres Stores ibe ur Ier of days occupied'in ;ail by criminal's is totaled up and charged to the government, and the number of days chargeable to those that are not criminals is clearg+ed to the county. The follo•ving are the relative figures, for the above named year :. QuArrTsa. Gov. DAYS.

At this rate the county paid for the keep of its paupers about $4 00 o week, which is not a lowrate to pay for their keep in a comennn j:ait, waren better accom- modation can he secured in any of the houses of refuge lir Waterloo,Welling• ton, Middlesex, Elgin or any other counties at a rate averaging from 70c to $1,05 per week. At the rate men- tioned it would be' cheaper by, far for the county to board ita jail inmates at a good comfortable hotel" The amount spent this way would• go a long way fewords paying the annual running expenses of a tiroronghly equipped louse of refuge, capable of eat:A too, dating from fifty to one linndred of the deserving poor of onr county.
