unable to support themselves, perhaps
through old age and infirmities, sickness, or
other causes, enol the township or town
which, se the end of the year, has not laid
out *100 as charity i- eared lucky. Pla•-
ing the annual amount of funis expended
by each municipality for this purpse, we
fitw1 that the total would be in the seiehbor-
hood of f4,500. Beelike this we have the
county wards, .who receive from 670 to 180
each, and there are now quite • number of
them. At the present time there are, •c
cording to TINS Sb1?Aa-, seven persons in the
county gaol who cost the county another
