Batten. 4.--We beg to report that we have made a thorough inspection of the gaol, timing our visit so as to include the dinner hour; we found the premises in a. clean, warm and or- derly condition, and that no complaints were addressed to us. A good and substantial meal was served to every inmate, which was of good quality and ample in quantity. We nd a. great lack of employment for the able- bodied inmates. and recommend that stone be supplied in suicient quantities to ensure the employment of able-bodied inmates, as we believe such employment would act as a. deterrent. In selecting a site for the House of Refuge we regret that a point so far removed from the County town has been selected, as the position of the building will entail upon the county alarge and, in our opinion, entirely unnecessary outlay for inspection by succes- sive Grand Juries. In addition to the present oak door in the criminal corridor, we recommend the erec- tion of an iron gate. We nd the quarters allotted to the gaoler are of 8 very inade- quate description, and in the event of a. re his escape would be almost impossible. 5-We also paid a visit to Royal Victoria. Hospital, recently opened here for the treat- ment of the sick". We found everything in excellent order, the most scrupulous cleanli- ness prevailing in all departments, and the building apparently being well adapted to the necessities ot the work, which is in charge of a thoroughlyompetent lady su- perintendent and staff. _ it is very unfortunate that the House of Refuge is tobe built so far away from the County town- Of course I `understand it alright; it all arises out of local jealousies. Orillia wanted a public building, and they have one; Beeton wanted one, and they therefore must have the House of Refuge, and the County must pay for it. All these public institutions should be subject` to pub- _lic inspection. It is not enough that there has been inspection by only one man. There is no better corrective of abuses in public in- stitutions than the knowledge that Grand Juries will be present for purposes of inspec- tion. There m_a` be no abuses, but it is-1ust an inn`,--that mi nnsn urn sung ' n' -'$`a`slr.8-n,' l The establishment of a second hospital in the County is a matter for congratulation, as the one already in operation in Coiling- wood has proved of the greatest advantage and usefulness to the inhabitants of the County of Simbcoe. l`1_ __ -._ `I\______ Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the Grand Jury.--1 thank vou for the kind per- sonal remarks in the beginning of your ad- dress. I am now -in my seventy-second year. and have been for nearly eleven years on the bench. This period has probably lengthenedmylife rather than shortened it, so far as work is concerned. Yet; I cannot; expect to,be spared much longer. Time works wondrous changes on all men, and I -am beginning to feel the frailties common to old age. In a short time 1 must retire and give place to a. younger man. .11 tiuiteagree` with though the num ` er of cases that came before you is small, yet these cases were of a most serious character, and show a very deplorable state of morality in this county in both sexes. Of course this is a county of very large area, and there are several large towns, hence one. would expect a certain amount of crime, but certainly I would expect less of that particular crime with which you have had to` deal. There are many crimes committed and disposed of that we hear nothing of in this Court. They are disposed-of by police magistrates; but I do not know that this summarily dealing with crime is in the best interests of society at larae. Whether the exposition of crime is a deterrent to crime. or not, is a matter of difference ofopinion.

The annual spring millinery openings were held yesterday and as usual the ladies were out in large numbers to see all the latest e'ects in the millinery line. ' ms. mm as co. The millinery department of James Vair & Co. s store, under the eicient manage- ment of Miss Woollatt. of Toronto. and as- sistants, was crowded during the afternoon with ladies eager to see the latest headgear. A few of the prime factors in trimmings are palisse e'ects and gofferings in all kinds of light gauzy and net goods. Flowers are as popular as ever with a leaning to small effects; the leading colors are turquoise blue, light green, heliotrope, wood, fawn, cream, white. tuscan and -burnt orange. Among the fancy ribbons are'Roman, stripes, plaids, moires, gauze e*'ects and tartans. The store was beautifully draped with cur- tains and everywhere was to be seen excel- ; lent goods of all varieties. The new carpet- ing in the millinery department adds much to the appearance of the room.

The millinery show room of this well known rm was thronged with Barrie s fair- est whose verdict one and all was that the display this season is richer, larger and more complete in every detail than ever. The hats this spring are smaller; toques and turbans prevail. The Shepherdess is also something very new and seems to be the favorite although the new Jane Harding is also very much admired. Burnt orange, yellow and turquoise blue are the colors this year, while roses in all colors, fuschias in brilliant pink and red, and heather in the natural shades are the-favorite owers. A charming hat in the "pneumatic tire sailor was trimmed with ve elegant scarfs in blue, green, yellow and cream ; these are ` drawn into a. cable knot at the sidedand the i fringed ends drop over the rim : a bunch of shaded quills stand at the side. -.1 i The `i`iIi{ilernV i1_{e_i}c'1{'$;}y1ateao and of course is of the golden hue.

Last Friday afternoon Thomas Goffatt, of Orillia. was sentenced toione year in the Central prison for supplying a catheter to the late Fanny Young; and John O'Connor to ve years in the Penitentiary: for having in his possession instruments used in counter` feiting money. GoFm'r'r s SENTENCE. Thomas Go'a.t.t,.said His Lordship, have you anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon you for the crime of which" you stand convicted? f1....o.a. a........_L`I...: 1:l__ _ I- , 1- 1 - 1-I. Thomas Goffatt, one of the most dis- agreeable things, said His Lordship, a judge has to do is to pass sentence upon a fellow-being. When I see a man like you who heretofore lived with your` wife and children, brought down to the low level of your present condition I realize that some- thing-ldeplorable has taken place. There has been some cause I fear for your fall. From what I have been abe to learn it is be- cause of that besetting sin to which so many persons fall victims, viz. , drink. I feel sorry for you and your family and the disgrace you have brought on your family as well as yourself, though I presume that the locality in which your family reside will not visit upon them the sins you are guilty of. From the number of years vou have lived and been entrusted with good positions you cer- tainly kuow right from wrong, therefore your condition is a deplorable one. I could sentence you for the space of two years on the verdict, and I must here ay that the jury took a very merciful view of the evi- dence, for they could just as well have found you guilty on the first charge as on the others and then it would have been in my power to send you to prison for the rest of your natural life. That you procured and gave that instrument to the girl I have no manner of doubt, and when one thinks of and sees that in spite of the unenviable position you are in, your family still cling around you, it says much for them at all events. The sentence upon you will be light compared with what it might be, but it will give you time to reflect and get over the effects of drink, so that you can come back in right mind. The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the Central prison for the space of twelve calendar` months and then liberated. O ()ounor, I think this is not the rst time you have met me in this court. A few years ago you appeared as a very unenviable witness in a land case, and if your evidence had been bellieved a poor man would have been deprived of l` is farm. I have nothing to say about that, however, only that it goes to show what may become of a man when he starts on the down grade. You are too lazy to work and get an honest living, and so use the brain God has given you, for the purpose of cheating society. The Parlia- ment of Canada thinks that such men as you should not be at large and says that you should be put in prison for life. However. you have a daughter and a son and the court ha.s:. feeling as a father and thinks it would be too bad to visit your sins upon them by taking you away from them for life. I made some remarks to the jury about your character; I regret that I did so,,for such should have been done only now. There was no neighbor brought to give evidence as to your character. were not brought here to testify to their be- lief in your innocence. eet over your past course and at the end of your imprisonment come back determined to do right.

P. R. between Port Arthur and Winni- peg. He was in the employ of the Savanne Lumber Co. and was walking on the railway track to the mill when an engine struck him, T cutting him in two. He was twenty three years of age and was huried at Port Arthur on Saturday by his father who was also working out there. The deceased was an industrious and popular young man well known in the west end of the town. Much svmpathy is expressed for the father and mother in their bereavement, - There is Always a. Demand for Superior Skilled Labor. . Is there then no demand for labor? There is most importunate, insatiable de- mand for all work of ner skilfulness, for all men who can assume responsibility and give new efdency to productive forces, or direct them into channels for the develop- ment of new wealth. But in the presence of this demand Clark and I stood asking hire for the potential physical energies of two hungry human bodies, and. standing so, we were but two units in alike multitude of unemployed.--From The Workers; The West, by Walter A.
