At swinging a cradle our super- intendent would down many a much youu${er man. Siill tboy como, and still may they be expected to come from this onward. Four wore inmates were admitted on Saturday last fram the county jail, Owen Sound, one male and three females, among whom was Mrs. Watersun, the old lady who was sent from here to O. Sound a short time ago as insane, but the poor old lady will soon cease to be a trouble tt any one. Another of the old ladies admitted is blind and the other one demented, though uot very troublesome unless excited, so says her former attendant. The male inmate admitted from the juil, John -Lumley by name, is a strong, robust man apparently under sixty years but very much demented, thouiih harmless so far as we know for indeed we have had but little opportunity of ascertaining as be only remained one night, fcr early on Sun Jay nx'tn ng h t m^nng ;d to slip aw: j unobserved, and no one can form any idea where he is gone, but most probably a few days hence he will be brought back. John claims a very close relationship to royalty, with peers, viscounts and mar- quises «;alore for nephews and cousins ; ie possessed with vast eststes, a chest of gold, mortgages by the score and great expectations from lots of relations. He has a vesy intelUfreut countenance but his intellect is badly shattered. To keep ai:oh poor creatures as these in close confinement would be both unreasonable and inhuman, and yet, it would tax the watchfulness of alt in the houee to keep them within the bounds ot the iuHtitution Insanity frequently forms cunning do vices to elude the vieilance of their keepers and it would not be a difficult matter to quietly slip off unnoticed from this insti- tution. Mr. Moore, a blind man and a well known lay preacher throughout Holland and Euphra8ia,applied to the Superiuton- dent one day last week for adiniasiou to the homo, but having no committal papeis he could not be admitted but he was.dir- •cted how to obtain admis'<ion. It is said that he is a well educated man and a forceful preacher. There were a large number of visitors on Thuntday last. A number of them were obliged to Itave without boing •how t> through the house owing to the lateness of their artival. Intending visitors to the institution ate requested to bear in mind that at 4 o'clock the house is olooed to visiturs. This is imperative, a.H the duties of the staff require their attention in other capacities. The hours in which the house is open to visitors is from 10 to 18 a. m. and from 2 to i p. m. on Thursday of each week. The Divine service on Sunday last was ponductec by Mr. Morwood, the after part of the service taking the form of a most pleasant fellowship meeting. The •ervice room was full to the door. On Sunday next one of the inmates will (0 V.) assist in the service by delivering a discourse on the confession of sin, a duty. Since writiuathe above items, the man Lumley referred to above returned to the Home of his own accord. He was back io 'time for dinner, but says he is going away again, can't keep hiiu here. )ic is gone axain this morning. It was geiievally understood that this boime was biiilt fur a House of Rofuiro, a hureii for the deservmtj poor and inlirni who were incapacitated from labor with uo means of selfsuppc.rt, but it is visibly beinsj c<mverted in o a hospital for help- less cripples expo'L-d fiom re»uUr hospit- nlrt because of their helplessness; into a blind asylum, wliure the blind may lead the blind, and finally into a dumping ground for lunatics, under the plea that they are perfectly quiet and hariiile.ss, igiiorini; the faul th.it these poor unfor- tunate iinbeoiies are at any time liable! to become violent and du a ^reat deal of haim either to themselves or tlieir aged and feeble asmciutes. But, perhaps the Ortfen Sound authorities do not fully (!om- prehend the meaning of insanity. At least it appears very much like it when they would return to the institution a woman who, a short time ago, was sen< here, and was pronounced insane by the house physician, a woman whose cries and moans are linoing in the ears of your Correspondent while writing these lines. Id the judgement of the House physician to bo trampled on or counted nil'/ Is the evidence ot tho matron and other respectable witnesses to bo treated with couteinptj If such be the ease it were bttter for the credit of the people of Grey had the House never been built As a Hou.se of Refuge, as a home for the poor, the institution has tilled the bill ill every detail, and wc think the maj- ority (^f the inmates are thankful aud con- tented. As an hospital for some such cashes as are at present, and have been here it is a decided failure. It is true we have a gooil, kind gentlemanly physician, but regular hospital requirements or special diet fur sick inmates there are none. The small staff is already taxed to its utmost capacity andcannot possibly devote the neces.sary time and attention required by sick, blind and helpless inmates, and it is a matter for wonduinient how tho m.ister and matron do so much for them. As to the insane onus, those apparently quiet and burmli'ss ones, are they to roam around at will until their mild fi:rin of in- sanity breaks out into open violence? Surely not, .-Vre they to be penned up in solitary confinement in anticipation of these outbreaks? Surely not. Is the management to be held responsible for 8afe-keepini!jwhon|i-gress from the premis- es is so easily accomplished? Again, sure- ly not. This is uuniistaiuibly an unlit place for maniacs, whether their malady be of a mild or violent form. We do not think that the ratepayers of the county o.' Grey ever intended this institution to be utilized for such a combination of pur- poses as at tho present time exists, aud it is to be hoped that better arrangements for its general manaitement will be con- sidered and adopted in the near future. Lumbley, the man referred to in those items, is Kpendinji to-night in Markdale lock up, having rejected all persuasions to return and resisted all efforts to bring him b.ick to the h >me. No doubt the good citizens of Markdale have experienc- ed that he is not a fit subject to be at large or an inmate of the H R. lie will probably be c lunuitted "to Owen Sound by a J. P. A Warning Toriothers. Too much care cannot be used witli small children during tho hot weather of the simiiner mouths to guard against buwel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Uo uot use any substitute, but give the old-fashiuned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, lis rancid oil nauseates, and h-os n tend- ency to gripe. If this does not check the bow- els give Chiunberlains Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy and thou a dose of castor oil, aud the disease inay be checked in its iueip- iency aud all danger avoided. The ca'>tor oil and this remedy should be procuied at once and kept leiuly for instant u.sc as soon as the first indicatiou of any bowel trouble appo;irs. This is the most sticcc8sfiU treatntent known and may be relied uixm with iiu|>licit coiitid- euce even in esses of cholera infantum. Fur taJeby W. K. Kichardson. ttimberley.
