Mr. Harness introduced the following solsr.ion, whieh was seconded by Mr. )<>yl* : That it would appear a* account if a recent amendment of the critnminal ode that it would be in the public inion-at appoint a committee composed of the oilowhrs; member* of this council : 4 exHra. Preston, Agnew, Gordon, Mc- Cinnou snd the mover, to obtain sll information both as to cost and of buildings, and the most suitable luantity of land for the purpose of a ouse of refuge, and to report at the anuary session of the council. In support of his motion Mr. Humes* uade a lengthy appeal for a hnunu of ro- uge, setting forth examples which ap- H- il.-il to sentiment. He was mtiiliud o have a house <>t refuge built anywhere the county. The poor sect to gaol at )wen Sound came largely from the rural iatricts, and we owed it to humanity to rovidu for them. Our churches were laceM,ainl our residences sulwuntial.yet t waa strange that no provision was made the poor. Mr. Harness also referred to ifessrs. McColman and McDonald, who, e said, had expvriencnl a change of eart in the matter, and who had bean ,isli,-,l and cleansed from their old view* n the snhject. Mr. McColuiaa said that it was not SBsaary to refer to the cleansing of any N-raon. He had op|Kisud the qaeslii n ike Mr. McDonald, sn<l still his view* were unchanged, hut be proposed to vote with the people of his divmion who desir- ed the house, of refuge. Mr. Harness was vidently more concerned about where he people died than where they lived, le objected to the M-ntum-nlal talk Mr. McDonald smilingly said that Mr. lames* had given him no offencv. He ind not been converted, snd would have ted againut a poor house provided the w had remained the same as it wss. The mistake ha believed to be in the cmn- ii. il code. The. poor house* were tilled vith a certain class of half lramps,and to irove his assert ion Mr. McDonald read in extract from the Mail aod Empire of hi- ily before. "Tlmt in KIH.<| authority" said Mr. Gor- don, mid the idea of Mr. McDonald quot ng thegresl Coniiervativn journal created a ripple of l.m^liier. The Isw had changed, continued Mr. McDonald, and they rould not inake pro vision for those people as before. lie then referred to the Dad character of HIM f tho old turn over whom tlu- Owen Sound newspapers htd piinled many " nrnclcH, tuiog frequently tho it that he had omne tu his condi- tion 'ilioiii'li no f*ult <>f his own." It was Ilia own fault very Inrgely. The following important resolution in- tiiNluood hy Mutuira.
