The following report was presented to Judge Price by the grand jury, at the court house, Friday morning : "We, grand jurors of the general session of the county of Frontenac, beg to report that we have under the directions of your honor, visited the different institutions suggested to us in your address. We visited the coun- ity jail and much credit is due to the igovernor, C. H. Corbett, who is ever | painstaking in having things in the best order. We might mention the m- provements in the sanitary line which have just been completed in an up-to- {date manner. There are at present only eleven prisoners in the jail, a re- markably small pumber for this 'time of year, which goes to show 'that 'erime and vice are on the decline in (this vidnity. The prisoners are all "men. no women being confined, "We also wish to draw attention to the way the cement tiles are being made in the jail. We recommend that this work - he kept up, as."in a short time, it will be quite a profit to the county, and we further suggest that this work be supervised by the turn- key, and save the cost to the county of an outside man emploved for that purpose, We also suggest that some reading matter of good quality be pro- vided for the prisoners' benefit and in- struction, and an hour or so each day allowed them for this purpose. "We also visited the asylum and i penitentiarv, and, while we regret the necessity of these institutions, we can- {not but express our admiration of the {way they are managed. We next vis- lited, the hehoitel and Hotel Dieu, and found everything in the most satisfac- torv condition, scrupulously clean and lup to-date in their management. We found the Orphans' Home in good or- | der, but inadeuuate far the number to be-rcared for.
