LINDSAY Dear Sir,-â€"-Your letter received of 8th inet. and in reply must say that we have none receiving aid from the municipality, and I know of none at present that would be obliged to go to a House of Refuge In making enquiries of others on the part of the township I find they are of the same opinion.

Dear Sinâ€"Replying to yours dated 8th inst., would say that at present this municipality has two permanent inmates in the “Home,” Lindsay whom they are supporting. Outside of these there are two other regular applicants for charity but the grants are small and neither of them would, I think, be likely to become inmates of the proposed “House of Refuge.” Faithfullly yours, R. J. GRAN DY, clerk, Emily. Victoria Road, Feb. 10. 1900. George Lytle, Eeq-, Lindsey. Dear Slr,-â€"Iu reply to your letter of the 85h inst. There are only two persons in this township who-are receiving aid from the council. I think there are only those two at preeenb that are fit to be- come inmate: of an House of Refuge. You: ob’d’t servant. ALFRED TAYLOR, township clerk. The municipality of Somerville has at present three persons dependent on the [funds for maintenance. One in an old ‘man who gave the township fifty dollars some three years ago, the township to support him the remainder of his life. It costs $54.73 per year. Another, an in- valid, is maintained at the “House of Providence” at a cost of $75 per year. Another is a cripple thst we can’t find snvone to keep willingly. He is now with some relatives who want to get rid of him, and it costs as $54.75 per yeer to keep him. There is one or two other: that would be much better in a House oi Refuge, andI have no donut would go there if there were such a place. Yours ‘ truly. SAM.

We have also five more getting spectal gaants. and I think probably aggregating about the same amount. I see by the report of the treasurer, our indigents cost us $339.15 for 1899 and $319.41 for 1898- and I do not thin}: more than a quarter of them would go to the House of Refuge ‘ willingly. and possibly not even thati Sinâ€"In reply to your favor of yester- dey. Only one at present; can’t tell as to the future. J. C. GILCHRIST, clerk. Mr. Geo. Lytle, 1811 House of Refuge shall be built in Victoria county. Since actual informa- tion will doubtless be much more prized by intelligent readers than mere appeal without the facts, we wrote to all the clerks of municipalities asking how many persons receive aid and how many would likely enter the Refuge should one be built. These gentlemen are well ac- quainted with the circumstances and in most cases favored us with a reply. Herewith are these replies : At the next: J ennary elections 3 plebis- clbe wlll be again taken on whether or nob INASMUCH AS YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO THESE Information Regarding the Needy of this County Omemee, February 9gb, 1900.

Over hsif of the fetaltiee were among babies and little children, and at night there were about forty bodies of little 0.225 iylng at the morgue at Belie- vue. Dear Sinâ€"In answer to your recent communication of inquiry as to the assist- ance given by Ops council to indigents, I beg to report that at present Ops contri- lbutes to the maintenance of three in- ;mates of the Home for the Aged, Lindsay, ‘ 15 cents per day each, or $164. 25 per annum. Three other poor families in the township receive amongst them about ten dollars a month. Besides this the council are occasaionaily called upon to pay for medical attendance for such families when sickness afliiots them. Owing to the good health prevailing throughout the township during the past few years. and the almost entire absence of epidemic and contagious diseases the cost of doctoring and nursing helpless or dependent families is compar atively less, but the cost of procuriuer fuel for such families is greater owing to the scarcity of wood. The three now in the Home would likely enter the House of Refuge. Yours truly, W. F. O’BOYLE, clerk. Mr. Geo. Lytle. Were a House of Refuge built the Home for the Aged inmates would likely be removed to same, but 1 do nob think the charity expenditure would be reduced thereby. Yours truly, F. KNOWLSON. town clerk. The charity account of the town ex- ciusive of the payments to the Home for the Aged for board of six or seven town inmates and exciusive of hospital expenses for the treatment of indigent patients of the town sent to the hospitals from time to time does not amount to much. About $250 annually covers the expenses for charity over and above the items mention- ed and includes expenses for burial of in. digent-s, railway fares and orders for wood and provisions for the poor. Dear Shyâ€"In compliance with your re. quest of to-day asking for a statement Of amount expended on charity in the town of Lindsay and whether in my opinion a House of Refuge would be a benefit to the town I beg to state : George Lytle, Esq. Deer Sinâ€"In reply to your enquiry re number receiving assistance from poor rate of the township of Fenelon, I would ssy in reply that at the present time there are only two. The assistance amount'3 probably to $40 in the year. As to the probability of their becoming inmates o the proposed House of Refuge I cannot say. Yours truly, J. B. PuWLss, clerk. Powles‘ Corners, Feb. 16, Editor Watchman-Warden Dear Simâ€"In reply to yours of Feb. 8. I may say that there are four persons re- ceiving aid in our municipality. I regard an House of Refuge as being necessary. Your: respectfully, ALEX. MONTGOMERY, clerk, Dalton. Geo. Lytle. an House of Refuge weae one built. Yours truly, JOHN A. JACKSON. Geo . Lytie, Esq. , Lindsay. Dear Sir,-â€"Replylng to your letter of 8th inst. I beg to say that there are seven persons in receipt of charity, regularly, from our municipality. Five of this number would likely become inmates of Dear Sinâ€"In reply to yours, I do not know that the village is maintaining any one at present. There is one in the hos- pital at public expense, but that would not apply. As for likely inmates I can only hear of one, and one other who should be maintained at some such place as a refuge, by her relatives. Yours truly, CHAS. E. STEWART. Geo. Lytle, Esq.

Besides this there are a few who at times get small grants of ‘85 or $10 as their case requires. As to, 3how many would llkely become inmates of a House of Refuge I can hardly sayâ€" posslbly with the one In the Home for the Aged at present, three or more, and probably not more than two. This is however, more guesswork on my part. Yours very truly, GEO. W. TAYLOR. Boboavgeon, Feb. 10. 1900‘ Lornevflle, Feb. 12. Llndaay, J uly 21, 1900. Lindsay, July 21, 1900.

[Little, though out of practlce, made the {boys remember the baseball of yore by ‘ ls expert work, especially those throws to first. The best performance of that sort and the cleverest play of the game was Elliott’s throw to second. O’Hara is a great shortstop and his three bagger got him bouquets. Miller played well and. helped the good work along by his two base hit that let two men in. Sullivan is a host. His pitching is superb, in fact he did not seem to let hlmeelf out although he tangled up the vlsltora so badly. No one else struck quite as well as the penlv tentlary man.
