1W" bURHAM, Nov’r 24th, 1898. As intimated in last issue of this paper we are not prepared to discuss the pros and cons in connection with the House of Refuge question so 2100!: to be submitted for the elector- :ate to vote upon, but feeling that the public should be informed on the .question, we give Opinions from dif- ferent sources. GRAND JURY’S PRESENTMENT. From the Grand Jury’ 8 present- ment at the last assize made by Mr. Thomas Gilray, chaixman we quote the following which refers to the F establishment of a. House of Refuge: l l 5‘ l E E l Mr. Bowen Aylesworth, Liberal, «us elected in Lennox Bye Election, against Dr. Meacham by a majority .01 75, or 32 more than he had at the general election in March last. A :second protest is talked about on ac- .ol alleged “ crooked work.” “ I! I consider it will serve the in- iterests of this Division I will place ~the nomination at Feversham though .all the editors of this county should zunitedly pour out an avalanche of their mighty brains,” says John Irwin, of Red Wing in the Thornbury .Standard. This profound announce- ment shows John’s exalted opinion .of his own wisdom. but for a public man, seeking for public honors, to so insult the press of the County shows. 'to say the least, a very great lack of judgment. If one editor’s criticism doesn't suit you John, fight him, but don’t throw out an open challange to to the whole lot. It’s not wise. The Coroners jury in the Murray .tragegy at Beuverton returned a .verdict that Wm. Murray came to his death at the hands of one Edward Elliott. tOFFICEâ€"Mclntyre Block, (Over the Bank) BARRIS’I‘ER, NOTARY, CON- VEYANCER. Eta. Etc. Money to.

The Liberals, being short of evi- dence have decided to abandon the protest against Mr. Marter, of North ‘Toronto, What a pity they couldn’t get the snperannuated, Rev. Mr. Dewar, in his place. He might purify their politics, The petition Ingainst Andrew White Conservative, of North Renfrew was dismissed. no .evidence being proved. The petition .against Holmes, Liberal of Haldi- mand was similarly disposed of for the same reason. Referring to your Lordship’s timely and efl'ective remarks with reference to the no- t-assity of erecting a Poor House in this county, we may sav that we heartily agree with our opinion t rat a county 80 large and wealthy as ours, should no longer be with )ut one. We are pleased to notice that the :onnty council are movmg m the matter in the right direction. and we strongly com- nend to the good sense and human feelings if all ratepayers the desirability of their 'ecording their votes in January next, in 'avor of erecting such a building. and in ~he event of the vote being favorable we just that the council will lose no time in ftroviding this much needed institution. 3 - THE moon’s REPLY. ' His Lordship made a feeling and appro- ‘sriate reply. He was happy to be informed hat steps were being taken to ascertain . 'ublic sentiment with regard to the erection . a House of Refu .e. In no question was more deeply interested than in that of purity. and he assured the jurors that their r;freseutment would be forwarded to the . oper authorities. In scathing terms he , erred to the poor ventilation and general ‘iserable accommodation of the court room thanked the jury for their kind refer- to himself. Like many others he was tting older. and it was improbable that _ would have many more opportunities of ' 'ting the County of Grey.

She is a suflerer from rheumatism, her hands b tug distorted by that disease. It is a crying evil that such a rson as this, who, .as we said before, has n guilty of no crime, should be made to 9 nd the last days of her life With .the cgieminals and vagabound classes. . It is to be hoped that the next odort that is made in the County Council. which effort we trust will be made at the next session, to remedy hundredyearsoldand that shown-(b, this or] mllbe successful and that aglouse ! without the stigma which attaches to im- prisonment. Bruce County has erected a fine house of retuge, Wthh Will be 0 ened shortly, and this county should not be- hind in this respect, THE MAIL AND EMPIRE. “Iconoclast”, a Doctor of Walkerton writing in The Flaneur column of The Mail and Empire asks:â€""Are our hospitals, hous- es of refuge, asylums, and kindred institu- tions a benefit to the race ? He says " Na- ture. by the elimination of. the .unfit, .seeks to improve the stock. This elimination is accomplished by the weakhngs yielding to intem perance, dissipation, disease, and hlth, to which forces they succumb in the ordin- ary course ot events, and thus improve it. N 0w, however, we snatch this class out from under the relentless wheel, rush themofl‘ to , some public institution, have the disease ‘ su posedly cured or parts removed, and the in ividual is turned loose, to beget other weaklings, who occupy the room of, or are a ‘Y tax upon, the healt portion of the com- munity. Compare this With the conditions which have prevailed for so many centuries in the Scottish Highlands, where the climate only permitted the most vigorous to reach maturity, and see what a race has been pro- duced. From a utilitarian standpoint it would seem that these institutions are a curse to the race rather than a benefit.” THE FLANEUR REPLY, “ The change proposed would directly traverse all the accepted views of mortality, religion, and philanthropy. It meansâ€"it it means anythingâ€"that it a man is poor, let him die; it a man or woman is getting old or feeble let them die ; in fact that the world is onl inteded for the healthy and wealthy and t rat the lame. the halt, the blind, and the poor have no right to cumber the earth With their obtrusive presence. If this be not the logical outcome of the argument of “ Iconoclast ” I should like to know what it Died as his residence South Dur- ham Road, Glenelg, on Saturday morning at 12:45. the 12th inst., Mr. Chas. McDonald in his 59 year. The subject which is under our consider- ation was born in the township of Vaughan near the village of Klein- burg on December 15th, 1839. He moved with his father, the late Archibald McDonald and family to the township of Glenelg on the 14th February, in the year 1851 and set- tled on lot 41, N. D. R., two miles west of Priceville, Mr. McDonald was twice married, first to a Miss Christina McEachern, of Lochaber, P. Q., from which he had a family of one daughter, now Mrs. Neil Uame- ron. of Boothville. His second wife being Miss Maggie McKechnie, youngest daughter of the late Alex, McKechnie, who survives him with a young family of three sons and one daughter, the eldest son being 17 years of age. Mr. McDonald’s first wife died on the 5th of March, 1877. He lived in the township of Egre- mont on lot 19, con. 21 for a num- ber of years. Form thence he moved to the place where he ended his car- eer. His sickness was of short dura- tion being inflammation of the lungs. Dr. Hutton, his attending physician, did all that could be possible to save his life, but friends nor physic- ian could not stay the heavy hand of death when the allotted time is end- ed. Death has no regard to the cries of - the orphan or the tears of the beloved wife or the weeping of be- loved brothers and sisters. The friends of the subject of our sketch have one and the only consolation given that although they mourn they do not mourn as those without hope for our beloved friend had testified his full assurance of enjoying ever- lasting happiness in the regions be. yond. The funeral on Monday the 14th inst. was largely attended, pay- ing a last tribute of respect to him who was beloved by all who formed his acquaintance and by his removal the first link was broken in a familv of six brorhers and four sisters. The Rev, Mr. Matheson, deceased’s pas. tor, preached an effective sermon at the house and again in the Church it. being well filled. He took for his text Revelations 14 chapter and 13 verse: I heard a voice from heaven. etc. The remains were laid to rest beside his first wife. Thus ended the earthly pilgrimage of a loving husband. a tender father and abe- loved brother. -vv- -vv-'--vv is. At the same time, mind you, there is an undercurrent of unpalatable truth in what he says.” One of Mr. Alex. McEachern’s daughters is sick with typhoid fever. We sincerely hope she will be better soon. The bell at Top Clifi school was again put. in ringing order on Satur- day last after a silence of a few months. Mr. Arch.
