Durham, February 27, 1879. We have received the Report on the Adulteration of Food for the year 1878. It appears that 813 samples have been analysed, of which 271 have been returned as aduliterated,and 19 as of doubtful purity, As to the adulterants, it is satisfactory to know on the testimony of the analysts, «that they are generally of a harmless «haracter. Still it is very unjust to the consumer, and morally very reprehensible in the manufacturer, that the practico of adulteration should be allowed to attain the gigantic proportions which it has done in our day, and in this country. In Great Britain where the Aduiteration of Foods Aot is rigidly enforeed, the practice is reduced to a minimum, and we hope the Like result will soon be reached in Canada. of mekled cucumbers, gherkins, &., were found to contain so large a percentage of eopperas as to be injurious to life. â€"As our readers are aware the next World‘s Fair is to be held at Mclbourne, Australia, in 1880, and the news has reachâ€" ed us that the foundation stone of the Exâ€" hibition building has just been laid.

The total cost last year for the five asylams smounted to $270,165.95, which after deducting $36,â€" Ti3 27 from paying patients a balance agminst the Province of $233,499.58 or a yearly gosf per patient of $185.20.

In the Blind Asylum at Brantford there were 175 pupils in attendance as compared with 148 in the preceeding year, at a cost of $151.80 per pupil per annum. These Pubâ€" lie Charities are doing a great and blessed work forthe public as a whole, and the surplus funds of the Province caunot be expendad to a better purpose,than in mainâ€" taining in the highest state of efficiency those institutions which, unfortunately, the advances of sivilization seem to render more and more necessary. ing or that the provisions of the Aet angut adulâ€" teratien of food.will be strictly enforced,, so thst the consumer may rely on the parity and wholeaemeness of the articles which be pays for. _ This volume which has been recently laid on the table of the House of Assembly, eontains a large amount of valuable and interesting information about the working of the Public Charities of the Province, during the last year. The increased atâ€" tention which is given in our day, to these institutions in all civilized counâ€" trcs, is deserving of all praise, and eertainly the Province of Ontario is rot behind in making provision for the unfortunate class of persons who be come inmates of public asylums. The hospital for the insame is an institution of modern times. ‘The first of the kind, of which there is any mention was among the ancient Egyptians who seens to have used their temples for this pw#pose, and in mediaeval times, churehes and monastcries were oftem used as places of refuge for Junâ€" atics. The wellâ€"known Bediam, which was urigindly used as a convent, was conâ€" verted into a hospital for the insane during: the reign of Henry the Eighth, but the |lunatic asylum proper, dates no further ‘ back than the beginning of the present century, In ancient times the treatment ! of insane persons was of the most barâ€" | barous character. In the early days of Bedâ€" ‘ lam the patients were cxhibited to the pub« lie hke wild beasts, in cages, at so much per head, and were made sport of by the visitâ€" ors, as if they bad been animals in a menâ€" ageric. But withm recent years a great revolution has taken place in the views of society generally, as well as of the medical | profession as to the proper treatment of |\the insame. Everything is being done that ean minister to their physical and moral well being. â€" Great attention is paid to cleanliness, diet, eclothing, exercise, and amusement, and rational kindness has taken the place of terror and eruclty, The first asylum for the insane in Upper ‘('nundu was opened in 1841, at Toronto, | and in 1845 the foundation stone of the | buildingnow known as the Lunatie Asylum | was laid, and the build ng fitted for the | reception of patients in 1850, â€" It has since | then been very muclt eularged to meet the | requirements of the Proviutce, but the numâ€" lbcr of the insane has been increasing so {rnpidly. that now there are no less than | five asylums at Toronto, London, Kingston and Hamilton, and an asyluimm for idiots at Orillia. ‘The total humber of patients in these five institutions last year was 2,546, | being an increare of 505 over the previous | year. â€" This forms the large proportion of 1 ] to every 700 of the population. The proâ€" ,porfiuu of females is slightly in excess of | the males. _ As to the occupation of ! those admitted into the asylums, by far the larger proportion is furnished by farmâ€" ers, domestic servants and labourers whereâ€" as the various trades furnish a small proâ€" portion comparatively. ‘The causes o° inâ€" ) sanity are very important and offer a wide and profitable field for investigation to the stotesman as well as the physician, but the classification of causes given i1 this Report is very defective and is of very | little use. â€" This is the only defective porâ€" tion indeed in it, and it is to be hoped that more care and discrimination will be given in iuture to this important part of the sut â€" joet. For instance heredity is admitted on all hands to be a most powerful factor, if not ’ the most powerful, in producing the preâ€" disposition to insanity. But the report simply gives the number ot patients, whose ancestors we presume, were themselves affticted with mmsanity,â€"and of these there was the large proportion of 1 to 4}â€"without giving any clue to the diseases to which “hev’r ancestors were liable. _ Again there E is no information as to the diseases to which the patients were liable before admissiov. ‘This is to be regreted, for a knowledge of the previous disease, which together with the hereditary predisposition form the preâ€" disposing causes, would throw much light on the nature of the insanity and its treatâ€" ment. Te Report contents itself simâ€" ply with giving in a â€" rough and rsady fashion a list of moral and physical causes. From f1is table we learn that masturbatiod, intemperance, domestic troubleâ€"a most {nasfinite and nnscigntific term â€" Reiigions exo.'.mment’ and business anxiety, were the chief OK" citing canses of the attacks of insanity durâ€" ing last year. o d l Tur Trustees of the Canada Methodist THE REPORT ON ASYLUMB, &c. gn age uts wh.ch are used for colourâ€" 0‘* Pw' _Jl is to be huped A Fatat shooting accident iappened at Maple Hill, on Saturday week.

Sr,â€"At the last meeting of the County Councll the question of representation was brougut up by the Reeve of Glenelg in a motion "That the Warden memoralize the House of Assembly so to amend the Muniâ€" cipal Law as to have only one representaâ€" tive from each township in the County Council." This would certainly be a step in the right direction,. We may not be governed too well, but surely we are govâ€" erned too much. I can see not valid reason why twenty men cannot do the business of the County as well or better, cheaper and qvieker than forty men. As a rule the Deputies think, speak, and vote as the Reeves of their respoctive townsh:ips, and the only results are much time wasted in useless discussion, and much money wasted in indemmnitics and otherwise. Now I believe the Deputies are just as able and intelligent a class of men as the Reeves, but I also believe that they are imbued with so much partriotism as to forgoe the honors and emoluments of office if in the interests of the country.
