According to the annual report cf the State Hoard of Charities there are only about fourteou rtally good jails in our Utato- Of theromainitig Cfty-threo a few, perhaps a dozen, aro tolerable, and the other forty ono aro bad iu adiuinibttatiou, and for the moot part iu construction Tho l'tenideut in his ' address in veighs against the custom of detain ing in prison witnesses whose uttend ance is dctircd at criminal prosecu tions. The wrong to tho citizen tak en from bis home for this purpose is commented upon in ligorous terms 'It is almost equally as wrongcon tiaaes the report, 'to incarcerato with convicted criminals those who are only charged with crime, and, crime not being proved, are presum ed innocont, and, iu point of faet, tery ofton are so.' To remedy these evils the Commissioners make tho following recommendations: 1, tho abolition of government by sheriffs under the fca system, and tho sub stitution of a board of inspectors, nppointed wholly or in part by the court) 2, absoluto separation of pris oners in all county jaild, by confine ment in colls; 3, placing womou un der charge of women in n distinct building; 4, treating detained wit ness as fteo mon iu comfortable quarters, and properly compensated for Iobs of time; 4, provisions for the ctcady omployueut of all prisoners, for their own comfort, happiness and health. The jails in Fnyetto, Cumberland, Crawford, Jefferson, tiomerset, Ven ango, Washington end Wyoming counties call for epeoial comment on tbe part of tbe Cocnmiseionots as de fective or badly managed. Schuyl kill County is considered to Luvo the tost jail in tho ftl&ta. Commenting on the Fourth of July Stubbing Qllruy at Halinsgrove, a corronpoudout to the daily puporn from Sunbury recalls the ciroura stannoa of tho former trial of (ioorge Venriek as follows: lno trial of this mau VV'enrik for tbe killing of IV Wagonsollor occurr ed in Middleburgh, Snyder oouuly, about fifteen years ago. It excited great interest throughout that whole nectiou ef country because of the prominence and popularity of Dr. tVngousellur. He was a gentlemau of moaus and large political influence, commanding the respect of all who kucw him. Tho family of Wcnrick had by soma means cruutod more or less feeling in his behalf, and there was nomo fear that there might be a tuiueurriuge of justice. In order to iuhuro a thorough and vig jroas proso culion tho friends of Dr. Wugoui-ullor sucured the professional services tf tho lion. A. J. Herr. of the Dauphin county Hi r. The defendent retained a long army of eminent counsel, anions them being Hon. Andrew Dill, Liuu and Zoiglcr. Judgo lSiicher presided iu court. Tho trial occupied seveial days and uights, ending iu tho conviction of Wetaick for murder in tho focond degree. It won a finite vi.M'C, an 1 tho tra dition e f many of tho ejciling events attending it are still vivid among tho pooplo. Ooe of the most ufLcting scones was when tbe counsel for Wenrick placed at his side a young beautiful girl to whom be was en gaged to be mat-tied, and his connsel nmdo a pathetio appeal for morcy for the prisoner on acoount of this llluJo o Graes, ns be called ber. The jury and spectators were deeply affected, and it looked aB if sympathy would turn tho scales in favor of his client. Hut Mr. Ucrr, in a ruott powerful address that awed and thrilled every ono who hoard it, as bo depicto 1 tho awful crimo of murder, the desolato homo of tho dead man and bis agony iu tho terrible death ho suffered, soon turned the sympathy from tho living to tho dead and won a conviction, which at firot seomod hopeless.
