Prisons in tlie United States.

The forthcoming report of the Rev. Dr. Wines, Secretary of the New York Prison Association, will contaii an account of the condition and results.of all the State prisons in the country for the year 1867, so far as the information .could be. obtained by correspondence and the study of published reports. A statistical table will accompany the account, which will be in some degree a continuation of the celebrated report of Drs. Wines and Dwight on the Prisons and Reformatories of the United States. From this it will appear that, while nearly all the States of the Union have one State prison each, there are two States. Pennsylvania and Indiana, that haye 'two each, and one, New York, with three.1 But, on the other hand, the States of Delaware, West Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Nebraska, have none, though Nebraska, North Carolina, and, we believe, West Virginia, are building prisons. The smallest prison is that of Nevada, with only twenty convicts —the largest is that at Sing Sing, New York, with about 1,400, of both sexes. The six next in size are those of Ohio, at Columbus Illinois, at Joliet New York, at Auburn California, at San ^uentin Maryland, at Baltimore and Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia none of which have more than 1,000 convicts, and those of California and Philadelphia had on the first of October, 1868, only 678 and 607 respectively. The average number in all the State prisons of the five largest States, of Nev York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, was respectively about 2,850, 1,030, 1,000, 960, and 675, while in California it was 504, or, in proportion to the population more than twice as many as in either of the largest States.

In all New England the average number of State prison convicts was less than 1,150, while in New Jersey alone, with a population less than a fourth part as great, there are nearly half as mauy, namely, 540. In Massachusetts the average number wus 537 in 1867, and 546 in 1868. In the Southern States a very large proportion of the convicts are colored persons in Maryland, for example, out of 679 convicts 388 were colored in Virginia, out of 535, 415 were colored in South Carolina, of 280, 241 were colored, and so on. These colored convicts are often sentenced for comparatively slight offenses, such as the planters used to punish on their own estates. Very few of the State prisons are self supporting, and nearly all that pay their own expenses are in New England. In Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the convicts earn more money than the cost of their support, and they sometimes do this in Rhode Island. Ohio and Kentucky are the only other States that have self-sup-porting prisons, although those in In diana, Wisconsin and Nevada come near it. In New York the jrearly deficit is between $150,000 and $200,000 in Pennsylvania it is nearly $100,000, in California about $5,000, and New Jersey $50,000 and upward.

There is no necessity for any such deficit, and when the true principles of prison management are understood and acted upon throughout the country, the earnings of all the State prisons will equal or exceed their expenses. The Connecticut prison for more than forty years has more than paid all its expenses. Ours at Charlestown has done so nearly half the time for forty years, and so has the New Hampshire prison. In Vermont, on the other hand, the prison has paid its expenses in only three out of the sixty years since it was opened at

rHIS

excellent medicinal compound was first prepared by Dr. J. W. POLAND, In 1847, nd was then employed with great success in spelling humors from the blood but in 1848 a ledical friend who was quite celebrated as a pliyslian, especially in the treatment of humors, sugested some important improvements, which were dopted, and which has made it (so the people say) he very best remedy for all kinds of hnuiors known "the faculty."

This preparation is composed entirely of vegetales, among which are Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, table Pine, Mandrake, and Bloodroot.

When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at Joffstown Centre, for the space of thirty or forty oiles around, and in Manchester particularly, the lumor Doctor was well known and highly valued or the numerous and wonderful cures which it effected. Though manufactured in large quantities, he supply was frequently exhausted, and purchases had to wait for more to be made. In that re(ion, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were reated with, —and they were cured I Erysipelas ores, or carbuncles,—those ugly, painful ulcers, -were entirely removed wherever this medicine vas faithfully used. So it was with Scrofula and jalt-Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them.

It is free liom any dangerous drugs, is pleasant to he taste, safe, yet sure and eifective in its action.
