Short Apologues
X wiso man one day asked the serpent, ii of what advantage is it to thee to depiive men of lii'e? The lion kills and devours his prey. The tiger, the wolf, and other fievce beasts do the samo, in order t0 satisfy their hunger; but thou bitcst (hine innocent vietims,and sheddest mortal poison in their veins, without reaping any benefit from their death, save the cruel fjtisfaction oi' destroying.'' "Why asketh thou tne this question ?" reioined the "reptile. " Ask rather the slanderer among thine own race, what nleasuro he finds ín poisoning unto death ihose who have never injured hiro." THE WOBM AND THE FLV. The worm and the íly one day liad a disputo. The fly despised the worm, and gjiJ, "All the earth is my free heritage. I enter the palaee of kiqgs, rest on their beads, and cat at their tables. I fly whithersoever I eboose, and feed on the most dainty sweets ; whilst thou, crawling and sbject, canst not rise one inch froin the round." C"I cannot fly, it is trae, replied the oral, " and yet I am every vvhere - in esrtli, in water, in the bodies oi' both men and beasts ; and if thou boasteth of feeding on nian's daintiest food, I feed on nian himself." THE MAN' AND THE VlSüb In one of the early years after the orearon of the world, man began to plant a vine, and Satan saw it and drew near. "What planteth thou, son of the earth f.' aid tho prince of demons. ',"A vine I" replied the man. "What are the properties of this tree ! ' V Oh, lts fruit is pleapant to look at, and delicious to taste. From it is produced a ptecious liquid whicb. filis the heart with y." "Weil. since wiue makes giad the heart of man, Í will help to plaut this tree." gosaying, the dernon brought a lamb and slew it" then a lion, then an ape, and last of' all a pig, killing each in succession, and moiitening the roots of the vine with 1 theblood. Thence it has happened ever since, tliat 1 when a man drinks a sinall portion of 1 wine, he beeornes gentle and caressing as I slamb; after a little more, strong and I bold as a lion ; when he drinks still more, b resembles au ape in his folly and ab.;rdand mischievous aetions; but wlion has swaliowed the liquid to excess, he slike apig wallowing in the miic. THE MIgi:ii. A niiser who, in order to save expense, sed to draw water every day for his daily -o, feil one inorning into the well. Sev-rai persons ran to his aid, and stooping down satd, with compassion - " Give yonr and and we will draw you out!" "Give!" cried the miscr, ''give! I never ve anytlnng!" " So he sank ueneath the water, and was drowned. THK ÜKGOAR A.VD TUK I.la-KR. A poor beggar, overwhelmed with want and misery, resolved one day to drovvn himself. Arrived at the brink of the river, 1 was about to throw himself in, when a leper who was passing asked him to point out tho dwelling of"a certain physician, wlo might perhaps be able to cure him. "Brother." said the beggar, " you had better follow my example, and thus speedily delivcr yourself from your malady." "No," replied the leper. " I wish to recover. I amby no means tired of. lid'." A wise man, who was passing by, and hcard the dialogue, then said : " My friends, if you each persist in your Srst resolation', you ought to exchange your moties of aetion ; let the leper plunge frequently into the water, and he will be kaled; while you, poor man, may cominit suicide in the speediest and most certain manrier possible, by puttjng yourself ato the hands of a physician."

In the water closet the seat and the ventilation are bad, and both should be enlarged. The outside cellar doors and six feet of the north platform and a Bill to the north door, and a platform around the well, all should be made new. The stove in the hall is broke and unsafe. A new one is recommended. The ashes are now depbslted in one of the cells in the centre of the building, and must be unsafe and inconvenient. AVe would recommend an ash house made of brick to be built in a suitaable place outside of the building. We would recommend an appropnation of $100 for the beforementioned pnrposes. The Sheriff informa your Committee that four iron bedsteadsare needed for the jail. We would recommend that lic procure them at the expense of the County. Your Committee have also visited the County Poor House and find the same very neat and clean, and all in an excellent condition. The oíd original County Toor House, a building 40 feet by ÍK) feet nceds a new roof and will require 38,000 shingles, 150 poimds öf nails, besides labor, as follows : hinglei nsi 00 Nails e 7.-, Labor 66 50 ,,T , , $2 6 2.") as estimated.

Willard Babbitt, prosecuting Attorney, made the following report in relation to indigent insane: Ooi ii k OF l'iiosi; i;tincí Attokney. 1 Ann Arbor, Mich., K77. To the Honorable Board of Supervisóla of Waslitcnaw County i li obedience to a resolution of your body, calling upon the l'roscCUting Attorney to report whether in his opinión the indigent insane sent to the asyluna under the provisions of section 1ÍKÍ4 of the Compiled Laws should become a county charge, 1 would respectfuliy report hat in the íirst instaure the charge is purely a counly charge (sec secüon l'Jölij and must make provisión by tax. Section 1944, however, provides that the County, acting by the Board of Supervisors, inay have the right to require any individual town or city that islegally Hable for the support of such person to reimburse the County. Section 1S47 provides that the poor ha ving a setllement !n auv tpwnahip shall become a township charge in those counties in whiefi the Board of Supervisors have not abolished the distinction between county and township poor. Section üj:;l The indigent insane shall bekept in the asylum at the expense of the County to wbich he belongs for two years, and until removed by order of the Board of' Supervisors, of such county, and the Board shall raise moy.ey requisite to meet the expense of supporting such indigent person. Section l!i;!7. If indigent insane shall besent the asylum by his friends, who havo paid his bilis therein fer six months, he shail continue in such asylum for the next three years at the expense of the County, uppn showing annually that such person remains in indigent dreumstances, and the Superintendent of the Asylum certifying annually that hc is a üt patiënt and likely to be benefitted by remaining. Section 3042. The price of keeping poor and indigent persons shali be annually fixed by the the trustees of the asylum, and they may require payment to be made quarterly or semi-annually in acívanee. Section 1943. Any township or city that would have been bound by !av to provide for and support such person if he liad not been sent to the asylum shall be liable to pay the expense of such person in the asylum, and the expenses going to and coming from the asylum. Sce sections L823 and 1S47. As a person in indigent circumstances who is insane, and has no relation who would be liable for his support would require from the Supervisor of his township or ward, or froni a superintendent of the poor, either temporary or permanent relief then the expense of cariag for such indigent or poor person .would become a charge upon the township or ward in which such indigont or pooiperron has a settleinent. My opinión, therefore, is that the exprnse of keeping the indigent insane becomes a charge upon the the township or ward in which such indigent person has a settlement. The law is unmistakable.
