existence of which they are not responsible,
and over which they have no control.
The boys who are lying in our jail today
for consenting to one of the most heinous of
crimes, were either orphans, or worse than or
phans, in the possession of parents whose con-
slant example of depravity covered them like
cloak. OF the three hundred committed to
the Westboro' school alone last year, more
than eighty per cent. had lost one or both pa
rents, had parents one or both of whom were
Incorporate, or had parents who did not live
together. They were children who never
knew the blessing of kind treatment, or the
happiness of that early moral teaching which
like good angel, generally follows man
through lite. They were tlroUn into the midst
influences out of which thieves, incendialies,
and murderers are made, and only learned too
faithfully from their pernicious teachers, that.
vice was sign ofmanly conduct, and petty adj
ventures in crime an indication of youthful
courage. Their habits have been to a certain
extent formed, their natures have been defiled
by the premature knowledge of vicious and
criminall things, before society or the law
identifies them and take them into their
charge. And any person who has an easily
besetting sin haunting him like demon in
spite ofeyery effort to resist or destroy thefe ar
full possession, knows how difficult it is to I'M
learn a habit which it has become in any
way pleasant to indulge. If under such
circumstances, there is anything remarkable
in the subsequent development of their char
acters, it consist not in the fact that so many
leave the reform school for the harsher discp-
line and more enduring shame of the prison,
but that so many are measurably reformed,
and, put in the way OF leading useful and
honorable lives. In estimating the value of
existing agencies Of reform, it is not proper to
assume that they have control over the most
unimpressible' obduracies of character, and to
charge. them with remissness or failure if
any portion of their subjects fall into crime.
1t gratifies impulse, when, in spite of all
watchfulness and all care, great misfortunes
happen, to denounce the system under which
they occur. And it is not surprising, in view
of the exhibitions of depravity lately made at
at Westboro' and at Deer Island, that some
should be induced to question whether reform
schools might not be abolished altogether,
and the Jails and Houses of Correction
left to do their unfinished work. The doubt
may be INDUCED while the excitement last.
But every sentiment of regard for the
children of misfortune, and for the best in
terests of society condemns it. 1t is not
to be seriously talked of and debated up
on whether the system may be dispensed
with, but only how it may be reformed. The
deep and general interest awakened in the
subject will not fail to suggest Improvements
and reforms which will raise it above the crit
cisms to which il is sometimes exDosed

FREsnET IN UxBRIDGE.-The bulxhead at
the waste-way Of the pond of the Uxbridge
Wooden Manufacturing Company, in that town,
was carried away by the force of the water, at
about 10 o'clock Friday morning. The pond
is situated directly north of and adjoining the
road leading from Uxbridge to Mendon, the
road itself forming part of the dam.
The ireshet of last spring did considerable
damage at this point, undermining in part the
foundations of the bridge over the race-way.
Temporary repairs were made at that time, but
difference Of opinion between the company
and the town authorities, as to which of the
two parties was bound TO make the repairs and
restore the premises to a safe condition, caused
the work to be abandoned at that time.
On Thursday last the company notified the
Selectmen that they should not complete the

Of the recent calamity at Westboro', or with
entering too infinitely into the incidents and
circumstances which attended it They all

offenders should DO treated, what are the proper

are the best incentives to reformation. Without

The STATE REFORM ScHooL.-The prop
to the Trustees the new Jail at Fitchburg for
the occupancy of portion of the boys, six
months, for $4,000, or one year, (if not needed
for use as a JAIL for $1,000 the Trustees to
furnish it, and be at the expense of all fixtures,
&C., as well as agreeing to insure the building
against loss by fire, was, after consideration,
not accepted by the Trustees. The latter then
proceeded to secure lease of the old steam
mill building of Messrs. Vinton & Saunders
where portion of the boys were temporarily
put, Immediately after the fire. The terms of
the lease are, one year for 500, the Trustees
to be at the expense of alterations, fixtures,
&C., and to insure the building for S35. This
building, it is thought, can be so arranged in
its interior as to accommodate from $50 to 100
boys. 1t is proposed to have the shoe making
department of the institution here.
The remaining four hundred belonging to
the school it is proposed to accommodate at
the institution, by building up the centre or
dormitory wing. Thirty of these dormitories
are not destroyed, and can be occupied as soon
as the roof is put on This is to be immedi-
ately DONE
great many advantages are gained by
having all the boys confined in the vicinity of
the old establishment, inasmuch as this course
secures the continuance of the contracts for
furnishing labor for the boys, lin the chair and
shoe manufacture, &c.) Large contracts of this
kind for three years ahead had been concluded
just previous to the fire, and these would have
been forfeited, had not the Trustees filled
them Immediately.
