THE lNFIRMARY.--Withso some ten or q dozen
gentlemen from various parts of the county,
we paid a visit on Tuesday last, to our County
lniirmary. County Commissioner WRIGHT,
Messrs. KINNEAR, NEWTON and DoEI, the
Directors, Mr.. l.. Could of Conneaut, Mr..
Smith, of Geneva, Dr. Webster, of Kingsyille.
and Others with the editors of the Sentinel.
and daughter, and Telegraph, andwitc, made
up the company. A ride upon such a bright
ana comfortable winters day, the airy and
pleasant paIlors Of the house, the efforts of the
host and hostess, with a fair representation of
intelligence and gentlcmanly bearing, made
the season before dinner one of general salts
faction and pleasure. The invitation to the
dinihg-r0om found fhe company every way
qualified for the work on hand This quail
ihcaion was not impaired, either by the scale
or the style of the provision. If the yalor of
the guests lis "trencher-mcn" afforded any in
dex of their relish and satisfaction, Mr.. and
Mrs. Curtis will hardly be left in doubt as to
their success in the cuisine art. The dinner
having been disposed of without mishap-
except, perhaps, the rather funny one that be-
fell one Of the editorial gentlemen. who has
such a horror of salt, in libeFally swectcning
his cotfco from the -celar-the remainder
OF the afternoon was occupied in examining
the institution in It's various parts, and study

and well adapted to its design. From this.

rooms at the different sexes, respectively. and
beyond, halls running to the extremes with
the dorniteries extending alongion eitherside.
Almost the first thought that arises upen en-
tcring these siuingIrooms, where many of the
poor and infirm are gathered in the center
near the registers, of all ages and conditions
of both body and mind, is the need of greater
discrimination and classification. This is so
plain as hardly to escape the attention of any. |
1t not only detracts from the happiness of many
OF the adults, butthC importance of some such |
provision is peculiarly so in reference to the !!
rearing of the young, of whom We noticed |

l." The PROSPECT of Peach crop the present
season, we are informed, is not altogether fiat
tcring. Some of the orchards in this neigh
borhood are reported us badly frostbitten and
blightcd. One gentleman, in advance of an
examination. spoke with the utmost confidence
about the safety Of his buds, found to his sur
prise and encouragement, that the blight was
very general through his orchard. Scions ia
ken from trees upon our own premises shelter
ed from the forcing effects of the sun of the
mild weather of the winter, show 40 signs of
injury,
Our naincsakc, of Paincsyille, speaks dis
couragingly Of the prospects in that vicinity,
so it would seem as if the conclusion was war
ranteed that the crop will bc,a greatly dimin-
ishcd one, if not Il failure.
