quest No walk of life is sacred from its blighting

of mankind, The white haired patriarch whose
life Of temperance has rendered his system imper-
vious TO the attacks Of other Ills and whose good
deeds prepared him for the enjoyment of life's
calm evening, finds consumption fastening its fangs
upon his vitals, and tearing him from world ever
bright to minds which look complacently on days

Consumption, in its confirmed and incipient
stages, coughs. asthma, Group, and liver complaint

Quest. What wonld be the cost II
the western wall was removed to tho
western limits Of the prison grounds
and it's north and south wall extend
ed SO as TO connect herewith?
I Ans. A can see no necessity for
such an enlargement Of the prison room
within the walls for the merit t,centy
gears, have made no estimate ofthc
costs thereof. The former Warden,
Mr.. Hiescy, however, IN his re-
port of Jan. LIST, 1872, estimates the
costs of such enlargement at &23.OC0.
Quest. What would be the proba.
bic cost of so charging and improv-
ing the present state prison as to pro-
vide for the wants Of the State In this
direction for the next t,ce,,ty gears?
Ans. Responding TO this interroga-
tory, I beg to refer TO my answer to
previous questions. At present, and
| for some years to come, nothing add
tioaal scilt be needed. Should hereaf-
ter more cells become necessary,
recommend tho building Of two addi-
tional tiers in the present building, and
| should more shop room be required, i
recommend tho extension of the shop
building on the east side Of the prison
yard, which can be done at cost OF
about $4,000; these will certainly be
much more than sufficient to provide
cell and shop room for more than
twenty years hence. Most Respectful
", Your obedicnt servant,
(Signcd) S. II. C.AIG.
Now, is not the above statement OF
