Hereditary Crime.

Some Of the most remarkable sta
tistics regarding hereditary disposi-
ton To crime that have ever hean COL
lpcted were lately produced by DIR.
Harris at recent meeting of the
State Charities Aid Association. 1t
appears that the attention of DIR.
Harris was attracted to a county on
the upper Hudson, IN New York, in
which the proportion of crime and
poverty to the entire population was
extraordinary great, there being
about one criminal or pauper to every
ten inhabitants. The recurrence OF
certain names among the list of un-
fortunates also excited his interest,
