Mr.. VIM. A. Mosin, Principal OF the
public schools of this city Tor the last
two years, died Monday night at his
home near Flagg Springs, in this coun.
ty. He was a gentleman Of fine educa-
ton, and more than ordinary natural
ability. He served two terms in the
Il 'ntucky Legislature from this county,
and has occupied otherpublic positions,
all OF which he filled with ability
and zeal. His death resulted from ty-
phoid lever, and his wife and daughter
are now i'll witt the same disease.

The Northern PenItentIary.

A correspondent OF the Crown
Point Star gives the following facts
concerning the Michigan City peni-
Tertiary; Its numerous shops Of
nearly every class Of business, are
large and well filed with the best OF
machinery, but at present are far too
small to give employment to all the
convicts, so new shops are being
erected. The present number Of
convicts is 666. A very large ma
jority Of these are below middle life
and many OF them very young, some
not above sixteen years Of age. or
his number seventy one arc colored,
some are foreigners, but the larger

share are natives Of this country.
Two hundred and forty are from
Indianapolis. Many OF these are in
mates of the prison as the price Of
police and sheriff's fees, and petty
deeds OF larceny to which many of
them were almost forced by circum-
stances. There are forty life time
men, and others from twenty years
down to one year. Men prisoners
are almost daily going in and others
whose time has expired going out.
Since the hard times began the num-
Der of prisoners has been increased
more than one-third, some OF them
have been returned three or
four times. Some say they have
sought it as a home and support,
preferable to their conditions in
society; with home, friends, posses
sions, reputation and happiness gone,
with nothing more to lose and moth
ing to gain, they have sought it as
life's last extremity. This vast army
of men are not convicts and slaves
because OF ignorance and viciousness,
as many suppose; some are, but many
of them are intelligent, cultivated
and gentlemanly. There arc men
from nearly all the professions Of
life; merchants. lawyers. physicians
and preachers, many Of whom are
graduates of colleges, from Yale
down the entire line. Intemperance.

The announcement OF the death Of
Hon. John Petit was made on Mon
day. he having died from paralysis
at his home in Lafayette on Sunday.
He was born at Sackett's Harbor,
n. Y July oath, 1907. and came
West AZ years ago. He held numer.
Gus positions Of public trust, being
last on the Supreme Bench of the
State. We believe he was a faithful
official at all times. and that Is about
all that can be said in his favor. Per-
sonally he was coarse, vulgar, and
profane so as to be disgusting to all
decent men. Having no regard what
ever for. the feelings or sentiments of
others. he died without q warm per-
sonal friend, yet there were. many
who admired his ability. he was on
ne democratic ticket for the Supreme
SQUIRT in 1876. but the party found it
convenient to displace him, alleging
as a reason the severe criticism on
the Supreme Judges for Office ex-
penditures. Probably the true reason
was that Mr.. Petit had suffered him
self 10 disturb a public religious
meeting in the public square at La
fayefte. engaging in a brawl with an
itenersts street preacher. 1t was a
disgraceful affair, and would have
defeated him at the polls had he re-
manned on the ticket. Judge Petit
