DUxBuRY. The late storm blocked the high
ways severely, but the busy wood and lumber
teams, together with path-masters, soon made the
rough places smooth again. There Is family
in town consisting OF six persons, man and wife
aud four children. The mother Is sick and has
been for some weeks, to that degree she can't
even turn herself In bed or speak hardly loud
word She lays on what has the form OF bed,
with no sheets, but some over-covering looking
pretty well worn This bed is all the bed IN the
house for the six persons. There is in one cor
ner heap OF rags where the children sleep. 80
far as food IL concerned there Is sufficient for
now, but nothing the sick mother can eat but a
few crackers; no tea, coffee or butter As To
clothing, the children can be comfortable II kept
indoors in day time. The neighbors have con-
trbuted, ~ they will naturally, in clothing, etc.
Who Ia to blame? Is the town. Its overseer OF the
poor lives seven or eight miles away and on badly
drifting roads; besides, he knew their condition
from the start and has visited them twice, am
told, In three months So OF course the town is
excused. IL the poor man himself To blamep lie
is a good and willing worker, and says II he
could leave the sick wife, he could do much
towards their support. lie is, so far as know,
sober, well disposed man. There has been a
woman engaged to take care OF the sick day
times, but she lives n mile away and on drifted
road, on which no woman ought TO walk. She
says she will stay II the town will furnish q
bed and decent food Now then. who Is TO blame
for this sad case Of restitution? Friends are wait
ing Tor neghbors, neighbors waiting Tor the town,
aud 80 the suffering goes on.

The REFORM ScnooL.--The trustees Of the Re-
form School held meeting at Vergennes, on
Tuesday of last week, for the object, among other
things OF making an examination into the ques-
ton whether any OF those there under sentence
should be discharged. 1t Is probably the case
that even with the check put sentences by
making towns in certain cases pay half dollar a
week towards the support OF minors sent to Yer
gennes, there are many cases where the confne-
ment results rather from this being a cheaper
method Of taking care OF troublesome paupers
than from real necessity Of conviction.
