however. and Mrs. Smith with her
first assistant, padded their clothing
80 as TO resist the knife, when they
rushed in on the desperate woman,
seized and disarmed her, kindly adj
vising her to submit to the rules, or
be kept confined TO her room on bread
and water. This treatment vas con.
tinued for three days, when she prom

allowed more liberty and better fare.
The conyicts are allowed 10 exercise on
the lawn in front Of the building once
every day for one hour and half.
On one Of these occasions this con-
vict managed to conceal stone on
her person, with which she made an
attack on Mrs Smith at the first OPP
portunity. She was, luckily, detect
ed before iDjuIing the lady, and after
u few days more confinement, was
conquered and has conformed to the
rules, and has been quiet and orderly
ever since. At the time Of my visit
she was quietly and apparently con-
tentedly, sitting in her bed room sew

ornamented with Towering and vim

trained up the window in and out
over the iron bars, affordiag nature
an opportunity to assist art in con-

OF prison. Her industry and taste
are frequently rewarded by visitors
who send slips and plants to her from
the city. She has made for herself n
very tasty hussup OF scraps Of yarn

pride in spirit OF rivalry to excel

proven that IN a criminal institution
for women, much OF the expense OF
convicts may be borne
by the products OF their own labor,
resulting In a saving 10 the tax payers
OF the state. This example farther
