We have received q communication from
Mrs. ]. NJ. Kellogg in reply to an item which
appeared in these columns last week con-

morherly care he will SO conduct himself in
the future as to never cause her to feel
ashamed of him. 95'd 84l 3a .1eoa 7l

of her is villain and scoundrel--aud the
fight between the city and county as to who
shall support them is not only disgrsceful
but cruel in the extreme Take that child
out of that horrible prison and put that
woman in her proper place and not in the
common Jail. The court house and Jail are
bad enough-but don't add to the indignity
by combining a helpless woman and little
child in that dungeon which the county board
refuse TO make humanely decent. The State
Board of Charities have criticised this mat
ter most severely, aud should they come
here now and see that little child, their criti-
cism could not be too severe. We are in
