We have received copy OF the annual re-
port Of the Board Of Directors Of the Viz
gina penitsnliary, with accompanying docu-
nents, for the year ending September 80,
1883. We notice that the board did not
spend all the money the Legislature appro-
priateG for the new shops. We seldom hear
OF such thing. We notice, too. that there
are children eleven, twelve, thirteen, four
teen, aud fifteen yearS old in the pebIten-
tiary, where no such persons ought to be.
OF 312 convcts received during the las, fiscal
year l50 could read and write, 20 could read
but not write, aud 1877 could do neither; 1913
were moderate drinkers, $50 abstinst, and
90 incorporate; 105 married and 267 single;
955 laborers, and only 10 farmers. Ia ex-
aiming this report we are reminded Of
HuxLEY's saying that statistics are unrelia-
bic and misleading II We undertake to draw
from them deductions as TO the social struc.
ture. For examples, two fiitbs Of all the
convicts received last year were teetotslers,
and only three ele"eHt tbs were married.
