A boy whom he sent home to his parents in Newark, N. J., writes: “I am going to work this P. M., and with God’s help, will try to make a man of myself.” Another boy says, “I owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be paid;” and another writes, “I am going to night-school, to church and Sunday-school, and am trying to be a good boy.” From a boy he sent home: “I arrived in Baltimore safe, and my mother met me at the depot. I thank you very much for your kindness to me.” These are cases of boys who have ran away from home, steal rides on freight cars and are arrested when they are arrived and sent to the County Prison, often put in with those who are adepts in crime, their parents are written to, who request that they be sent home. If the money is not sent for the return fare, the Prison Society pays it. Much good is done in this way. CHESTER COUNTY PRISON. William Scattergood, President of the Board of Inspectors, and a member of the Acting Committee of our Society visits that prison weekly. He is much interested in the welfare of the prisoners. It is well managed, kept clean, and is in an admirable condition. A new wing has been erected for the women, of whom they have very few. DELAWARE COUNTY PRISON. This prison is faithfully visited by Deborah C. Leeds, who reports it to be in good condition and well managed. She holds services there very frequently, which are much appreciated, and her remarks are listened to with marked attention. OTHER COUNTY PRISONS. Deborah C. Leeds has been appointed “Visitor to the County Prisons of the State at Large.” In virtue of this appointment, she has visited many of the County Prisons, speaking to the inmates as way opens for it, encouraging them to give up their evil ways and lead new and better lives, looking unto the Lord for help in this respect, without which their efforts will be in vain. ACTING COMMITTEE VISITS. To Eastern Penitentiary 731 visits to 15,616 Prisoners. To County Prison, Annex, and House of Correction 848 “ “ 6,191 “ Genl.

The Associated Committee of Women on Police Matrons hold meetings monthly, at which reports are received from the different station-houses where there are matrons in number. A number of interesting cases are reported monthly, of women missing trains, and shelter given them until next morning, feeble-minded women wandering from home--children lost, etc.--These are kindly cared for by the matrons. It is sad to find such a large number who were arrested for being intoxicated.
