The following it the substance of a report on Prison Discipline which was presented at the meeting. The facts contained are valuable and worthy of attentive consideration From the best data obtainable, the whole prison population of the cuuniry may be es timated as ranging from 35,600 in July to 40, 000 in February. Of this number, 16,000 are probably con ined in 40 State prisons, while 12,000 are held under sentence in houses oi correction, workhouses, district penitentia ries, and jails, and U,000 are awaiting trial or are held as witnesses. All grades of crimi nals are presented, and the problem that oc curs is to adapt the best system to the almos infinite variety of circumstances which pre sent themselves in a country as heterogen eous as ours. To do this rvquires, principally, better graded prisons and a more thorough classification of prisoners. The methods em ployed at present in the State Prisons are three The old congregate system the new congregate system, or Auburn or silent sys tem, and the separate or Pennsylvania sys tem. Tile Auburn system generally prevails, except in Pennsylvania. The old congregate system still prevails in a few State Prisons and iu many of the ill-managed county pria •ns, and the consequences are that they are turned into hot-beds ot vice, where the inno cent and the convicted are indiscriminately mingled—even the sexes in some instances— without employment, without books, or any means of diverting the uiind from the horri ble secret vices and crimes which bad treat ment superinduces. The city prisons, station-houses, and lock ups, which annually coutain more prisoners than all other prisons, are in a similar condi tion. They are the holes where petty official frauds and abuse hide and coquette with mun strousvice; they are the workshops of de tectives, where felony is compounded an I impunity is manufactured to order; and it i» time that the work of exposing and purify ing them should be begun. A lew ot the county jails and most «f the houses of correction, work houses, and houses of industry are con ducted on the new congregate or Auburn sys tem, with modifications to suit the character of the prison officials. In this class of pris ons, however, the greatest improvements iu penal and reformatory discipline have recently been made, and were the laws amended so vs to ullow lunger sentences to petty criminals, these establishments would show more grati fying results in every respect than those ob tained in the State prisons. At the present time the best prisons in this grade are self supporting, and serve to prevent crime. These prisons which receive criminals ot the worst kind, and which are regarded as the most important, number about 40. This class includes establishments of the most di verse description, containing in some in stances 1,000 convicts, and in others less than 50. At most of these establishments th prisoners are employed within the walls, bui in some ot the Southern States the convicts have been employed on railroads at sonic dis tance from the prison. This mode of eni ployment would prove advantageous were it adopted as in Ireland, in connection with a well graded system of promoting the prison ers until they should be prepared for their final discharge. At present the number ot State prison convicts is decreasing in the Northeastern States, but increasing rapidly in the South and the West. The average number of prisoners in the State prisons is estimated at 16,000, and, with the exception of about 700 in Philadelphia, all are govern ed under the Auburn system. Although in nearly all the States provision is made for shortening the sentence of the prisoner for good behavior, no opportunity is given for classification, and education is greatly neg lected. Several of the State prisons ffe self sustaining, and even return a small revenue. The revenue derived from the labor of con victs is not of much importance compared with the judicious treatment, but it is proper to noto that prisons of moderate size can readily be made self-sustaining, while larger ones cannot. At the same time all the influ ences of a prison of less than 500 convicts are more favorable to the reformation of its inmates thatTbe influences of establishments like Sing Sing. It would therefore be better for a State to build a new prison when its con victs exceed 500 in number than to enlarge old prisons, unless a method of conditional pardons, by which the increase in numbers might be regulated, should be adopted. It is the duty of prison managers in the United States to adopt the main features of the Irish system without delay. Every State needs an Inspector or commission of Inspec tors, having access to and supervision over prisons of all grades. Such Inspectors would report to the Legislature the actual defects and necessities of the prison sy stem of each State. They could obtain a comprehensive view of the whole field of action, and recom mend such changes as would correct the standing abuses of the present system. I From tits Washington C’Wonitle, Jan. 27.1 SPEAKER BLAISE'S LETTER TO THE BURNS CLUB. The following is the letter of Speaker Blaine vhich was read at the Burns Club celebration >n Thursday evening: House of Representatives, Washington, Jan. 25, 1S72. Thomas ll'tfson, Esq., Presidtnt Burns Club: Dear Sir:—I sincerely regret that it is not n uiy power to be with you this evening; but l am quite sure that you will not share in this feeling when you have heard from my honor able friend, General Garfield, who has kindly consented to more than fill my place. The General is a Cambrian, and not u Scotian, but hi* genuine love of Burns has cured all de lects of his Welch jargon, and he will speak to you in a dialect which would have delight ed Burns himself, anil which will wake anew the admiration and ardor of all who cherish the fame ot the great bard. Scotchmen and the descendents of Scotch men honor themselves in honoring the mem ory of Burns. The impie,s of his great mind upon all true Caledonians is indelible, ills songs have had an inti uence upon all classes of his countrymen far beyond that of any other poet. There is not a hut in in the highland? that has not been made brighter by the glow of his words, not a shepherd’s cot from tht Tweed to the Orkneys that has not been warmed to new life by the tire of his wonder ful inspiration. Five generations removed from the vales ot Ayrshire, I am as cordially in sympathy with your celebration of to-night ns those of you who were born in sight ot “Auld Reekie,” ano who were nurtured to manly strength on tin traditional porridge of oat-meal. Hr. John son's taunt that “the road to England was tit finest view a Scotchman ever enjoyed,” wfa more witty than true. Many Scotchmen tound a more attractive prospect in the roat! to America; and I think it may be said with out egotism or vanity that they have madi good citizens of the great republic. They and their descendants have been distinguished tor the intelligent zeal, the fidelity, and tin loyal devotion with which they have upheld those grand principles of civil liberty fo: which their ancestry always struggled will heroism and finally with success.

ILoral anli Sfctate N.tos An old bachelor at Dayton, York county, has the following stock Twenty five cats, two cows, yoke of oxen, and no i hildren. The March Term of the Supreme Judicial Court will commence at the court house in this city, on Tuesday, the 5th of March. Judge Kent will preside. The proceeds of the Fair and Levee to-night and to-morrow night in Granite Hall, are to be devoted to improving the Granite church grounds, and to the purchase of an appropri ate iron fence then for. This is an object toward which our people generally can have no reluctance in contributing as it implies a per manent improvement that will reflect credit upon the whole city. A small fund for the purpose already exists, and it is hoped that it will be increased largely to-night and to-mor row nignt. Mrs. John Dunn died at the city farm house of Hallowell, Jan. 25, aged one hun dred and eleven years. She was born in Eng land, came to this country in early life, mar ried a man of prominence and pr perty, who died Oct. 2, 1857. The residence where she dwelt for many years on Water street and where she said she hoped to die, passed into other hands, so that the last few years she has been an inmate at the city farm house. Since her death, the oldest person in town is a man by the name of Smith, back some ways from the city. Hallowell Items. Dear Joi rnal :—Things are movingalong in a healthy manner in our city nothing ex citing, but everybody appears to be busy. Our streets have presented an uncommon lively appearance this winter, probably more so than for some years past. Business seems to be on a steady increase, improvements are constantly going on, and our traders wear smiling countenances, which are indicative of ease in financial matters. In fact I know from personal experience that business hat not been so good for many years in our city, and our leading citizens are awake to the bus iness prosperity of the place and with a con tinuance of the present i fficient management of the affairs of the city, I see no reason why Hallowell will not take her place among the leading manufacturing cities in the State. In this connection I ought to speak of the buildings that have been erected the past year, as the city farm at a cost of some 88000, to take the place of the old rookeries that have just sheltered the unfortunate in our midst, and much credit is due the committee who have the matter in charge. We can all feel that those of our citizens who are in want will be comfortably provided for during the remainder of life. Our city has suffered severely in the past from conflagration but at the present time we have an efficient fire department, who are on hand at a moment's warning, and for the past few years we have escaped any consid erable loss by fire. We have a nice engine house which contains two good fire engines in good nrder. In the second story are two halls for the use of the companies. There are other matters of interest to our citizens that I have not time nor space to speak of at this time, but will hereafter. Quite early this morning, before many teams were on the street, a horse attached to Mr. H. D. Pinkham’s traverse pung became frightened at the dummy train that was just crossing at the north end of Water street, and ran down the street. When about opposite Central street, a man threw a large basket which struck the horse, when he shied, throw ing the pung from the forward runners and scattering meat and baskets in confusion, and smashing the pung considerably. The horse kept on with the forward runners till he brought up at Mr. Pinkham’s shop, and stopped as any orderly horse would be likely to do. S. Hallowell, Jan. 31. Ike Agricultural follrgr. Hon. Abner Coburn, President of the board of Trustees of the State College of Agricul ture and the Mechanic Arts, ha« submitted his annual report to the legislature. It has been shown that the bold policy of establish ing an independent college best meets the re quirements of those who are to be educated for the active pursuits of life. The training provided in this college is just what is needed for practical men who are to engage in the industrial callings. The farm, though re quiring some outlay to bring it to a high state of culture, is valuable, and affords good op portunities for experiments in the different methods of cultivation. The college now en ters upon the fourth year of its existence with the too sanguine expectations of its ardent friends sobered down to a just requirement, the mistrust of those who had no confidence in its plans giving way, and the indifference of the great mass of the community removed. The buildings commenced last year have been completed, and there are now accommo dations for 125 students. In the revision of the course of study, provision has been made for four full courses, viz.; a course in Agri culture, in Civil Engineering, in Mechanical Engineering, and an Elective Course. A special course is also provided for students ■not wishing to take the whole amount of studies required for graduation, by allowing them to select from the studies of any term aucli branches as they desire, provided they •re qualified to pursuo these studies success fully. Rev. C. F. Allen, A. M., a graduate of Bowdoin College, and a ripe scholar, if President of the institution, and has charge of the department of F.ngllsh Literature and Mental science; Prof. M. C.

H. Fernald, A. M., Professor of Natural History. Samuel Johnson, having resigned his position as Farm Superintendent, J. R. Farrington of Brewer was elected to his place, and entered upon his duties in April. In the completion of the building* the purchase of furniture and ap[ aratus for the different departments, and in meeting the current expenses of the college, a debt of thirteen thousand dollars has been incurred The Trustees regretted the creation of this debt; but the alternative was forced upon them to suffer tbe college to struggle along in a crippled condition, with little capacity of usefulness, and no prospect of fulfilling the design for which It was established, or to ex ceed the appropriation of laat year, by fur nishing the suitable facilities for the college to enter upon its fourth year, with a strong faculty, and all the conditions necessary to insure success. The Trustees deem it neces sary that residences for the President and one of the Professors should be erected on the college grounds. For these buildings there will be re uiiiieil the rum of *8 000.00 For farm improvements 3.000.00 Apparatus and library 1 000 uo f t $12,000.00* Add to thi.-4 the debt incurred in behalf of the college, as shown bv Trcasur* er'rt re ort, 111087 72 Bbls unpanl 1,212 28 Making a total of $25 uoo 00 The farm Superintendent gives a detailed report of various experiments on the farm, stock kept, and improvements made. In the Senior class there are G students. Junior G, Sophomore G, Freshman, 24—a to tal of 42. Candidate! for admission must be not less than 15 years of age, and must pass a satisfactory examination in arithmetic, Ge ography, English Grammar, History of the United States, and Algebra as far as Quadrat ic Equations Satisfactory testimonials of good moral character and industrious habits are rigidly exacted. Great prominence is given to the study of the natural sciences. Nearly a whole year is devoted to Botany and Horticulture, embracing a thorough drill in Botanical Analysis; the study of plants as to their relative importance and distribution, etc* The student is taught practically the opera tions and processes in the department of Hor ticulture. A year and a half is devoted to Chemical Physics and Chemistry, including Agricultural Chemistry. Other departments of science are taught, as far as may be. Stu dents are required to labor a certain portion of each day, not exceeding three hours, for five days in the week, the design of this man ual labor being educational. Students also have the use of tools, and acquire a fitness for mechanical pursuits. Matllated Currency. To relieve the public of the dirty and mutilated rags which form so large a part of our currency, the government has decided to pay the express bills, as will be seen by the following circular, which will be found of interest to all and especially business men lly special contract with the Treasury Depart meu uud the Adams Express Uo the Eastern Ex press Co. will receive at their offlceo, from any Bank, Firm, or Individual, packages of defaced or mutilated currency to the amount of live dollars or upwarc, and ol legal tender notes of the amount of fifty dollars and upward, which will be sent to V\ aahmgton lor redemption, and new notes or cur rtucy returned to the ow ner, without cost to him— the Department payiug all exprea- charges. Auy iraguient of a iractional or 1 gal tender note, wf less than half the original, is of no value, unless evideuce is sent with it proving dial the remainder ot the note is defrayed. Fiagments containing in one piece, more than halt and less than three liuh* of the original note, will be redeemed at one hail the lace value of the whole. Any fragment containing in one niece three tilths or more ol the original, w ill be redeemed at the full value of the original. Fragments, of each 1* ss than one-half, but together constiiuti g more thau one hall of a note, wi.l be redeemed when it is evident that they are actually paits of one original note. In making up packages of fractional currency to send for redemption, it Is required that it should be assorted i«y the different denominations »ud is sues, and that each kind shall be enclosed m pack ages of 1U0 pieces or less, (laced alike) in a paper strap at least an inch wide upon vvInch sh.Jl be written with ink the number ol pieces enclosed, their denomination, and the name ol the owner, l'heii the entire remittance mud be put up in one tackage, securelv, and directed "Trea-urer of the piled States, Washington,” and marked "31 uti lised currency, for redemption under contract w iih Adams Express Co,” and also the dat- amount en closed, and uatue and lull address (including the State.) of the sender must be marked on the ouUide. It will be best to use our regular printed money envelopes for this purpose. And there must be en closed, with the currency, account of inventory (made out on not less than half a sheet ol note pa tier of the amount sent, describing the contents >y parcels, denominations, and amounts, addressed to the Treasurer, and giving full address of the sender, (as on the ouUide.) and written request that the amount in new currency may be returned by express. A duplicate of this should be cent by uiail, the same dav, to Treasuier o! United Slates, Washington, D. C., and will go postage f*-ee All such packages will be receipted by our agents, and sent at once to Washington, and re turns made by the Department without delay,- ex press paid by the taovernmeni both ways. The liovermncnt have mad* this arrangement in the hope to clear up the great quantity of dirty and mutilated currency which la in circulation, and substitute new in its place, and it is hoped that all busiuess men will assist, by retaining all such cur rency that they receive, and sending it for ex change instead of passing it out again. This urratigenient docs not include National Bank notes. In sending packages of soiled or mu tilated legal tender notes, of fifty dollars or up wards the same rule in regard to euclo»ing a let ter and sending a duplicate by mail, applies Boston, Jan. 15, 1872. Testimonial from James 8. Sanborn of Boston, manufacturer of Coffees, Spices, Horse Uadish, Ac., and well known to most of the merchants of Maine and Massachusetts Mr. Kinsman I hare used l)r. Kinsman's Vegetable Elixir for five years or more, and consider it the most valuable remedy tor the complaints which it is recommended to cure, more especially Neuralgia, from which I was suffering severely for one week, which inter fered to a considerable extent with my eye sight; and upon one application of Dr. Kins man's Vegetable Elixir, I was immediately cured. I would recommend it as a very val uable medicine. (Signed) J. S. Sanborn. TTAS_' Not among the least of the invaluable prop erties of Miss Sawyer's Salve are its beneficial effects on the hair. Kuhbed on the scalp in five or six different parts, it promotes the growth of the hair, prevents its turning gray, and, on bald spots, it produces a new growth of hair. No lady should be without this in valuable article as an indispensable cosmetic for the toilet. It eradicates dandruff and dis ease from the head, and blotches and pimples from the face. tf The age of railroads and the telegraph give rise to fast living, and increases the desire for making rapid fortunes, some wishing to outstrip, and others to be at least equal to their neighbors. In order to keep up with this eager and unequal contest, the brain is taxed to its utmost power, while humanity is ren dered an easy prey to disease. The Heart, I.ivvr, Stomach, Lungs, or Nervous System becomes afflicted, and sickness in the form of Heart Disease, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Bron cliities, Consumption, Paralysis or Mania, is the result. The use of Fellows' Compound Syrup of llypophosphitea will enable the mind to sustain a greater strain unfettered by conflicting thoughts and unwearied by con tinued study. It imparts power of concentra tion. What before seemed difficult of solu tion, becomes comparatively easy, and the body is physically strong under its use. jan30 fiwlw The Culture of the IIair.—Just as sure ly as a soil infested with Canadian thistles can be made to produce fine crops of golden grain, the scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry, unmanageable hair can be made prolific of silken tresses. All that is neces sary to effect the change in either case is the right kind of fertilizer. Leaving the agricul tural chemists to determine how the barren land shall be made truitfhl, we positively as sert that Lyon's Kathairon is unequaled as a fertilizer and beautifier of the hair. Twenty five years of success is the basis of this un qualified statement. During that time it has been used by many millions of both sexes, and the first instance in which it has failed ,o fulfill the expectations of a rational purchaser has yet to be discovered. It will not cause hair to grow on a varnished gourd; but wherever the roots of the hirsute fibers re main undisturbed, it will cause them to put forth new shoots, and in all cases where the hair has become thin it will increase its vol ume. jan27-teodAw JBanteb.

The Commercial Agency Swindle. The premises lately occupied by Henry Brock and Jefferson Brock, as a Commercial Agency, No. 67 Devonshire street, were vis ited yesterday afternoon by large numbers of people, many ot them prompted by motives of mere curiosity, to learn additional particu lars touching the heavy swindle which had been perpetrated upon business men and the clerka in the employ of the defaulting and absconding firm. As was stated in The Journal yesterday, the Brock Brothers pur chased the right, title and interest in Kim ball's Agency, situated at No. 67 Devonshire street, agreeing to pay therefor the sum of *32.000, but only *900 in cash had actually been paid in, notes having been given for the remainder. On assuming the charge of the Agency, Mr. Henry Brock, who appears to be most prominently connected in the affair, commenced operations on an extensive scale, and by flattering inducements to tenants of other rooms in the building, he succeeded in getting them to vacate their offcea, and was soon in possession of all the rooms on the second floor, together with many of those in the upper stories.' Representing at onetime thrt he had a capital of *1,500,000 and an account at the First National Bank, be teem ed to conduct bis business in a most extrava gant manner, having hi* rooms supplied with costly furniture, and employing nearly one hundred and thirty clerks. In fact, lie employed any respectable appearing person who desired work, and was making prepara tions to increase his clerical force when the farce which he had been carrying on was ex posed. For a number of week* following Ins open ing of bueine**, the clerk* were k*pt busy night and day in copying Mr. Kimball's records, and in making reports gleaned from his new corps of agents, which he had sent to different point* in the New England States. To all appearances his business was one of the most extensive of its kind that has been established, aad he was daily enlarging its field, when rumors were whispered about that things were not right, and suspicions were soon aroused which proved only too true. Just about this time, or on the 15th of Janu ary, Mr. Henry Brock tent all his canvasser* to Worcester, Springfield, Taunton, Port land, Lowell, Nashua and other citie* in the Eastern States, with special instructions to obtain subscribers, and to remit all funds im mediately. So anxious wa* he to have this carried out, that tiie canvasser* were directed to offer parties one year’* subscription, if they were registered in other agencies, in case they would alto become connected with hi* concern. If they could not afford a year'* subscription, the canvasser* were told to take them lor six months, or even three months, but to be sure and collect the money and forward it to headquarters. On Friday last the first positive proof touch ing the unsoundne** of the concern wa* made, when both tbu partners left the city, ostensi bly for the purpose ot going to New York, i leaving their business in charge of Mr. Man I ly W. Gilman, their chief clerk. Hardly had they left the city, when an attachment wa* placed upon the property by Mr. L. 8. Learned, to whom the firm had become in debted lor stationery to the amount of gSOOd. Then the canvasser* relured from their tow is j and found that they could not obtain their salaries, »nd thing* remained in an uncer j tain state until yestereay morning, when the 1 fraud wae exposed by the receipt ef a letter iww wm failure, andn£|?Sy*hS5^ eluded to go »oCanada. Tha amoim* aria, due the clerks of the »j about #4000, which together with other debt! known to exist, will reach the mm of Mo! 000. Tho chief operator in the swindle, Mr Henry Brock, it U believed must have carried with him a number of thousands of dollars which his dorks obtained from merchants and others during their late forced tour. The clerks, alter this rather summary and un expected winding up of affairs, feel very bad that they have been made the instruments of swindling unsuspecting merchants, and de sirs to be understood that they acted in en tire good faith, having no knowledge of how matters stood. Many of the employees of the concern are left in want, having no means to return to New York, Albany and Phila delphia, from which cities they were per suaded to come by Henry Brock. To relieve ibis class, the clerks appointed a committee yesterday to wait upon the offle ala of the State, Mayor Gaston, the Superintendents of railroads end business men, to solicit means to enable these unlortnnate persons to return to their homes. On the part of the State and City officials, word was received that it was not within their power to aid them, and (his morning another meeting will be held to Re vise other measures. Much excitement is naturally produced by the swindle, and it is asserted that Henry Brock was a conspicu ous member of the celebrated Mosby’s cav alry during the late rebellion. In relation to this swindle, it is not amiss te allude to the lesson it contaioa to persons who are free with their letters introductory. Henry Brock brought a very large number of letters front the heaviest mercantile firms and banka in Albany, recommending him in such terms as led one of largest firms to say that in all his experience he had never known such letters given to any man.—Boston Journal of Wednesday.
