PACKING INDUSTRY 1210 - H Feb. 28:3/3 - At the city council meeting on Feb. 21, the mar- shal was authorized to abate and clear nuisances at B. Stedman's slaugh- tering house.
(1)
1211 - H Apr. 8; ed:2/1 . The Western Reserve will this season furnish the English epicures with the finest beef ever exported from this country. Our enterprising fellow-citizen, Norman C. Baldwin, Esq., commenced slaughter- ing and packing at his establishment on the island, at the mouth of the river, on Oct. 15 and closed on April 1.
"The Beef trade with England is opening a fresh source of prosperity to our agricultural friends, and should induce them to look well to, and im- prove their stock, for the enterprise of Mr. Baldwin has scattered over fifty thousand dollars among the Reserve Farmers the past season, the large portion in Summit and Portage counties. We trust John Bull will not only relish his Beef, but pay him well for it." (8)
1212 - H Nov. 29:2/1 - The meat packing establishment of N. C. Baldwin is erected at the base of the hill near the old mouth of the Cuyahoga, and is so arranged as to allow for a constant stream of water to pass through each department, the water being pumped through lengths of hose.
The bleeding room is kept immaculately clean, and the meat cleansed thor- oughly with fresh spring water, in a manner to please the most particular.
Cutting and packing is done entirely by labor hired especially for the purpose in England. These workers, knowing English market requirements, make possible larger sales of local meat abroad.
On an average, the establishment has 45 head of cattle slaughtered daily, and perhaps 5.000 head during the entire winter season. The beef, princi- pally from cattle procured in central Ohio, is packed in 304-1b. tierces for foreign shipments. In addition to this, Baldwin's works slaughter 250 sheep daily, and some 16,000 during an average winter packing season.
A steam works, attached to the establishment, is ingeniously arranged for economically rendering the tallow.
(6)
1213 - H Nov. 29:2/1 - D. M. Haskell's large packing house is located about two miles from the city, on the Kinsman road. Haskell employs 30 workers, disposes of some 40 to 50 head of cattle per day, and packs from 70 to 90 tierces daily.
The slaughtering and cutting house is 110 feet long by 30 wide. Under- neath it is a stone cellar, 25 feet by 60, used for "blooding" the meat. Two springs of water are conducted into five large pine vats of a capacity of 100 beef tierces in all. After blooding, the meat goes into an adjoin- ing packing house, 40 feet by 40, where it is prepared for shipment.
Haskell commenced slaughtering on Oct. 14, and expects to produce some 8,000 tierces during the winter. (6)

PACKING INDUSTRY (Cont'd)
1214 - H Nov. 29; ed:2/1 - Few of our readers are aware to what extent the slaughtering and packing of meat for shipment abroad are carried on in the immediate vicinity of our city. Few who read the accounts of lucrative shipments of beef to England ever imagine to whom the proceeds of these shipments recur. The general impression is that the packer and shipper are the chief gainers, but in truth the farmer is the one most benefited.
"The advantages of this growing branch of business to Western farmers cannot be better illustrated than by visiting the immense packing estab- lishments of two of our enterprizing fellow-townsmen, Mr. N. C. Baldwin and Mr. D. M. Haskell." (4)

PENAL & CORRECTIVE INSTITUTIONS (Cont'd) and notice of Mr. Child's letter.
That there has been a great change in prison discipline and in the interest felt in the prisoners' welfare is freely admitted. However, is it not true that much yet remains to be done? "The veriest criminal on earth knows when injustice is done him; and is it not injustice when the four hundred and sixty- three convicts of the penitentiary are made to earn some thirty-two thousand dollars a year, out of which sum they have only the pittance needed for their 'coarse, cheap clothing' and their 'coarse food?' thus leaving more than eighteen thousand dollars revenue for the State over and above all expenses, they not having a cent of this money for themselves or families."
"There is a principle in every man's bosom that will answer to just and kind treatment, no matter whether that man walks unmolested in the world, or whether he occupies a felon's cell."

1222 . H July 24:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, Rutland says: Permit me to call the attention of this enlightened community to our county jail. It is located in a part of the city thickly settled, where fresh air is at a premium. The cells are dark and s uffy, and the innocent and guilty are cast together where obedience to nature's laws would be revolting to humanity. The fault is not with the jailer, but with the jail itself.
"In such a condition, what can compensate the wrongs the innocent suffer? . And in such a condition, how can the guilty be reformed ?...
"But the difficulties might be obviated in a great measure, in the construction of a new jail commensurate with the wants of the county. It should be built with sufficient rooms, properly constructed above, where unadulterated air could circulate." (7)

1228 - 11 Mar. 11; ed:2/1 - We have received the February number of the AMERICAN REVIEW, a Whig journal of politics. It is the intention of the editor to have such a combination of talent enlisted in its support as will give it a high rank among the literary periodicals of the day.
"It is the political tendency and ability of the work to which we wish to call the attention of the Whigs of the Western Reserve, for the lead- ing opinions of the Whigs, are, we believe, the only ones on which a free government can continue its existence; and every Whig is interested in having them ably and eloquently spread over the Republic through an acknowledged organ of the party .... The Whigs of the Western Reserve have a celebrity through the whole Union for their unvarying devotion to the great cause in which they are interested, and we trust they will give to this new ally that encouragement and support which its ability and promise of usefulness entitie it to."

"We trust a liberal number of copies will be taken, for much of the support necessary to establish and continue the proposed journal must necessarily, in the outset, come from the philanthropic of the free States.
"Mr. Clay and his associates will no doubt make a paper intrinsically valuable, and the great affect they have in view command itself to the hearty approval of every freeman."

The initiatory number of the WESTERN RESERVE MAGAZINE OF AGRICUL- TURE AND HORTICULTURE must favorably attract the attention of every friend of the arts it advocates. Its typographical appearance is very creditable to the enterprising publisher, the illustrations are good, and the articles by the editor and well-known contributors, are plain, practical, and impart valuable information. The editor is familiar with and devoted to bis profession. He combines a knowledge of book-farming with exper- ience, and enjoys every facility for treasuring in the WESTERN RESERVE MAGAZINE a priceless fund of important facts connected with agriculture and horticulture, which every person may obtain and profit by for the trifle of one dollar a year. To our friends in the whole lake region we most cordially commend the magazine, fully believing that a yearly dis- tribution of 500 copies in each of the Reserve counties, would yield an hundred fold return in improved farms, improved crops, improved stocks, improved orchards, and above all in an improved and enlightened taste in the young for the ancient, honorable, and useful pursuit of agriculture and horticulture.

If there is any Whig who cannot take this journal, let him buy the two last numbers at 20 cents each, of Mr. Younglove, and if he cannot do this, borrow them of some friend; for hard as it may be to borrow such things, we think the developments of those numbers should be scattered the country through."

The piece on the National institute at Philadelphia is especially informa- tive.
"But it must be remembered by all Whigs who appreciate the importance of such an able expositor and defender of their principles, that its existence demands a generous patronage.

"It seems for once that the 'Old Dominion' has inadvertantly, in the case of Speaker, been left in the rear of Kentucky. This is an over- sight, and we trust the 'Mother of Presidents' will see to it that jus- tice be done ler."
The article further says that New York is indebted to Taylor for hav- ing rescued that city from being a vacancy in the parliamentary dignity of the confederacy.
