SHERIFF'S HOUSE AND JAIL.
Intimately connected with the court-house are the sheriff's house and the common jail. Prior to 1854 the sheriff's rented their own houses, but then, in ac- cordance with the provisions of an act of Assembly, a public or official house was erected for the use of the sheriff.
The sheriff's house of Westmoreland stands on West Pittsburgh Street, with only an alley interven- ing between it and the wall of the court-bouse. It is a plain two-story brick building. Behind and con- nected with it is the county jail. A large iron grating, with a grated door inside, separates the entry of the sheriff's house from that of the jail. The jail is small, badly lighted, and ill ventilated. There are four dun- geon cells in the basement, ten cells on the first floor, and ten on the gallery. It is indeed a miserable place, and is said to be far inferior to the old jail in all that respecta security, size, salubrity, ventilation, light, and convenience. The whole place is so marked by vile- ness and meanness that a Christian man could wish his worst enemy no worse quarters. It is, moreover, so insecure that it has led to the remark that those who had the planning of it must have been thieves in their hearts, and intended at some future day to escape from it, and thus avoid the consequences of a felonious taking of somebody's goods and chattels. It has been regularly condemned by every grand jury who have inspected it, and it is an eye-sore and a dis- grace to the people of the county.
POOR-HOUSE.
"The poor ye have with you always." The old system of maintaining the paupers of the county was so liable to. objections on the ground of inhumanity, inconvenience, trouble, and litigation that some citi- zens, moved by considerations of charity and public spirit, obtained the passage of an act by the Legisla- ture to provide for the erection of a house for the ac- commodation and employment of the poor, if the project was approved by the sense of the people of the county, expressed in regular form at the ordinary annual election. The act was passed and approved on the 5th of April, 1849, by the Governor of the Commonwealth. It consists of nineteen sections, and its provisions are full, clear, and stringent, embracing the purchase of farm, erection of buildings, election
of directors, appointment of physician; matron, and steward, management and treatment of poor, and penalties for neglect of or non-compliance with off- cial duties.
By the first section Benjamin Byerly, John Kuhns, Sr., John Trout, Samuel Hill, Thomas Trees, John C. Plumer, Henry McBride, Robert Hitchman, Joseph Budd, John McFarland, John Hill, Joseph Cook, Joseph Jack, John A. Hays, and Jacob Dible were appointed commissioners, and charged with the duty of purchasing, on or before the 1st of January, 1850, such real estate as they may deem necessary for the accommodation of the poor of Westmoreland.
By the last section it is provided that the vote of the people be taken at the election in October, 1849, on the subject matter of the act, by tickets labeled on the outside " For a Poor-House" and "Against a Poor-House," and if, on casting up the ballots by the return judges, a majority be found in favor of a poor- house the act was to take effect, but if a majority was against it the act was to be considered null and void.
As the people, actuated by good sense and benevo- lence, decided in favor of the erection of a poor- house, the commissioners recited in the act proceeded to discharge the duties enjoined upon them. On the 30th of November, 1849, they entered into and mu- tually signed articles of agreement with William Snyder, of Hempfield township, for the purchase of a tract of land situate in the same township and con- taining one hundred and eighty acres, for the sum of six thousand dollars. Snyder agreed to give posses- sion on the 1st of April, 1850, and to make the com- missioners who acted on behalf of the county a good and sufficient deed of warranty. According to the provisions of the act of Assembly, three directors were elected in the fall of 1850, who, in discharge of their official duties, proceeded to procure the erection of a building suitable for the reception of the poor of the county on the tract of land bought by the com- missioners. The whole amount expended in the erection of the first poor-house was $9092.24; $1375 were paid to Ramsey for brick, $7850 to Bryan on contract, and $367.24 for extra work.
These buildings were totally destroyed by fire on the 20th of August, 1862. The fire originated a little before noon from a spark from a chimney, which ig- nited the cupola. Notwithstanding all efforts to save it the interior part of the building was consumed. The contents of the house, however, were saved, excepting a cooking-stove, which had fire in it, and two or three old bedsteads.
On the next day a number of the paupers were brought to Greensburg, and domiciled in the county jail until arrangements had been made for their wel- fare elsewhere.
Immediately after the destruction of the buildings a contract was made with Lyon & Bierer for the erection of a new, or rather the rebuilding of the

former house; for the brick walls had been but slightly injured by the fire. The new house cost in all, including both main contract and extra work, $5716.50. It thus appears that in the purchase of the poor-house farm, the original erection and subse- quent rebuilding of the house, more than $20,000 have been expended.
That building in its turn was destroyed by fire in December, 1878. We shall, however, say something of it, as in its day it was regarded as a great institu- tion.
The house extended one hundred feet in length from north to south, by fifty feet in breadth from east to west. It was built of brick, and was three stories in height. It was regarded as possessing many advan- tages of light and ventilation, which, however, closer scrutiny and comparison would not justify us in re- peating. In addition to the windows in the gable ends, there were three rows of large windows on each side of the two main sides. Besides the wide doors by which one entered into the halls, there were ten windows in the rows of the first, twelve in the second, and thirteen in the third stories. In addition to the garret and attic, the house contained three principal divisions. The entrance to the first or basement part was by doors level with the ground at the gable ends, or by stairs which descended from the upper portions of the house. In this part was a large room, furnished with huge chests or bunke for flour and other provisions, and kitchen for the family of the steward, a general kitchen, washing- and baking-rooms, and an entry with five cells on each side, intended for the confine- ment of very refractory inmates, or for those insane paupers whose conduct made it necessary to keep them separate from the other inmates and occa- sionally to keep them in close custody. On the west side of the hall was a large dining-room, where all the paupers, except the sick, could eat at the one time. There also were the steward's office, a store- room for dry-goods, clothes, groceries, and a room for women. On the eastern sides were two rooms for the private apartments of the steward, and four rooms, with four beds in each, for women. In the third part there was a large hall exactly similar to the one in the story below it, with five doors on each side that opened into the bedrooms of different sizes, in- tended for the use of the male paupers. Each room had a fireplace, and was supplied with from three to half a dozen of beds, with tables and chairs. A large room on the northwest corner in this division was used as an infirmary. The beds of the sick were placed in a row, with chairs between for clothes, and small tables at the foot.
A writer, in an account of the condition of the old poor-house, written in 1865, gives the following facts : " As there is abundance of both wood and stone-coal on the farm, the poor-house is as well warmed in winter as it is ventilated in the summer. There are large stoves in the infirmary, and in the hall before the
sleeping-rooms of the male paupers. There are grates and stoves in all the rooms, and immense fires are kept up in the general kitchen and washing-room. The inmates are furnished with coarse but very com- fortable clothes and shoes whenever they need them. Their food is better in quality and cookery than that of many poor families. They are allowed three full meals every day, consisting of bread, flesh, soup, and vegetables. At two of the meals they are furnished with fresh meat and coffee. One plug of tobacco is given every week to those who use the weed, and to the working-men more is given, according to their labor and apparent wants. In harvest and at thrash- ing and other heavy work the more generous stew- ards, at their own expense, have been accustomed to give whiskey in moderate quantities to those whose former habits made them require some stimulation under the pressure of labor.
" At the present time there are," he continues, "some one hundred and fifteen men, women, and children in the poor-house. This number is from time to time increased or diminished by admissions and discharges, and in the winter season it usually rises to one hun- dred and fifty or thereabouts. Of the present inmates forty-four are women, fifty men, and the remainder children. There are ten women with young children. The paternity of these is not certainly known, and it may be safely presumed that they are all illegitimate. There are twelve insane and idiotic women and girls, and six insane and idiotic men and boys. Among the women are some clean and good-looking girls, whose virtue having become too relaxed, and having suffered in consequence, they are undergoing a course of material and moral astringents."
By section third of the act of the 5th of April, 1849, relative to the Westmoreland poor-house, the directors elected by the people are constituted a body politic, with all the powers incident to an incorporate existence. They are empowered annually to appoint a treasurer, who shall give bond and security, and to employ and remove at pleasure physicians, surgeons, stewards, matrons, and all other attendants that may be necessary for the health and comfort of the poor. They are empowered to bind out as apprentices all such poor children as may come under their authority, provided that the apprenticeship of the male ceases at the age of twenty-one years, and that of the females at the age of eighteen years. By section tenth provision is made to guard the poor against any tyranny, harsh treatment, carelessness, or mis- conduct on the part of the officials who have the daily superintendence of the paupers. It is as fol- lows :
" A quorum of said directors shall, and they are hereby enjoined and required to, meet at the said house of employment at least once in every month, and visit the apartments, and see that the poor are comfortably supported, and hear all complaints and redress, or cause to be redressed all grievances that

may happen by the neglect or misconduct of any person or persons in their employment or other- wise."
The mode of keeping the poor now is a great im- provement on the old plan, under which paupers were sold out to the lowest bidders in their respective townships, and kept on the coarsest and worst food in garrets and outhouses. The erection of a house for their keeping and employment was a design worthy of an elevated benevolence and enlightened Christianity. In it they have warm clothing, good shelter, abundance of wholesome food, and a phy- sician, medicines, and attendance in sickness. To these things are added the solace of company and the consolations of religion. The poor often are not criminal, but simply imprudent and unfortunate. There are many worse men and women prosperous in the world and respectable in society than any of those within the walls of the poor-house, and the gate of heaven is not more easily entered by the rich than it is by these poor, humble penitents in this monastery of St. Lazarus.
The Westmoreland poor-house is about two miles and a half south of the town of Greensburg, and within a hundred yards of the Southwest Railway and of the road which leads to Mount Pleasant. The present building is built near the site of the former one, upon the eastern verge of a level space of ground that descends on the east into a vale through which runs a brook, and ascends on the west into undulating and hilly ground. The house faces to the rising sun, and commands a fine and pleasant prospect, especially in a southern direction. The situation of the house is commendable, not only on account of the view, but on account of the ample ventilation. It is reached from the platform of the railroad by several flights of stairs, which have along either side protecting rails. The home is a station for all trains of the Southwest Railway, and on its schedule is known as " County Home."

THE CATTLE SHOW.
The first effort of the agricultural people of the county to effect an organized society resulted in what was called " The Cattle Show."
In the Gazette for October 31, 1823, appears the fol- lowing notice of the first meeting of the society:
"The Society for the Promotion of Agriculture and Domestic Manu- factures for Westmoreland County held their first annual exhibition in this place on Wednesday last. It rained almost the whole day, and it was extremely unpleasant to be out; notwithstanding, an immense number of people were present. Many persons were prevented from bringing stock to the exhibition from the unfairness of the weather; but we are happy to my that, for the first, it will bear comparison with many others. There were some fine cattle, and some very fine hogs, among which we. noticed one of Gen. Markle's, which weighed five hun- dred and seventy-four pounds. The specimens of domestic manufactures were exceedingly fine. The gypsy hat manufactured by Mim Weigley from the spear-grass was the prettiest thing of the kind imaginable."
Of this society A. W. Foster, Esq., was president, and John I. Scull, secretary.
At the second meeting of the society, Oct. 20, 1824, Andrew Findley, Jr., got the premium of five dollars for the greatest quantity of Indian corn raised on five acres, being seventy-four bushels of shelled corn per acre. Robert Jamison got two dollars and a half for the greatest quantity of potatoes raised on half an acre, being two hundred and two bushels.
Accordingly in the county papers for August the
24th, 1854, advertisements appeared with the follow- ing headings in display lines: " Westmoreland County Agricultural Society. The first annual fair of the West- moreland County Agricultural Society will be held at Greensburg on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 11th, 12th, and 13th of October next. Premiums to the amount of five hundred dollars and upwards will be awarded for the best and second-best stock horses and mares ;" and so on for other horses, mares, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry, for other specified products. of the field, dairy, or shop. It also further set forth that besides the above, " the several committees have power to award discretionary premiums on all meri- torious articles not enumerated in the premium list," and that "any person, by paying into the treasury of the society the sum of fifty cents, may become a mem- ber, which gives him and his family (this includes only the children in their minority) the privilege of admission into the fair-grounds at any time during the fair. It also gives him the privilege of entering his stock or other articles for exhibition without further charge."
It was further announced that a ladies' riding match was to come off on the second day of the fair at ten o'clock ; that an address would be delivered on the second day at two o'clock P.M .; that a plowing match would come off on the last day of the fair; and that a brass band had been secured for the occasion. It was also announced with great gravity that compe- tition for premiums was open to all the States. This announcement was signed by John Eichar, J. C. Rankin, and J. W. Turney, committee of arrange- ments.
Some time later an effort was made to establish a local agricultural society at Mount Pleasant.
WOOL-GROWERS' ASSOCIATION.
On Feb. 17, 1866, a meeting of some of the princi- pal farmers of the south western portion of the county was held at Mount Pleasant to organize a wool- growers' association. At the meeting a constitution was adopted and promulgated. The object of the association was declared to be to advance the interests of wool-growers in the district represented, and to co- operate with other similar societies in aid of State and national associations. The officers elected for the then ensuing year were: President, John D. Mc- Caleb; Vice-Presidents, Mount Pleasant township, Amos Trout; East Huntingdon township, Tobias F. Landis; South Huntingdon township, O. P. Fulton ; Rostraver township, E. F. Houseman ; Sewickley township, P. S. Pool; Hempfield township, J.
