      The poor-house in this county is located five miles north of
   the village of Mason.  Three wooden buildings, with very low
   ceilings, two of them one and a half stories high, and the other
   but one story, constitute the poor-house.  They are in toler-
   ably good order, considering that the character of the buildings
   are such as to make them quite unfit for the purposes to which
   they are appropriated.  There are two insane persons in the
   house, and two idiots.  The provision for the insane is
   wretched.  There were several old persons here.
      The keeper is a humane man, and anxious to make ample
   provisions for the ordinary wants of the paupers.
      The editor of the Ingham County News was with us on this
   visit.
