Two melancholy oases of insanity were reported to Head Constable Hicks, of Scotch-street station, Ar magh, on Saturday evening last. Two brothers named Lavish residing in Tyra, within two miles of the city of Armagh, it appeared went out of their minds simultaneously, and had betimes very violent, so much so, indeed, that apprehensions were entertained for some time, lest serious injuries might be indicted by them upon their parents. Before the arrival of the constabulary, a clergyman proceeded to the house to pacify and prevent, if possible, the brothers committing personal violence upon the inmates of the house. One was armed with a sword, and the other with a loaded gun, and they had their parents locked up in the barn, seemingly with the intention of killing them. The clergyman, with great difficulty, fortunately succeeded in getting the 'fun discharged while in the hands of the lunatic, but immediately was compelled to escape for his life, in consequence of the trea tm ent he was about to receive. The constabulary, on their arrival, some time after, found the house illuminated with candles, and one of the unfortunate men with a sword, which he was blandishing about in a frightful manner. The other brother was not then to be found. Dr. Savage, who accompanied the constabulary, on going forward to soothe the poor fellow, with whom he was acquainted, was rather roughly handled by him. At the moment, however, the constabulary succeeded in arresting and handcuffing him, and had him conveyed to the police-bar racks, and thence, after the usual formalities, to the Armagh Asylum. About 12 o'clock on the same evening, Bead-Constable Hicks, with a number of his men, returned to the house to take the -other brother into custody. This time they found him engaged in wheeling stones in the neighbourhood of his residence, now-and-again stopping and striking two large stones together in his bands, and making a terrible noise, which was heard at a great distance. The house was still illuminated, and the mother had by this time got away. Head-Constable Hicks directed his men to con ceal themselves behind a hedge adjacent to the pre mises, and while the lunatic would be passing to rush suddenly upon him and arrest him. This plan proved ccmpletely succesful. He was brought to the barracks, and on Sunday evening placed in the asylum also. In the meantime his brother had escaped from the institution. Be occupied a room three stories from the ground. He was pursued by the keepers, who found him at ahowie in the neighbourhood of his home, with no clothing upon him but his shirt, and lodged him again in the asylum.— Northern Whig.
