TIM Agrunt MORTUARY CIIAPEL.—It will be in the
recollection of our readers that a resolution was passed at
the Easter Sessions, that • Mortuary Chapel should he
built in the Cemetery at the New Asylum, the Com-
missioners in Lunacy having expressed their opinion that
it was absolutely necessary IsAore the Bishop could be
asked to eonsecrate. The Contract for the Building Was
accepted hy Mr. Miles, of this 'wish, under the direr-
tions of the County Surveyor. On Tuesday last the very
interesting ceremony of laying the foundation stone W3,.-i
performed hy Miss Syrues, the eldest daughter of the
Ileheal Superintendent. The stone having been declared
well and truly laid, and a very suitable prayer offered
up by the Chaplain for God's blessing on the work, the
Superintendent made a few appropriate remarks saying
how peculiarly gratifying it was to him that an oppor-
tunity would now soon be afforded of ageing any inmate
of the Asylum decently and properly buried, in • sl,s4 wholly free from all intruders, and expressing his deter-
mination that the cenietery and chapel should be kept in
that order, cleanliness, and condition which they ought to
be, and not as the parish churchyard intersected by paths
and overrun by children, ke., eke, He also hoped that
relative% would nob only never be ashamed to come and
see where the dead were laid, but would feel a pleasure as
it were in seeing and knowing that the last resting place
in God's-acre was solemnly and truly cared for. The Rev.
It. G. Watson added a few kind remarks, and the little
assembly consisting of the Superintendent and his family,
Chaplain, Assistant Medical Officers Mr. Watson, and
ninny of the Asylum Servants and Patients, separated,
not a little impressed with the simple but earnest
ceremony that had been carried out. A bottle with sonic
few coins, the two last Asylum yearly reports, and a copy
of that day's Donwt Ononty lfzpreso, WAS buried in the
stone, and duly and properly cemented.

also given for linniemimle bread, cultivation of allotments
and cottage gardens, long service, clean and neatcottages,

best ornamental design, and the lit prize went to a
miniature lake, well filled with fish, lithe midst of which
a fountain threw two crystal jets. The subscribers also
competed for devices of cut flowers, collections of flowers,
and vegetables. Besides these there was a series of open
wises, also a cheese show under the management of
Messrs. T. Griffin, If. Macy, and J. Cockcrow. The iiidges

tributed by the President, who suggested opening the

were present. The Eventhot hand played • selection of
music. Everything palmist off well, and the hon. secs,
deserve special praise for their exertions.
