VI, Iasaae Asyiuni--We occupy por-
ton Of our paper this week with this inter
esliug aud important Report ofthe Trustees
and Superintendent Of the VT Asylum for
the Insane. Important we say for several
reasons. First, because it demonstrates that
the disease OF insanity, formerly considered
incurable is as susceptible Of cure as any
other of equally severe symptoms. And
second, because it is OF the utmost conse-
quence that the community generally should
be aware Of the advantages of such insiItu-
lions as this, and especially Of the necessity
OF giving the insane the privileges OF one,
in an early stage Of the disease. No one
would think OF delaying application to a
medical practitioner for friend in severe
attack Of any other disease. and yet hundreds
yearly, refrain from placing their insane
friends under proper curative treatment Tor
months and some times years, until the case
becomes confirmed and almost hopeless
There is no course so humane, and withal
so economical as TO place the insane the mo-
ment the symptoms appear in an institution
established for the treatment OF this disorder.
Any other plan for managing them is more
expensive than this, and no other affords
hundreth part Of the prospect OF a cure. We
hope every one will carefully read the doc
ument for every family is liable TO be afilict'
ed with the disease. The success Of this
institution is equal 10 that Of any other
