Loss of Reason from the discharge Of Cannon
The New York Express of Monday says that on the
4th inst whilst the salute was firing on the Battery
in that city, two young were bathing in the rear
Of Castle Garden. The two were diving into the
water just at the moment when Of the heavy guns
was discharged 1t was observed that they remained
under water an unusual length Of time, but they at
behave in a strange and unusual manner. They
were rescued and taken from the water and what
is horrid to relate both were utterly bere of reason
They were conducted to their homes, where one of
them remained till Friday in state of insanity, at
which time there were signs of returning reason
The other is still maniac, and has been sent to The
Asylum at Bellevue.
