From the Boston Traveller
The Case of Return to Reason. after
Forty Years Insanily.

We stated the other day. in general terms,
the cave Of man in ihe Newton Poor House,
ho after an insanity of about forty years (,hir-
~ of which he wa. chained,) had reco, cred
hts reason. The name of the unfortunate man
is Elisha Robbins, formerly a shoemaker by
trade. He was born abou, the year 1856, and
is therefore nearly 64 years of age. He was
% years old when frs, seized with INSANITY
Al ,ha, time he had just l,s, his wife, he had
two children then living. Soon afier his seiz-
ure he was so vioeut that i, became necessary
To chain him down, wi,hou, clothes save shirt,
aud with only sttaw 10 sleep upon. The course
was rendered absolutely necessary by his hab-
us, which were no better than those Of the
beasts Of the field.
Al ore time the paupers were farmed out by
The town TO the lowest bidders. Among others
was Robbins. who was chained in barn by
his keeper, where he was found one day with
his feet frozen 50 as to render their amputailon
necessary. He was forthwith removed, and
since that time has had every comfort compaii-
BILE with his siua,ion--his room being always
kep, warm. About year ago, Robbins frs.
began to exhibi, signs Of returning reason
II observed lha, he paid more attention TO
personal cleanliness. He was encouraged, and
shortly appeared after The laps of nearly CEN
rury-in the cloihing of man. Soon after
he was allowed 10 wander about the building.
and al times he would turn to and help in light
work, such as husking corn. &c
Finally, he began 10 talk of persons and pla-
ces familiar in his youthful days, before reason
was clouded bur beyond that period all to him
was blank He described with perfect accura-
cy places with which he was conversant in his
earlier days; spoke of The companions of thai,
period one in particular whom he denomina-
led "gal," though if now living she has al.
,ained TO over three score years He has been
tried in various ways as TO the verge Of his
memory; bu, il always stops a, the commence
menr of his insanity. One day the marriage of
an acquaintance, which took place in his early
days of reason, was mentioned, and the name
of The bride intentionally misslaled.s He in
stantly corrected the error, and gave the right
name. When asked in what year he was born!
he replies, "About 17S6"--but still insists that
he is but tweniy-four years of age. AT the
last accounts he continued TO improve, and ii
was hoped that reason was again firmly seated
upon her throne.
