western L,,,,atic Asylum.

The following paragraph, which we
copy from the Parkersburg News, is
compiled from the twenty-fifh Annu-
al Report ofthe President and Direc-
toryofthe Western Lunatic Asylum,
for 1852:
aThe number Of patients in the
Asylum at the commencement Of the
year, was s12; the number admitted
during the year was 1875; discharged,
eloped and died, during the year; 80;
leaving $50 occupants at the close Of
the year. Ofthese, by far the largest
Number were made lonatics by ill.,
health, and arrangement ofthe sys.
TEN; thir.y-one were crazcd by III
Temperance twenty four BY religion,
excitement; fourteenby disappointed
love; tenby hard study; seven by the
use oftobacco, and three by sheer la-
illness. Wood county has furnished
five inmates, and Writ county one.-
As conclusive proofof,he great i'm
portance to the public veal which this
institution possesses, we have only 10
state, that during the last year, FIFTY
ONE lunaticshay sane through
the treatment there practised, and are
now restored to their fre,siles and
friends.

Tho wheeling Bridge,

A Washington correspondent says,
public attention will soon be called 10
the remarkable conflict between the u
nited States Supreme Court and the
Legislative branch Of the Government,
in the Wheeling Bridge case. The
Court, BY a decree atits late session,
after a re-heariug of the case. decreed
tha,the bridge should be removed as an
obstruction 10 navigation, or'eleyated to
a certain height, and they allowed a
certain time within which the bridge
company should comply with terms Of
The decree. Congress, at The late SEES;
sion, and after the adjournment Of the
Court, constituted the bridge a post
road, with as'view 10 save the bridge
and decree They undertake 10 legal
ize what the judiciaryshas decided 70 be
a nuisance. In February, the u. S.
Marshal will proceed to execute the de-
cree, and summon posse, and, il need
be, call upon the President for military
aid. The Governor Of Virginia. on the
other hand, will resist the decree and
employ the militia for that purpose.
There is a clash Of authority between
two coordinate branches Of the gov
ernment, and in which States are deep
" interested on, one side and the 9TH
er. Whether; Congress or The Court
is to yield is the, question. .rala.
