Notwithstanding the above, 1t Is stated that Orr
visited the Wells school yesterday afternoon, wher0
he suddenly seized little girl and loudly proclaim
ed, to her and the other childrens terror, thae
"the world would come to an end on Monday next;n
"he was gaping;" and made other similar excita-
BILE expressions. His conduct created quite con-
stcrnafion, and the smaller children were greatly
alarmed. The teachers were compelled to forcib1y
eject the intruder from the school room before order
could be restored.
Orr afterwards entered the Mayor and Alder
mems room, in the City Hail. where he denounced
the authority ofthosc officials, (who were not pro-
sent and also abused the police Of the city in the
most violent terms. We submit that after such ex-
bibtions OF an evidently unsound state OF mind tho
learned physicians would do well to revise their Ger
tifcate.
We understand that DR.. Thaxter gave no profess
sional opinion of Orr's state Of mind his first in
teryiew with him. having Mt that time but few mn
ments 10 converse with the man, and then under
very unfavorabe circumstances for ascertaining tina
truth in the case. He simply expressed the appre-

the conclusion that he was not In such state o.
