Eg- We intended saying something in
relation to the State Insane Asylum which
we have upon our table, but are so much
pleased with the following taken from the
last number of the Granite Journal that we
adopt his commentators and synopsis
State Insane Asylum
1t is redeeming chapter in the history of
our State, this same Asylum for the Insane,
an oasis in the dreary desert of the past,
where the eye of the political economist and
the honest man, may find welcome resting
place after the fatiguing contemplations Of
the various other public institutions 50 ruin.

The annual report for the present year.
shows that there have been 1912 cases un-
der treatment during the five years since the
establishment of the hospital. Of whom
SAG were discharged, 4S4 recovered, and 62
died
Amongst the causes which have produced
insanity. prominent above all Others, stands
intemperance, as beacon light to warn the
Young of the direfu consequence of that most
hideous vice.
In view of the startling statistics reatingto
Incorporate patients, the report enjoins upon
the Legislature the establishment of hos
pita for inebriates, and house of correction
for drunkards.
The average age of the patients admitted
is 81 years. The extremes, 8, and 72. SO it
will be seen that no age Is exempt from this
dreadful infrmtv-from "the school boy
creeping unwilingly to school, to the hoary-
headed man, trembling upon the shores of
the narrow river which divides life from eter-
nifty"
Three hundred and forty four were miners
one hundred and forty-one without occupa
ton, 80 merchants, and 8 lawyers.
The monthly expenditures are $4,000; and
1t is earnestly desired that the Legislature
appropriate a small amount of money which
is necessary to erect and furnish an additional
wing to the building, which will render it
adequate to the wants of the State for the
next ten years The hospital has been man.

officers since its establishment, during which
time, it is said no single instance has occur

We earnestly recommend the management
of this excellent institutions to the public
functionaries of the State as a suitable guide
for their imitation, and hope that California
will long show her appreciation of such pub
lie men as these, by promoting more of the
sort, and retaining those now on duty.

The News from the South,

The Sea Bird arrived on Sunday afternoon
with later intelligence from the south.
The cattle are dying by thousands in the
lower counties in consequence of the drought
The Santa Barbara Gaztte says:
We stated last week that in the county of
Los Angeles it was estimated that no less than
5000 head of cattle had died from starvation.
1t is now computed, from estimates carefully
made, that at least 10000 head have already
pershed, and the mortality is increasing in
a multiplied ratio.
In the northern parts of Santa Barbara
there SCENE still to be abundant pasturage.
The Gazette says that the tithes paid to the
Church in San Bernardino county exceed the
whole amount of the State and county taxes
which are levied there; and both tithes and
taxes are paid, and no grumbling.
A few days ago VIM. Moore and Jesus
Soto broke Jail in Santa Barbara and dav
or two afterwards two Others followed their
example. They are all notorious scoundrels
and citizens at the north are cautioned to
watch for them.
The San Diego Herald is still harping
upon its favorite idea of Pacific railroad by
the southern route. The people of that place
also are talking of making their port the
depot tor the whalers. Since September sew
eral ofthe smaller whaling craft have entered
San Diego for provisions and water.
Coal of superior quality has been found in
two localities in San Diego county. The
San Diego Coal Company have commenced
work upon their mine in earnest The Pa
cifc Coal Company have vein of coal near
Solidad, ten or twelve miles from town,
which they believe will prove to be highly
valuable. State Journal,

In LUcK.-Our old friend, Henry w. Starr,
picked up in his claim, at Doty's Flat, on
Tuesday the 25th, nugget of the value of
1925. We had sight at the specimen, and
find our eyes much improved thereby.
From Mr.. S. we learn that there is per-
feet mania for quartz mining pervading the
miners in the vicinity of Ophir at this time,
and that the success attending their pros
pecting has started mill into existence, and
several arastas to active work.
