VERY BUGLE.
LrouoR IN THE LUNAT1c AsYLuN.-Mr. Heaton.
from the Committee on Benevolent distributions.
in the Ohio Legislature, made q report in the SEN
ate on the subject Of the liquors furnished the ONO
Lunatic Asylum. 1t appears that the whole
amount Of expenditures ior liquors and medicines
since the present Superintendent went into ofhce'
July LIST, 1854, is over 81 400. Over $3.50 Of this
was for brandy, wine, alcohol, aud whiskey. Sew
oral hundred bottles of ale have also been consum-
ed during this time. Tho number of gallons of
brandy, wine, whiskey, and alcohol amounts to
440 account show the following rich item:
Purchased in the mouth Of December, 1854, q
few days before Christmas
2 gallons best port wine $40
2 "best brandy l0.00
s24,OO
Some are uncharitable enough to SUPPOSE that
this purchase squints strongly towards Christmas
festivities, p%uddings, mince pics, &c, &c
BANKS IN THE UNITED STATrs.-There are seven
ty.one Banks in the United States having a capital
Of a million of dollars or more each. The Bank OF

Bank of Louisiana, at New Orleans, comes near
ly up to the same mark. s. $4,000 0 capital. The
American Exchange and Metropolitan Banks Of
New York have each three millions, and the New
Orleans Canal and Banking Company, and the
Bank of Charleston, S. c., have about the same
amount.

Children. 1t is estimated frcm statistical tables
e that the number Of children born on the 10th Of
= March, to all of whom the Emperor and Empress
I are godfather and godmother, must be about $4,000

are estimated to yield the establishment the enor-
" nous sum of SO 900, 900 per anum. One firm alone
pays the Times as high as $4,000 a year for al

that Was the question.
SWEET PoTArors.-Thos who were fond Of this
vegetable will regret to learn that the crop is al
most o nutility in the Southern States the coming
season. Tho seed has been destroyed by the in
tensely cold weather. The State of Georgia alone
produced, in 1855, nearly 7,000,0 900 bushels, and
in that State there will not be the 1.-THE Of q crop
this year.
FREE BLACKS IN KENrrcKv.-We learn from ar
a article in the Frakfort Commonwealth that there
are over 1000 free blacks in Kentucky.

az ures and doctrines which will insure the pc
en- petuity of our Republican Institutions and til
Of preservation of our glorious Union. The Senat
all dissented from the resolution.
