the CITY IMFIRMARY.
Visit Of the Common Council aud city Of
feors - the City Infrmary.

The Council and City ORosrs Of Cleveland, :,
in response to an invitation from the Board =
visited the City Inhrmary yesterday altar,
noon, starting at 2 P. n, going ever the IH-'
armsry building and farm, taking supper
and strawberries With Mr.. c. N. SnIih, ths
geniai InarmHry Superintendent, Rad r.
turning in the evening. Though but q smslE
number were present, tho visit was . PLEASANT
one, and sll expressed themselves a. greatly
pleased with the condition and prospects OF
tho Inhrmary.
We regret that, owing to the crowded state
of our columns, We shall be unable to pre-
sent anything more than the brief details in
regard to the present condition Of the In
hrmary. This, however, It is less neoesSary
for US to do IS We published few months
since, full history and description Of the
institution and its management. -
The present InhrmAry Board is made up
as follows:
b, 3. BurlisOn, Aoting Dirsctor.
M. CraPssr, Chairman Committee on In
Urinary,
c. N. Smith, suPerintsndsnt.
These gentlemen have sII discharged their
duties with fidelity and tact, and the four
ishing condition Of the institution is owing
to their care. DR.. I. b. Marshall is the
excellent InhrmarV Physician, and G..
s. Wheaton, Esq., the no less e1-
csllsnt Clerk of the In6rmary Board.
Mrs o. NJ. Smith, the sistsr-in-Iav
Of the Superintendent, is the MGsrOn, and
Mrs Barton the Superintendent Of the sewing
room. Miss Wilson is the teaohsr Of the IN
hrmsry School, and has fourteen bright and
promising little pupils under her szesIIsnt
instruction. There are at present IsI in
mates Of the Infrmary of whom about one
hundred are females. TWsnty-six women
are confined and kept in the House Of Cor
rsctiOn. Ten men are able to work on the
farm, and do all its work. But three hired
men are employed in the whole establish
ment. With this labor the Inirmary farm,
consisting Of eighty-hVs acres, is kept in
condition Of really Femarkabls excellence.
A large and varied crop, consisting Of wheat,
corn, oats, potatoes, grapes, ourrants, straw
berries, fruits and garden vegetables, was
raised last year, on which some s., SEQ WaH
realized, and the value Of the crop this year
will be grsster still.
Of the internal arrangements Of the In
frmary, and their exosllsncs, we gave q full
description SOGe months ago. Suffice it now
to say that everything Is going on satisfac-
torily. A handsome addition is being made
to the Inhrmsry Building, for the purpose Of
afording comfortable accommodations to the
inoufably insane. Another barn is greatly
needed to accommodate the increase in the
amount of crops, and We hope that one viii
be erected this season.
We must close. In doing 50, We must say
that, though sickness, suffering and abjoot
poverty srs at best unpleasant, they are
made as nearly pleasant IS possible under
the excellent management Of eur Board Of
Inhrmary, its Superintendent, and Its Ply
sician.

It is said that Louis Napoleon thinks
Spain has some real grievances against
Peru, and is entitled 10 o nmaterial guar
snty," the phase with which Wsrs are now
s.dsys originated and governments over
thrown.
At the Cambridge Commencement or
eOmmemoration in England, one Of the
customs Of the students IS to cheer indi-
Viduals, sentiments and countries, with
out regard to the general business Of the
meeting OF the occasion which brings them
together. Denmark, ct the recent exhibi-
tian, was warmly cheersd-so was Lord
Pslmerston; but Earl Russell received
nothing but groans A cheer for the rebel
South was not unanimous, as the Cam
bridge men have made up their minds that

fes 3 bloody rebellion snduthe overthrow
Of free government.
The London Spectator, in 3 curious srti-
Gle on educated i nOrsnoe, says Of the
English people:
Gas rule, the masses know nothing,
the English pesssntry, for example, not
having an idea Of any geography, and the
educated very little indeed beyond q few
names and places, aud the general aspect
Of the map. They have very rarely an
accurate notion Of comparative size even
in Europe. There we're more than four
hundred members in the House Of Com
mons on Tuesday night when Mr.. Golden
gave his account Of the foundation Of
Singapore by Sir Stamford RafHes. We
put il to the conscience OF the majority
did not the statements that Singapore
gas on an island, that it was free port,
that it was founded by Sir Stamford Raj
fies, strike them as new information"
