THE SHepenbn Asylum. $50 little has lately
been said OF tnis Institution that MANY persons
have almost forgotten Its origin and design
For the hene6t of such and Of any Others who
may feel interested, we will give a short account
of it. Moses Shepherd wealthy and charita-
he member of the Society OF Friends on his de-
cease II few years ago. denoted half million
Dollars for the purpose of establishing first
class Asylum for the Insane. In accordance with
the WILL u Board Of Trustees was appointed with
]. Saurin Norris ESQ.,, as President. who pur-
chased about 400 acres of land adjoining Tow
sontown, between the York Turnpike and Chas.
ST. Avenue, for the purpose named in MIR. Shep-
perd's WILL On fine elevation near the centre
OF the property, the Asylum building is to lie
erected, according to design by Mr.. vaux
of New York. When completed 1t will consist of
two main wings, each 400 tt. in length, with a
space of IL Fl. between intended for Chapel
The foundation for one wing is laid and a small
portion is under roof. The building will be- of
brick with heavy stone foundations, slate roof
fire proof, and when finished, will be one Of the
largest, most substantial and ornamental build
ings of the kind in the world. The Institution
is designed to be strictly curative in its character
and every possible care is taken to secure the
health, comfort and safety Of the inmates
Water will be supplied to the building from
q spring on the premises. s'a -H2e

Important Decision.

A few weeks ago, we received a letter from Mr..
J. w. Webster of Hartford Co. asking US to make
inquiry whether he could distill some Sorghum
molasses as an experiment and not for SALE with
out paying Revenue Tax.
Thr bugh Mr.. E. T. Church, Rev. Inspector,
this letter was referred to the head of the Bureau
ct Washington, who replies as follows:
"a DistIer's license must be required to be
taken by every person running still, without
any other exception than is provided by the ex-
press letter of the Law. Druggists and chemists
only may use "A still for the recovery Of Alcohol
used in scientific processes. without being licens-
ed AS Dlsiilers. Mr.. Webster will therefore be
required 10 take out n license for the prosecu-
ton of his s'experiment."
