ADVENTURES OF AN INSANE PER-
SON.


For some time past Miss Clara A. Brooks,
young lady of Glastonbury, aged nineteen,
has been confined as an inmate of the Insane
Retreat in this city. A week ago to-day she
made her escape and went home to Glasteu.
bury, but her friends started back toward
this city with her in carriage When
crossing Hockanum bridge she threw of her
shawl, leaped from the carriage, and ran in.
to the river. 1t was quite dark at the time.
and SO, though she was plainly heard in the
river, she could not be found. She waded
rapidly down stream and then went ashore.
and before lights could be procured was out
oil sight and reach. Search was made in
the river and along the banks for some dis.
tance, but no trace of her could be found.
The next day the river was dragged for
distance of half mile, and the neighborinR
country secured by parties in search of her.
Handbills describing her appearance were
also sent to all the towns in the neighbor.
hood, and down the Connecticut.
On Sunday sixty or seventy people were
out searching for her, and they went over
carefully the whole swampy region from
Hockanum to Burnside. But still no trace
OF her could be found, and 1t began to be
supposed that she had wandered over to the
Connecticut and was drowned. Last even.
ing, however, she went to house in Glas.
tenbury to ask for some money. The inmates
OF the house, though not certain who she
was, detained her until her friends could
be sent for, and she was identified and taken
home.
She said that at the time she escaped she
supposed she was on the bridge across the
Connecticut instead of the Hockanum. She
went into the river so as to make her pursuers
think she was drowning herself, then waded
down the river, went ashore, and made for
the woods. From then for six days and
nights she stayed in the woods and fields
about Glastonbury, living entirely on Der.
ries, until yesterday, when she procured
some apples. Fatigue and hunger induced
her at last to go to the house where she was
detained. She is quite weak and thin from
her exposure, and, strange to say, is this
morning entirely rational, showing no signs
of her former insanity, 1t is hoped that, as
she RECEIVERS strength, she may be entirely
well in body and mind.-Hartford Press oT

week last lady of Henrico county, who
had been sick for some time, died to all an

been very warm, and large drops OF prespi.

person. Physicians who have examined
her can discover no pulse, and in every 9th.

As DER my lips the Lethe passed,

But who could bear that gloomy blank,
Where joy was lost as well as painY
Quickly of MemorY's fount drank,
And brought the past all back again.

A Judicions Rebnke.

The Columbus Statesman, af(ar some
structures on the late sermon of Rev. Mr..
FELroN, in that city, in which he made a
fearful exposure OF the spiritual and moral
condition of that community, thus speaks
''the words Of truth and soberness'
will hit many another locality.
'That which Is true with regard to the
vice and immortality IN Columbus is like
wise true of almost every section OF the
country, Everywhere il -abounds most
iearfrhly, For this there must be a cause.
The Almighty, we were told by Protestant
clcrgymen, had given the late War bis spe-
ciai countenmce as soon as the work of
emancipation had been decided upon and
Protestant clcrgymen, protesting to derive
inspiration from this alleged fact, betOOk
themselves to haranguing political meet
ings and recruiting meetings, breathing
fire and vengeance toward the Southern
people. ...." .t.I .
Not content with addressing such meet
ings. they RECALLED their audiences with
their stump speeches from their pulpits.
They proiessed tO bc doing an acceptable
service to the Lord; and now the sequel
proves that all this time they were indi-
rcctly playing into the hands OF the Devil,
or how comes ii that all manner of vice
has grown iuto such ungainly proportions,
IL they Were doing most especial service
for the LorlS The truth stands revealed,
that Vice and immortality have feartlIlly In
creased since the commencement of the
Wur--incrcnscd because Of the War. Would
this have been the case, if the War had
been one Of the Almighty's desiring and
prose cutionY Or cant lie successfully
grapple with the Devil in this wOrld2
"Clcrgymcn ought to learn from tho
present condition Of society, that when
they hound men ON to cutting each others
throats, they are doing most acceptable
service to the Devil and not to the Al
mighty. Protestant clcrgymen have winkcd
at malfeasancc in Office, and have helped
into Office scoundrels and men they knew
to be dcbased IN their characters, as against
men of unblemished characters, because the
former belonged to the Union party. and
the latter to the Democratic party. What
was this doing but giving countenance To
vice and immoralitys We are glad to see
an awakening in their minds, and the mani
icstation of n disposition to purge the
country of the social disorders and dis
tcmpers they unwittingly, we will Chari-
tably say, helped infict upon it."
