The Adventures of an Insane Person.

For some time past Miss Clara A. Brooks. a
young lady OF fGlastenbury, aged nineteen has
been confined as an inmate of the Insane Re-
treat in this city. A week ago day she made
her escape and went home to Glastonbury but
ner frlends started back toward this city with
ner IN carriage. When crossing Hockanum
bridge she threw on her shawl Ieaped from
the carriage, ard ran into the river. II was
quite dark al 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 couId he
procured was out OF sight and reach. Search
was m aoe In the river and along the banks for
some distance, out no trace of her could be
1ound. The next day the river was dragged
for distance of half a mile, and the neighbor-
ing country secured by parties in search of
her. Hand bills describing her appearances
were also sent to all the towns in the naiohhor
hood, and down the Connecticut.
On Sunday sixty or seventy people were ont
searching for her, and they went over Carefully
the whole swampy region from Hockanum to
burnside. But still no trace Of her could no
found, and 1t began TO be supposed that she
had wandered over to the Connecticut and was
drowned. Last evening, however, she went to
a nouse In Glastonbury 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 Con.
necticut instead Of the Hockanum. She went
INTO the rlver so as TO make her pursuers think
she was drowning herself, then waded down
the river, went ashore and made for the woods
From thence for Elk DAYS and nights she staved
in the woods and fields about Glastenb1rv
living entirely on berries, until yes terday when
she procured some apples. Fatigue and hun-
ger induced her at last to 60 to the house where
she was detained. She is quite weak and thin
from her exposure, and, strange to saw is this
morning entirely rational. showing no signs OF
her former insanity. 1t is hoped that as she
recovers strength she may be entirely well in
body and mind.-Hartford Press. "
