THE INSANE ASYLUM,
The hearing before the investigating COM
ruittee on the Insane Asylum, has not been
brought to close, as reported by the Farm
er, but still continues. The testimony of Dr.
Benson OF Newport, given last week. so far
from auimadver ing upon the management of
the internal affairs of the institution, indi-
Gates entire confidence in the skill, efficiency
and kindness of those in charge. 1t is not
probable that any censurable msmanage-
ment will be shown.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The amount of Internal Revenue collected
IN this district since June 30, 1857, is about
$4,000; and this sum will be increased to S115,
OUo by the receipts of the present month. Thus
should the ratio Of monthly receipts continue
the same as last year. the total collections for
the nscal year ending June 30, 1868 will
amount 10 about S225000 against 1925 998 for
the year next preceding. This reduction in
the receipts is occasioned by the amendments
of the law which went into effect August 13,
1866 and March = a.o 1867, whereby printing pa
carriages, and some other articles were who'll
exempt, and woclen goods and leather partial
ly exempt from taxation.
THE OFFICE OF ASSESSOR.
The sudden demise of Geo. W. Wilcox, Esq,
Assessor of Internal Revenue in this district
has created quite pane among office seek
ers, some half dozen Of whom are making Or
gained efforts to secure the succession.
