DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM.
On motion of Mr.. ROSS, 81. j. R. No. 81,
relative to improving the grounds around
the new Deaf and Dumb Asylum, was
taken from the table, and the question being
on the adoption of said resolution,
Mr.. ROSS said the object OF the resolu-

a sum not probably exceeding $1,000 in
leveling and smoothing down the grounds
around the institution, so that they might
be hereafter beautified by planting shrub
berry. They were now rough and torn up,
and he regarded it as proper that they
should be leveled and smoothed down.
Mr.. HILL, of Defiance, was opposed to
the resolution. He regarded the conduct
of the Trustees in permitting the elegant
trees heretofore growing in said grounds
to be cut down, as exceedingly reprehensl-
ble-but little short of vandalism. 1t he
had permission to direct the matter, he
would have said, Blackburn, spare
those trees" He thought the whole thing
wrong to tear up those grounds, and then
again proceed, at an expense of thousands
OF dollars, to repair such injuries.
Mr.. THORNHILL thought there was no
occasion for the adoption OF such resolu-
ton. There had been too much money
already recklessly expended upon that
asylum. He felt friendly to all proper ex.
penditures. but in this instance he could
not see the necessity of an additional and
unlimited appropriation.
Mr.. JEWETT thought the appropriation
bill had amply provided for all the neces-
sary expenditures on the new asylum and
grounds. The language of the appropria-
