Lunatic Asylum Here.

The Reporter of the Richmond Wing, who
has recently paid visit to the Lunatic Asylum
of this place, says, that he "does not think,
after a careful examination Of the premises, the
mode Of treatment, and the accommodations
provided for the patients that he is guilty OF
extravagant eulogy, when he asserts that there
is no better regulated institution Of the kind,
either in this country or Europe Or one which
has more humane Or skillful head than Dr.
Stribling, or more competent or kind-hearted
assistants than he has attracted around him.

Most of the Radical press, while urging i'm
parchment, take care to say little OR nothing
about the merits of the articles of impeachment.
The truth is, if the President were to be tried
on the law and the testimony and without
reference to party feelings and party purpose,
the case would be dismissed at once.

The Approaching Contest.

In short time the late OF this State Will be
determined by the election on the ratification
or rejection of the Constitution, which will be
submitted by the State Mongrel Convention. =
At the same time, State officers, Ex-Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General, >
and, also, candidates for Congress will be elect
ed IF the Constitution be ratified, and the
candidates for State and Federal offices of the
Radical party be elected, then will the fate of
Virginia be deplorable indeed. Her liberties
will be gone, and her citizens will be crushed
beneath the weight of taxation. No effort to
save Virginia from such fate should be spared
by any of her sons. Those who shall fail to do
their duty then, in opposition to the ratification
of the Constitution, and the election of the can
didates of the Mongrel party, will be recreant
to the trusts reposed in them, traitors to liber-
ty, and enemies of their race
Those who feel the importance of the contest,
which will so soon be upon us, should adopt all
the means in their power to arouse the people
to proper sense of their duties. None should
be overlooked-all should be appealed to, and
consulted with. The best means to apprise the
people Of their duties, and to impress upon them
the importance of the contest, is to have them
supplied with papers which are true and reli-
able

LUDICRoUs Scene IN a CnURCH,-An
aged clergyman, speaking of the solemnity
attached to the ministerial office. said that
during the whole term of forty or fifty
years that he had officiated therein, his
gravity had never but once been disturbed
in the pulpit On that occasion he noticed
man directly in front of him leaning over
the railing of the gallery with something
in his hand, which he afterward discovers
ed to be a big chew of tobacco just taken
from his mouth. Directly below sat a
man fast asleep, with his head thrown
back and mouth wide open. The man in
the gallery was intently engaged in raising
and lowering his hand, taking an exact
observation, till at last, having got it
right, he lie; fall the quid, and it went
plump into the mouth of the sleeper below.
The whole scene was SO decidedly ludi-
crous that for the first and last lime in the
pulpit, an involuntary smile forced itself
upon the countenance of the preacher.
