During the superintendence OF DR.. Wilson at the
Bloomingdale Asylum, this sad result occurred to
two patients. Reason had for q time left them and
beth died of epilepsy They were of both sexes and
about twenty years Of age.
Who can say that these are not frequently
followed by those direful diseases, Insanity and
Consumptionf The records Of the Insane Asylums,
and the melancholy deaths BY Consumption, bear
ample witness to the truth Of these assertions In
Lunstic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition

A NEW PARTITION WALL-A new kind of
wall is coming into use in England, the advan-
tages claimed for which are the very important
ones OF non absorbency of moisture, non eonduc-
ton OF heat, economy of space, a washable sur
lace, and, withal, cheapness. Over a frame
work OF strong cross.wires, of about one-eighth
OF an inch in thickness, there is woven com
pact layer of fibrous matter, which is saturated
with solution that renders it fire-proof 1t is
coating Of light Scott's cement is then put upon
1t for inside facing, and Of Portland cement for
made impermeable to moisture, smooth, and
easily washed with water, thus saving the ex-
pense OF repeated lime washings. 1t is formed
into slabs in iron frames, which are put together
and closely and securely fastened with bolts
The slabs are from one and a-half inch to four
inches thick. They serve as superior paneling
for dividing walls and partitions. Where space
is OF importance. it has the advantage, perhaps,
over concrete walling, in enabling q wall to be
made OF not more than one and a-half or two
inches in thickness and yet its quality is said to
greatly deaden sound.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALs.-Henry Bergh ha
recently written a letter to Commodore Wander
bilt, arguing that, as the great test element of
the success OF that well-known railroad man has
been the horse, he should pay more regard to
the comfort OF the animals employed in drawing
the cars of the Fourth-avenue Railway Com
pany, of which he is president. Mr.. Bergh saws
that he has counted one hundred passengers on
. car, when the track was covered with snow
ten inches deep. He estimates the car with the
hundred passengers as weighing eighteen thou
sand pounds, and says that this is a cruel load
Tor any two horses. MIR. Bergh also complains
of the prolonged labor of the horses, which are
obliged to travel eighteen miles day; that is.
to 90 over six trips of three miles each. The
feed, ii is asserted, is also inadequate and while
entire oats and hay OF the best qualities are alb
solufely imperative, chopped and often sour
messes are given to the wearied horses. Mr..
Bereh further complains OF the deficiency of
bedding and of the bad shoeing of the horses
He concludes by saying that the bad treatment
OF the horses on all the street railroad and omni-
bus lines in New York and in the vicinity is
fully as cruel as that above described.

which is all that is graded above the

Importance and necessity of laying track
