ABOUT thirty inmates of the State
lunatic hospital were transferred to the
Danville institution for the treatment
Of the insane yesterday afternoon. The
lunatics occupied separate car on the
Northern Central railway and were
guarded by a number of attendants.
Their insanity was generally ofa mild
and harmless type. The crowded state
of the lunatic hospital near this city has
rendered the transfer necessary. More
will be removed to Danville in a short

yellow skinned turkey, weighing from
ten to twelve pounds. Examine it
Thoroughly to see that all the pin
feathers are taken out hold it over a
blaze to SINCE any fine hares that may
remain; wash it thoroughly inside and
out, and rub it over with salt. Take the
gizzard, heart and liver, put them in
cold water, and let them boil until
tender. When done, chop them very
fine. Take stale bread, or the large
Boston crackers, and CRATE or chop them
Add salt, pepper and some sweet herb
if liked, to the bread crumbs, after
which beat two eggs with which tC
moisten the crumbs; and mix thor
oughly with this chopped inward
not forgetting to put in salt and butter
Fill the inside of the turkey with the
dressing, taking care that the neck ol
crop is made TO look plump, and sew
the openings, drawing the skin tightly
together. Then rub little butter ovel
your turkey, and lay it upon the grat'
of your meat pan. Cover the bottom o
the pan well with boiling water. Afte
half hour baste the turkey by pouring
over it the gravey that has begun t,
form in the pan. Repeat the basti n.
once in about fifteen minutes. In al
oven of average temperature Il twelve
pound turkey will require at least tbre
hours; but every oven has its own wa.
of baking, and tho cook must be gov
erned by it.
