re- TnE AsrLuM IN DANGER
During the past week it was discovered
that tho centre bhilling Of tue Asylum
was in great danger, from the fac; that
in many placcs-Owing to the great
weight Of the cupclo and the lack OF
support-the walls had cracked and
bulged in several places to the extent
Of some inches, A committee of prac.
teal mechanics aud business men was
Immediately organized, of which Mr..
+. NJ. Challant was chosen chairman,
who proceeded at oneo to examine the
walls. Their sworn report confirmed
the runners which had reached US; and
described infinitely the danger and its
causes. A tolcgraphic dispatch was at
once sent to the State authorities, and
tho report Of tho committee followed by
mail. The great trouble seems to be
that the immense weight Of cupelo,
(Which should never have been put up
until tho centre building had the sup.
port Of another wing) swayed by the
frequent gusts of wind which strike it,
causes the bulging and rCceding which
now threaten. the demolition CT the Gu
