THE INSANE AsYLrM.-Tbe visit ofthe
Legislative committee. last week. 10 in
veStigate the charges against the insane
asylum, we learn. served as something
of an eye-Opencr TO those members OF
the committee who had credited the
wholesale charges of cruelty, incOmpe-
tency, etc, with which certain ncwspa-
pcrs in the north part Of the State have
lately been filed. There is no doubt
but that either Burlington or Montpelier
would willingly give Judgement to a
similar institution in case the State
should decide that the present asylum is
improperly managed or insufficient TO
meet present or future requirements.
But why. in order to create or hasten
such decision, is it necessary for our
northern exchanges to frighten timid
people into mysteries by tales Of abuse
in the imaginatiOns Of form
er patients. illusions to the horrors of
the Spanish inquisitiOn. etc. Please
don't do il any more.-BrattJe5or0 Pb0-

ANEcDoTE. as a passenger train
going west on the DtrOit and MilWau-
kee road. recently, was clear of Detroit,
and running at the rate Of ten or twelve
miles an hour, an old man named Dixon
living in IOnia county. suddenly leaped
from his seat, rushed 10 the platform
and bounded off, turning about forty
before he brought mp
against the fence. In short time he
appeared at the depot, looked, all around
and then exclaimed: "What an old
fool: | thought ] had left my umbrella
here and jumped off the cars to get it,
and now hang me if ! don't remember
it under the seat"
THE VALLEY LEAsE.-The statement
which we copied last week from the
Springfield Repu5ljcan. TO the effect that
the managers Of the Vermont Central
Railroad obtained last year a twenty
years renewal Of their lease Of the Yer
mont Valley road, is pronounced incor-
rect. Such a renewal was authorized
by the Directors Of the Valley road, but
the lease was never made ont. and the
have since forbidden such
action. II is therefore untrue that any
body has been ''taken down" in their ef-
forts to release the road from the con-
troll of the Vermont Central A change
in the management is not, however, to
be looked for immediately.-B Brattltboro

GRAND JURIEs Oregon proposes to
dispense with Grand Juries. There has
been considerable dissatisfaction with
this system OF Indictment. especially
