STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

We visited the grounds of the Asylum a
few days ago. The building location is
about two miles in a northeasterly direction
from this city, on an eminence several hun
dred feet above the surrounding country
and gently slopes to the south and east af
fording {. very fine and extensive view
while on the north and west appears il
stately majesty a high and well wooded
mountain yielding protection as well as
grandeur of appearance. The present road
to the site is quite precipitous-" a hard
road to travel" and to remedy this the COM
mittee have located new road from the
building to Morris Plains station, which is
to be made suitable for a rail and carriage
road so that locomotive can take the
cars direct to the building.
Messrs Coleman s. Bro, the contractors,
have now thirty or forty men engaged in
grading the road, which will be completed
as soon as possible. The road from the
quarry to the site, a distance of half mile,
is almost finished; the grade is sufficient to

own gravity, while horses will draw the
empty cars back to the quarry.
This quarry, which is known as the Jen-
nings quarry, (from which large quantities
of stone were used in the erection of the
NJ. E. Church and other buildings of this
town, has been consequently penetrated
about three hundred feet. Messrs Coleman
s. Bro. have now from twelve to fifteen men
at work at this place who are engaged in
raising large quantities of stone by means
of derrick erected for that purpose. From
the base of the quarry there has been
large quantity of earth removed and an ex-
cavation made which is about ten feet deeper
than the former one, and penetrates the
quarry one hundred and fifty feet, SO that
the granite is well exposed, and from all
the indications, the stone will be of the best
quality and in abundance.

THE MIRAGE OF THE PLAINS.

We often read of the mirage of the Af-
rican deserts, and how fainting travellers
are cheered by the sight of fountain,
which turns out to be only a mockery of the
vision. But it is not SO well known that
similar appearances are common on our
great Western Plains. A writer in the Gal
| axy says
One Of the first subjects which addresses
itself to the mind of the stranger on the
plains, particularly if he be of philosophi-
cal or scientific turn Of mind, is the mirage
which is here observed in all its perfection.
/ Many a weary mile of the traveller has been
whiled away in endeavors to account for
the beautiful, changing visions presented by
the mirage.
| Sometimes the distortions are wonderful
and so natural as to deceive the most ex-
perienced eye. Upon one occasion, met q
young officer who had spent several years
on the plains and in the Indian country
He was, on the occasion alluded to, in COM
mand of a detachment of cavalry in pur-
suit of party of Indians who had been
committing depredations on our frontier.
While riding at tho head of his command,
he suddenly discovered, as he thought, a
party of Indians not more than mile dis
tant. The latter seemed to be galloping to-
ward him.
The attention of his men was called to
them, and they pronounced them Indians
on horseback. The " trot'' was sounded,
and the column moved forward to the at
tack. The distance between the attacking
party and the supposed foe was rapidly di-
| minishing, the Indians appearing palmer in
view each moment.
The charge was about to be sounded,
when it was discovered that the supposed
party Of Indians consisted of the decayed
carcasses of half-a-dczen slain buffaloes,
which number had been magnifed by the
mirage, while the peculiar motion impaired
by the latter had given the appearance Of
Indians on horseback.
have seen train OF government wag-
ons, with white canvass covers, moving
through mirage, which, by elevating the
wagons to treble their height, and magnify
ing the size Of the covers, presented the ap-
pearance of a line of large sailing vessels
under full sail, while the usual appearance
of the mirage gave correct likeness of an
immense lake or sea. Sometimes the mir
age has been the cause of frigbtful suffering
ana death, BY its deceptive appearance.
