Insanity Of a Teacher.-We are called
on to make the painful announcement this
week, Of the terrible affection OF INSANITY
in the Principal of the Elkton Pubic
School, Mr.. Chamberlain. He was MOTTO
ed last week to act strangely. He has
wife and family residing at Havre de Grace
from which town he came to act as Prlncl-
pal of the Public School at this place,
few months ago. Mr.. Chamberlain had
been in the habit of going home to Havre
de Grace on Friday evening and returning
to Elkton on Monday morning. On. last
Friday evening lie went home as usual, but
returned to Elkton on Saturday evening,
and showed unusual reserve, and dispo-
sition averse to conversing with, Or speak
ing to any one On Monday he did not
attend the school and refused for sometime
to give up the key of the school room to
the Trustees, or reply to any questions
asked him. His strange proceedings salts
fled all who saw him that his mind was
deranged. On Tuesday, Rev. DR.. Martin,
Episcopal minister, of Havre de Grace,
who had formerly been the unfortunate
mans pastor was sent for by Rev. Mr.
Skinner, Rector of Trinity Church in this
place. And after consultation with Drs.
Tuft and Ellis, who advised his removal to
hospital, it was determined to take the
unfortunate man to an asylum in Baltl-
more, under the superintendent, we be-
lieve, Of the Episcopal Church.
After a good deal of persuasion on Tues
day night, Mr.. Martin prevailed upon
the patient to accompany him, and assisted
by Mr.. John Wilkinson, ho was taken to
the train which passes Elkton at half past
one O'Clock at night, and safely conveyed
to Baltimore, where Mr.. Martin took
charge of the unfortunate man and con
Quoted him to the hospital. He refused to
speak to any one during the proceedings
but would quietly comply with any request
after little persuasion and kind treatment
We have heard of no cause for his aberra
ton Of mind.

they came within proper distance a net
was shot around them, and a splendid haul
was made.
