Rockland, Me-, 2l. The Grand Lodge Of
Good Templars began its sixteenth semi-an-
nual session in this city to-day. Owing to
the storm of last night the attendance is not
so large as it would otherwise have been.
About one hundred delegates are present, and
among the prominent members of the Order
in attendance, are Gov. Perham, Hon. Joshua
Nye, F. E. Shaw, Esq, G. w. c. T. and
Others The report of the Grand Worthy
Secretary, shows the present number of
Lodges to be one hundred eighty-five, with a
membership of fourteen thousand two hun
dred and six, which exhibits slight egain
upon the last report. The number of Lodges
is somewhat less than at the date of the last
annual session. The spirit of the delegates
indicates active work, and the session will
close with public meeting tomorrow even

PORTLAND.

Portland, Me-, 81. The gale at the cast
ward Monday was very severe. A United
States Coast Survey steamer and a large
coasting schooner dragged from their moor
ings at Castne, and the former smashed into
the wharf, and the latter went ashore. The
steamer Lewiston was obliged to put into
Castine, but arrived here safely tonight. 1t
is feared many disasters occurred, as there
were many lumber laden schooners along the
coast. On the Ogdensburg railroad above
Conway, several culverts we're washed away,
and it will require two or three days to repair
damages. On the Eastern road travel is also
stopped above Conway owing to washouts.

New Hospital for the Insane.

For several years the necessity has been
felt of either charging the present hospital
for the Insane in this State, or erecting a new
building for the accommodation of this unfer-
tunate class of our fellow citizens. The hos
pital has been really crowded for years, and
the cry is 'stiN they come and it is hard to
turn away the poor creatures from the care
and custody of such benefcent institution.
The last legislature took single step look
ing to relief in the direction indicated. AT the
last session, the legislature passed the follow
ing preamble and resolve:
"Whereas, the Insane Hospital is now full,
and has from time to time been enlarged, I'M
til no further enlargement thereof is feasible,
and hence the State is now called upon to en-
ter upon the work Of building another Insane
Hospital; therefore,
"Resolved, That the Governor with the ad-
wise of the Council, appoint three commission
ers, whose duty it shall be to solicit proposals
from cities, towns or individuals as an in
ducemeut to the location of said Hospital.
The Governor appointed as Commissioners
VIM. z. Whitehouse, Esq, of Augusta, Hon.
n. G. Hichborn of Stockton, and Josiah u.
Cpburn of Lewiston. Acting upon the spirit
and intention of the resolution, the Commits
sioners had a meeting soon after their appoint
ment, and advertised extensively for propos-
ais from cities, towns and individuals, who
were disposed to offer inducements looking to
the location of the proposed new hospital
These proposals were open until the last day
of September.
The Commissioners have failed TO receive 8
single proposal, which shows either grea
lack of interest in the matter, or that the PEG
pie have no definite idea of the legislative re-
solve. One town indeed (Bluehill) has voted
to donate one hundred acres to the project
should the hospital be established there; ant
the people of Topsham have talked the mat
ter over; but the Commissioners have learned
this only from the newspapers, and have hat
no official notification of the action of eithe

FKOM NEW YORk.

New York, 81. A Washington despatch
says that the Secretary of the Treasury will
doubtless release the uncut diamonds recent
ly seized on the person of N. Lancaster, on
the ground that they were seized without the
authority of law, and there will be only a
technical forfeiture of cut stones, which
amounts to only $500. The uncut stones are
valued at $4,000.

town. So with really nothing before them on
which to act, the Commissioners have taken
pains to make inquiries in regard to the man
agement of the institutions for the insane in
other States, and to inform themselves on all
matters pertaining to the subject-in some
cases personally investigating several sys-
tens, among them the cottage system At
the next meeting of the Commissioners the
character of their report TO the legislature
will be determined upon. A location will be
recommended and an architect employed to
submit plan for building, We have no
doubt from the character of the gentlemen
composing the commission that their report
will reflect the most advanced ideas upon the
subject. OF course we have no right or au-
thority to speak for the Commissioners, but
are well satisfied that they will recognize the
advantages of having the institutions for the
insane under one general management, and
will favor the erection of the proposed new
building upon the present hospital grounds
in this city.
