Thrilling Adventure Of a Iunat;c.

At Mount Pleasant, Iowa, on Thurs.
lay morning, as the Insane Asylum
painter was going to work, he noticed
. man on the roof Of the asylum.
Surprising by his actions that the man
was insane, he gave the alarm, and
he, with three attendants, proceeded
10 the roof. The insane man had
found rope belonging to the painter
and thinking by it's help to escape, he
let it drop over the edge of the roof.
Finding it was too short to come any
where near the ground, he gave it up.
When he saw the men after him he
bounded over the roof, and, seeing
that he was likely to be caught, swung
over the cornice and got under it, SO
they could not reach him. After
carefully climbing down several feet,
he caught hold Of stone cornice
projecting out about an inch, and
there he hung, forty feet from the
ground. The men on the roof, seeing
The danger he was in, called to those
below to throw out beds. This was
quickly done, and after the ground
was covered with several feet of bed
ding, he dropped, receivingno injury

a WONDERFUL PLANT.

In an address delivered before the
British Association for the advance
ment Of Science, DR.. Hooker exhibited
a wonderful plant called Dionian. A
Liverpool paper in an account Of it,
says: "a fly was captured and put
upon leaf, which instantly closed
and on reopening,.it was found that
the fly was completely dissolved. A
bit of beef was atterward consumed
in the same way. The leaf was then
fed with cheese, which disagreed with
it horribly, and eventually killed it.
DR.. Hooker explained that the plants
action was precisely similar to that OF
the human stomach. The leaf re-
jected piece Of wet chalk.

OF the middling classes, whose occupation encour-

their influence as to restrict public expenditures
