what l have seen since my last letter.
We /. E. s. Il. llanen, Prof. r. d. Ross and
myself, left Buckhahnon yesterday at 2
o'clock P. NJ and after most delightful
drive through the mountains we arrived
at Weston at 8 r. NJ After stopping a
few minutes at the Bailey House we
wended our way across the river to the
hospital or Insane Asylum and although

Of the wards. To IA stranger II Is won.

Everything within the building seems
to be, and no doubt Ia, under The very
beat Of discipline and every effort that
can he made Is being made to secure the
comfort Of the inmates, All the wards
for the worst class Of patients are now
full, and II looks as though additional
buildings might be needed. II IA we'll
that our State has niNde such ample pro-
Visions for these unfortunate ones, and II
will be 10 our honor as a State 10 sec that
nothing is ever done 10 decrease the eff.

after visiting the asylum and seeing the

the citizens Of our State to visit Weston,
and above all to see the asylum and un.

Of all the patients. Weston IA a
town Of some 1000 inhabitants, and Il

QUEER IDEAS

A well known resident of Sacramento
once in a year or so goes on spree fer a
brief period and when he "sprees," he
does it thoroughly. The last time he re-
freshed himself that way he visited,
about midnight, a saloon in which there
is a wide strip of mating in front of the
bar. He was, not to put too fine a point
on it, very drunk, and while essaying to
imbibe glass of ice water, he tumbled,
rolled from the mating out upon the oil
cloth, and as the water from the glass in
his hand fell over him, he imagined that
he had fallen into a poAd, and struck out
to swim, Topping abouI upon his stomach
like becalmed turtle, till some one raised
him to an upright position. He is now
"at it again" Last evening, on Second
street, between l and J, feeling very pug
nacious, he endeavored to quarrel with
parties whom he happened to meet, but
they would not accommodate him. Pres
emily he observed his shadow, thrown by
the moon upon the fence, and, imagining
that it was man advancing to attack
him, he calculated "How dare you APP
