THE REMOVAL OF THE SUPERINTEN-
DENT OF THE EASTERN LUNATIC AsY-
LpM.-The removal OF DR.. Brewer, the
able and experienced superintendent OF
the Eastern Lunatic Asylum, seems to be
attracting attention and discussion in the
State. The Richmond correspondent OF
the Petersburg "News'' says:
A correspondent of the dispatch.
writing from Williamsburg, denies that
the new policy inaugurated by the recent
ly appointed Board of Directors OF the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum, will save the
State much, if anything. 1t seems that
the board propose to make the pay OF Or.

practice in a Lunatic Asylum, $500 more
than they paid DIR. Brewer, an expert, a
man of spOtleSs character. great POPULARITY
and unusual administrative abilities. The
displacement CT DR.. Brewer was regarded
rs uncalled for and unfortunate by every
body in Richmond. The board owe 1t to
the people to report without delay to the
Governor their reasons for OuSting a faith
full officer from place where, upon his
skill and experience, depended the we'll
being of so many untOrtunates. AS to DR..
Black, though few of our citizens know
him. the reputation he bears satisfies us
that he is a good man and able Doctor.
No antagOnism to him enters into the con-
sideration of this question.
THE IMBoDEN-JoIINsoNA AFT AIR.-Mr.
Franklin Stearns, who was near at the
Imboden-Johrson fight in Richmond, has
been Interviewed by the Richmond report

Col. Cabell, who did, told him "lmboden

A Shocking Anair-Delibcrate Death Il

Poisoning.
A painful occurrence took place at Richmond
on Monday morning last, resulting in the death OF
Mrs. D. Annie Hall, wife of James M. Hall of
that town.
Mrs. Hall and her daughter, Mrs. Smith, were
engaged in their morning household duties as us
ual, when Mrs. Hall went into an adjoining room,
arranged her toilet with great care, and changed
her dress preparatory, as Mrs. Smith supposed, to
60 out, as she had that morning told Mr. Hall she
would call at his place OF business at ten O'Clock
for the purpose of having him accompany her in
the making of some purchases. When she came
out of the room she said, "Josie, have done a
dreadful deed; have taken dose of strychnine !;
l shall not be with you when you sit down to din
ner." A swift messenger was sent for her hus-

Fnrmingdale Locals.

Since the graphic accounts of spelling at Angus
ia and Halowell came out, we shall not feel so
bad if we miss word or two down here. When
such simple words upset many wise ones up
river we have concluded to watch and see how
the Gardiner folks make out next Friday, and then
try what we do here. SO Farmingdalc will
be next in order for spelling match.
Several teams from the logging region, passe ed
through this town, en-roue down river, last week.
They had their 81 DIS and filings wheels, and
looked as though they had seen service. Moul-
tons CT Pittston went by Saturday night.
The ice has got thoroughly demoralized, and
moved from the head of b. owns Island boom down
to the Knickerbockers, where it remains fast As
far as kimball's Wharf. From Gardiner bridge
the river is clear to Rolling Dam brook
We would like to enquire through your column 3
of the officers of the NJ. c. Railroad, if they could
not do without blowing their whistles on their
trains, while passing through Farmipgda,e. For
most of the way their road lies close to the coun
~ road, in many places within very few feet OF
it. This thoroughfare is the direct road from
Richmond through Gardiner, Farmingdale and
Hallowell to Augusta, and is one of the most
crowded in the State. There are so many places
where trains come Unexpectedly on the passer by
from behind and before, that strange horse
would not be worth much if he not thorough
ly scared. We see it every day. And many a
team becomes nnmanageable from fright at the
scream of the whistle. Those who know the ropes
look out for some ones yard TO get into, and wait
till the expected train goes by. We have talked
this over here great deal, and think il the rail
road folks could do without the whistle, in the
dangerous places, it would save much trouble, and
perhaps somebody's lite.-Perhsps the law re-
quires this, but is there no way to get over it,
The riyermens house boats that have been in
winter quarters at the Farmingdale ship yard are
being renovated, and put in nice shape for the
summers cruising. Quite number of river crafts
haul up here, more than a dozen being now ready
for business as soon as the ice leaves the river.
