delegates shook their heads and could not

BURNING OF AN INSANE ASYLUM
The Beaufort Lunatic Asylum, near Que
bee, Canada, was destroyed by fire on the
night of the 18th ult.. eight patients losing
their lives. One Of the saved lunatics
killed her sister while they were standing
out in the yard. A telegram says:
The fire is supposed to have originated in
one of the cells occupied by vicious char
acter named Mary Breton. Her conduct
had been very violent, and she has been
confined in cell, and she vowed to have
her revenge. She is supposed to have kim
died a fire by placing a candle underneath
bed. and shut the door. She suffered a
terrible fate, having persisted in the flames.
The utmost efforts were made to subdue
the flames, but they were unsuccessful,
owing to the large quantity of woodwork
The sight was pitiful in the extreme, some
of the lunatics escaping into corners, and
obstinately refusing to be removed. Oshers
fled down the corridors to The darkest eel
lars, and were found shivering with fear,
and others ran into the cupola, and it was
only with the greatest difficulty they could
be brought out. News of the catastrophe
rapidly spread to the city, and thousands
went to the scene. Four hundred and
thirty-fVe women were rescued and trans
ferred to the mems wing, and only eight
have as yet been known to have persisted.
The loss will be great to the Province, as
this was about the only asylum Of much
magnitude and completeness in this sec
ton. 1t is strange to say that the worst
case in the female ward entirely recovered
her reason in the panic, and is as sane as
