of the "Star Spangled Banner" besides
large sums to several benevolent societies
in San Francisco. Subsequently becoming
dissatisfied with the manner in which he
had disposed of bis wealth, he recalled his
act of 1874 and made new assignment of
his property. Since the last change in the
trustees of his charitable fund, the de-
ceased had repeatedly expressed himself
better satisfied with the condition of affairs.
He has, however, manifested considerable
concern at hearing nothing from his son,
John Lick of Fredericksburg,t to whom both
letters and dispatches had been sent re-
quosiing his resignation as one of the trus-
tees. AL the rest of the old beard have
rendered their designations, though their
action has not yet been confirmed by the
court The trustees are of opinion that
the business is now in such shape that no
complications can ensue in carrying out
Mr.. Lick's charitable designs, though there
is some fear expressed that the action of
his son implies an intention of contesting
the matter in the courts. The total
value of the trutt fund is estimated at about
five millions of dollars. Mr.. Lick has been
gradually sinking for several days, death
resulting from old age.

The Vermont Insane Asylum Over
hauled.

The biennial report of DR.. II. II. At
water of Burlington, commissioner of the
insane, which ha, been made to the state
auditor, and will be by him submitted to
the legislature, Is 4 terrible indictment Of
the insane asylum at Brattleboro. The f.
nancal history and condition of the insii-
tuition is first overhauled. The state fur
nshed large proportion of the capital for
starting il, and has contributed largely for
its support and today, while the institu-
ton has on immcnse accumulation of pro-
fits, the state has nothing but dearly
bought experieucer. 1t appears, so the re-
port states, that unsuspecting legislatures
have been hoodwinked by reports of trus-
tees of the asylum and of commissioners
of the insane, and that the state has been
practically swindled for years. The most
crushing part of the report, however, is that
which shows the statistics of recoveries
and deaths. 1t appears that during the
first two years of the existence Of the in
stitution, the per cent of recoverics was
30. Go, and that during the last two years
it has been only sos, or that there were
