Of Rhode Island, and New York, Penn.
Sylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and the
District Of Columbia, have had and ex.

were formed partly for the purpose OF
securing this increased representation.

10 the Southern States seemed greater
than it was in point offact, for the reason
that certain Senators had been in the

One great occasion for improvement in

Savage Attack Upon a Doctor.

Shortly before noon on Monday, as Dr..
Charles e. Woodbury., first assis tant
physician ut the Mclean Insane Asy-
ium at Somervlle, Mass, together with
several of the patients, were engaged in
a game of croquet on the green ON the
northwest corner Of the main building
of the institution, one of them who was
standing close by the Doctor, was ad-
dressed by him in a casual remark in
re xard to the game. He Immediately
turned his head aside to proceed with
the game.
This patient, it appears, is suffering
from that peculiar form Of delusion
called "false hearing" and doubtless
imagined that the remark addressed to
him was insulting or injurious, and in q
moment raised the croquet mallet he had
| in his hand and struck the Doctor a Sc
we're blow OIL the top of the head, stun
ming him and causing him to fall to the
ground, where he inflicted several Other
| blows on the head and body before {
couple of employees of the institution
could secure him.
| The alarm was Immediately given
and DR.. Woodbury., who was insensible
was carried to his room in the asylum
and it was found that only the oute
table of the skull was fractured, anC
several small pieces Of bone were re
moved, when the patient regained con
sciousness. The inner partition Of tn
skull is apparently uninjured, and un
less infiamm alton sets in there is YER
strong hope OF his speedy recovery.
