THE Board of Trustees of the Athens
Insane Asylum in this State, recently ap'
pointed a Doctor Wilson, of Indiana, as
Superintendent of that institution. The
thing is up in the Legislature, and there
is a rumpus about it. The question is
is it legal? Is it decent and right toward
the medical men of Ohio? This Doctor
Wilson formerly lived at Athens, but fol
six years has been away and is a citizen
Of Indiana.

An interesting public meeting was

days since, when medals were presen-

Government to twenty-five men, the
survivors of the crews of the LiyerpooI

on the 9th of September, 1875. gal

had taken all the persons from the
wrecked ship, and was going back to

he, to capsize. The master and his
wife, four of the crew of the Ellen
Southland, and three of the life-boat
men were drowned, but the rest were
taken on board the New Brighton boat.
The gallantry of the men was the sub

at the time, and General Fairchild,
United States Consul at that port, for.

which aroused similar feelings in that
country. The delay which has oc-

bravery and humanity of the life.boat
men, was owing to the fact that our
laws did not permi. Government med
ais to be presented to persons of other
countries, and special act of Congress
abrogating this enactment had to be
obtained. Upon the passing of this it
was unanimously decided to present
the crews of the life boats with gold
medals Of the irst-class in the Life
saving Department, accompanied by
letters of thanks, while to the families
of the three men drowned the sum of
5000 in gold was voted. Mr.. Edward
Whitley, Deputy Mayor, presided at
the meeting in Liverpool, and made
the presentation to the twenty-five
men, who appeared in person. Two
gallant fellows had died since the oc-
casion, and the medals intended for
them were handed in one case to the
widow, and in the other case to the
son. Great enthusiasm prevailed.
General Faircbild, in responding to
resolution expressive of satisfaction
and gratitude at the thoughtful and
cordial action of the American Gov
ernment, was warmly applauded.

ment.
Since the decision to postpone the
meeting of Congress, it has also been
decided to make all intended changes
in our diplomatic representatives at
once, taking the chance Of their contir-
nation when the Senate meets.
When it was supposed Congress
would meet in June it was proposed to
delay action until the reassembling;
but that date is now so distant it is
believed the country's interests can be
best subseryed by prompt action.
The number included in the band
surrendered by Crazy Horse was about
1900 in all; peni.s nearly $500.
This capture is regarded here as a
severe blow to Sitting Bull, and it is
thought the hostiIes can make but
little effectual resistance.
The latest intelligence from Europe
is interpreted here to mean the early
participation of both Austria and Great
Britain in the momentous struggle
now going on between the Turk and
Russian; and their Intervention can
hardly fail to provoke like action on
the part of other powers.
