pally to the male sex, but this year it has
| shifted in measure to the female. We
have had prepared for them, and also for
patients that could not be kept in bed,
a number of cribs, neatly made OF stained
pine, the Idsand sides being covered with
meshes Of woven curtain cord or with wo-
ven wire. They form neat and attractive
| articles of furniture, and there is nothing
oppressive or repulsive in them. They are
the least Objectionable mode OF restraint
that | have seen.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Instltu-
tons has been worked to its full capacity,
the Superintendent reports 347 rejected ap-
plications in both Asylums. and renews his
appeal for ampler accommodations. Among
Their things he recommends greater ccono-
my in the transportation of patients.
The report concludes with the following
well merited recognition of the valuable
services rendered by the Assistants at the
Asylum:
By the blessings OF mercful God, no
change has taken place in our corps OF as
sistant officers. The friends Of our inmates
may have the comfort of rejecting that their
afflicted ones are under the care of two skill
iul anu experienced physicians, VINO nave
devo ted their lives to their profession, and
that they are watched over by our matron,
Mrs. Tinsley, as by mother. The Stew
ard, Mr.. S. A. Hoshour, in addition to his
other duties, has superintendent the making
of brick for the new building, and their de
livery to the contractors. He has, by his
foresight and good management, kept us
|ibountifully supplied with the very best pro-
visions that this market affords, purchased
for cash at the most reasonable rates. Being
pre-eminently a practical man, and having
the interest of the Asylum always at heart,
his services during the past year and his
suggestions from time to time have been es-
pecially valuable and fully appreciated. |
feel also chat our thanks are due to our en-
gineer, Mr.. NJ. Dineen, for his skilf1l
manag ement and supervision Of the impcaA
tant work that belongs to his departnaeatss
And to our other employees We are indebt-
cd for the faithful performance OF their sdu-
ties.

DR.. H. n. ARNOLD, the popular actor
and singer, holds forth in the Town Hall on
Thursday evening Nov. 20, 1877. He is here
preparatory to his Southern trip, having
crossed the mountains driving, his own car
rage is independent Of cars. He proposes
to drive through to Richmond and ship for
Florida. The Doctors specialtes are Read
ings, Recitation, Singer, Organist' Violinist,
Guitarist, Flutist, Harmonist, and who in
development Of the voice controls six octaves,
introduces the specialties of opera, senti-
mental, Simple Simon, Prima bona, Old
Man, Old Woman, Dutch, and Irish. This
is what the Brownsville Clipper says of the
octor:
AS previously announced, DIR. II. Fl. Ar
mold gave an entertainment in the School
Hall, this place, on three evenings of last
week-Thursday, Friday and Saturday-the
last by urgent request. 1t was indeed rare
treat-one not often afforded, and those who
failed to hear the Doctor certainly missed a
great deal of first class enjoyment. The
Doctors speciality is his wonderful vocal cul-
ture. We have never witnessed more re-
markable exhibition of the power of the hui
man voice. The other features of his enter
tainment were of the highest order, also SUI
perior elocution, singularly perfect facial
representations, and in charactizations not
surpassable. We have not space to partcu-
larizc, nor need we; the exhibition asw truly
first class in all its appointments. The Doc
tor left on Monday for Unlontown, where
he will probably remain for several days.
We bespeak for him everywhere the courtesy
due gentleman, and patronage common
surate with the excellence of his entertain
ment.

which he can bale hay very rapidly. He is
