An emphatic denial is given in Russian official

Thanksgiving at the Insane Hospital was spent
much in the usual way. The bosrders was served
with their usual Thanksgiving dinner, consisting
of some 600 pounds of turkey and chicken with
other good things" TO match.
The evening party was largely attended, al
though the company of visltol was less than last
account of the storm. However, near
300 were present, 225 of whom, at least, were
patients. The festivities were much Is on other
similar occasions. There was the usual atten-
ton to dress at other times, not more marked
however or, save in few instances, less fantastic
than would be seen in such an assembly in any
place. The contrast of mental conditions was
marked as usual, 10 the quiet demesnor of many
and the extravsgant demonstrations of others 10
the quiet gazer the scene presented its sad and
mirthiul SIDE, such contrasts in life everywhere
show. The officers and attendants of the insti-
tuition actively participated in all the plays and
games, and the good superintendent and his
worthy wife, with his assistants, and even the
sober char lain. could be seen running here and
there in the games Of Copenhagen" "Goose,

the evening instrumental and vocal, which added
greatly TO the enjoyment of the hour. The usual
treat" consisting of cake, nuts, candles and
fruit, furnished by the steward, to the great
Satisfaction of the company. Over 800 "plites'
were prepared, and nearly every one WAS taken.
After this few hymns were sung, as "America,
"Auld Lang Syne," &C., then the "Doxoogy,'
and little past o'clock, the patients returned to
their rooms, and the Thanksgiving party of 1877
over.
