immediate circle there was an incom-
pAiIbilIty Of disposition. xhich made the
position If the household and father 80
uncomfortable that he went abroad and
remained year or two. leaving his
wife and son In possession OF spacious
house, richly furnished. He returned
home, but lis absence had not smoothed
the rough places AID he went abroad
again. After a long correspondence
with mutual friends for the purpose of
harmonizing matters il possible Cap
tain Holm came back, but soon found
that he could not live in peace with his
family, and he made arrangements to
leave the country forever. He made q
will, in which he provided well for his
family, effected an insurance on his
life, payable to his wife in case he
should die before her, and was in the
Office of Mr.. E. s. Converse, whom he
had named as one of the executors of
his will, preparing certain schedules of
his property, when his son entered and
requested his father to go over to his
Office and talk over some matters con-
nected with the firm of Faulkner, Holm
+ Co., OF which the son is o member,
and whose notes to the amount of Sl6,-
600 were held by Captain Holm. The
latter intended to start for New York
that evening, and left his papers un-
signed, remarking that he would be
back in short time. The examination
of Captain Holm by the two physicians
upon whose certificates he has been in
carcerated appears to have been alto
gether superficial.
Alarmed at his sudden disappear
ance diligent search was made for him
by his friends, and on Thursday noon
it was ascertained that he was in the
asylum, and since that time every pos.
sible step has been taken to secure his
release, which has not yet been effected.
The motive which has prompted this
parties in committing Captain Holm to
an asylum is stated to be a desire to &c.
cure the breaking of his will or the con-
troll of his property. Captain Holm
friends are firm in the belief that he is
perfectly sane man, and that he is
abundantly able to take care of himself
and his property.-Journal, Boston.
