Longview Insane Asy Am. q State institution,
located at Carthage, nesr this city, had special
meeting yesterday, when Mr. Andrew Mullane,
one of their number, made a charge thst DR..
Miller the superintendent of the institution hsd
recently established g room in the building for
the purpose Of dissecting the bodies OF tie IN
mates who died there while under treatment.
His statement was further substaItiatsd by the
story of sn assistant. named Dougher!y. who
says that the bodies of four or Eve patients, who
died this summer, were thus disposed of, and af-
Ter they had got through with them the assh
and other portions no. used, we're shot through
pipes into sewer, and from thence into pond
in the neighbo:hood. Hitherto the patients dy.
ing there have been given decent burial at the

sensation in the board of trustees Miller, the
superintendent, has been in the asylum only
sbou. Three months.

On the 18th of July, 1859, Alexandria
reached its first decade, a thriving town. About
this time its authorities engaged 10 movement
that, at first apparently 40 unofficial enterprise
for public purpose, grew in the end to be a
municipal matter. 1t was thought desirable
to erect a Jew house in the market square for
public purposes and in order to secure the
requisite money, as the trustees had no power
Of taxation, lottery was resorted 10. The
trustees made Themselves responsible for tickets
at 10 shiIlings each, and about 5000 was guar.
antecd in this way. The details of the scheme
have not come down to u.s. but in order to carry
it cut il seems not only legislative, but popular
support was needed. The salo of the tickets
perhaps required pushing" and opportuai.

trustees settled the towns account, in 1880,
before yielding the government of the town to
the Mayor and Conmonalty, and then Messrs'
