The Insane Hospital.

The Visiting Committee of the State Insane
Hospital report to the Governor and Conncil
that during the past year they have made it
the leading feature of their duty to ascertain
if the inmates of the hospital are humanely
treated. With this end in view their visits
have been made at irregular hours and unex-
pected times, unaccompanied by officials and
attendants except at their own eequest They
have heard complaints, but on investigation it
has generally been found that they we've not
founded on fact Whenever i. has zen found
that longer detention would not bs likely to
benefit a paten. they have recommended his
discharge, and such recon- mendstion has b,en
oheerfully complied with. The committee
found the officers and attendants faithful and
efficient The supply of water has bsen insult
ficient owing to the drouth of the summer and
fall The clothing of the patients is generally
as good as their condition will allow, though in
some instances an improvement might be mads
in washing and ironing. The food has been
found sufficient and wholesome, though the
promiscuous coming together of all classes at
meal time is much to be regretted and demon
strates forcibly the need of better classified
ton. The sick rooms are unfavorably located
and change is recommended. The commit
tee conclude their report with the following
recommendations:
1st. That new bathrooms be supplied for
the private halls, and that the existing bath
rooms be separated from the water closets, and
these latter provided with modern improve
ments.
"a That better classification of patients
be attempted, and that the violent ones be re.
moved to the east hall from their present CEN
trail location.
Sd. That an additional engineer be employed
during the winter months.
4th That more sick rooms be provided and
in place better adapted to such purposes.
9TH That more amusement and some light
occupation be furnished in the halls.
9th. That larger opportunities be- afforded
for out-of-ioor exercises, aud to that end that
another and better carriage, pair OF horses
and On An be employed.
7th. That some systematic effort be made
for a more general diffusion of knowledge of
insanity, its causes, prevention and treatment.

Interesting TO shipowners.

The House Committee on Claims has just
considered matter of muck iinterest to ship
owners. The case arose on the petition of
Oliver Moses of Bath, owner of the ship James
A. Wright, for relief. The James A. Wright
was wrecked on the west coast of the Hebrides
Nov. II, 1877. The crew were left destitute
with no means to enable them to return home.
Capt. Morrison, the master, furnished them
means and the American consul at Glasgow
refused to reimburse him, saying that he had
no funds. Upon application at the Treasury
department, the Fifth Auditor refused on the
ground that he had no authority to do so. The
committee are of the opinion that the right of
Mr.. Moses to reimbursement clearly falls with
in the spirit If not the letter of the law provid-
ing relief for destitute seamen of the United
States (sec. 4577 Rev. Stats.) and therefore re-
port back the bill, with the recommendation
that it do pass.
