The Orogonidn contains an account
of one of the mute inmates of the insane
asylum, at east Portland, who sud
per says;
For years Mr.. Anderson, dumb in
mate of the asylum, has plodded along
attending TO his duties as a trusty
faithful, being unable to speak word.
He was always in readiness TO assist
the keepers in any way within his
power in cheerful and contented
manner. All efforts to bring back the
use of his vocal organs, which had
been silent for many years were in
vain, and he was told that he could
never again speak
On SUNDAY last the inmates were
given romp IN the handsome grove,
which is surrounded by high wall,
in order to sun themselves. One OF
the inmates, n rather wild individual,
imagined ne was a squirrel, and away
he went scampering up one OF the tall
fir trees to its topmost branches and
would neither return 10 solid ground
for pleadinrs or threats. As usual,
Anderson was nearat hand and volun-
teered to go mp and bring him back.
The poor unfortunates who were in
the ward were greatly pleased and
shouted and laughed ioyfuily as An
derson climbed from branch TO branch
toward the top. He had climbed about
thirty feet from the ground when a
limb broke and down came Anderson
bouncing among the branches, finally
sitting down upon the ground like the
hammer of pile driver. The ward
ems expected TO see him killed or
knocked senseless, but they were
doomed to astonishment n Anderson
sprang to his feet and burst out in
volley Of profanity, that would have
put trooper to blush. He kept up
swearing without intermission for at
least ten inmates, wl.ile everybody
stood transfxed with astonishment.
He had recovered his speech, and to-
day can talk as well as any person, and
to say that he is delighted in cooe-
quence of his fall, Is drawing it mild.
