The Brattlebora Insane Asylum.

The Joint Committee Of the present Leg
islature, on the Insane Asylum, have, as
their report elsewhere printed shows, reach
ed the same main conclusion that has been
previously reached by intelligent and I'M
prejudiced committees, commissions and
commissioners on the same subject. They
believe that the interests of the unfortunate
class for whom such asylums must he pro-
ylded, and OF the public which is bound 10
care for them, demand that the existing
anomalous and irresponsible arrangement
between the State and the Brattleboro Asy-
lum be terminated; and that hereafter the
State should care for its insane paupcrs in
an institution of its own.
The composition Of the committee
adds weight to its judgment in this
matter; for il comprises medical skill
and experience, as well as much sound
practical sense, in the persons Of its
members We do not need To rccapiiu!a'e
the facts and Suggestions oi their rrroIt.
The committee are disposed to dr ample
justice to the BfattlcburO instit:.lun auI Us
officers but they cannot overlook the TACT
that it is overcrowdcd with patients, that the
attendance is Insufficient and that the facil-
tiles for out of door work and recreation art
insufficient. Above all they see, As every
fair minded and unprcjudiccd person mrsi
see, that it is moi for the public interest that
insane persons supported by the stat. shpn'd
be placed wholly beyond State control The
asylum is u quasi State institution. Il Is
called the Vermont Asylum, aud the State
of Vermont Is held responsible for it and is
blamed for its defects Yet the asylHm j. as
completely beyond the control of the Legs
lature and government OF Vermont Is il II
was in a foreign country. This condition OF
things, as We have often had occasion 10 say
before, is not creditaLle to the State soon
er or later it will have 10 he Terminated, and
the sooner the better. We comnleud the -
port to the careful attention of cur lesi-!I-
tors and of the public

President Orton's Lecture.

The people of st. Clairsyille had the
privilege last Friday evening of listen
ing to a very excellent lecture by Prof.
E. 0rton. Presidentsof Ohio University,
Columbus. The subject, Geology and
Water Supply" was presented in very
clear and practical manner. The lee
turer first reviewed the general geOlog-
ical features of Ohio, and then showed
how the geology affected the quality of
water supply. He next spoke of the eff
fects on our physical natures, of the
different mineral substances found in
natural water. And lastly he pointed
out clearly the great danger there is in
the near proximity of well and sewer, as
is often the case about our homes. To
this cause is to be ascribed various epi-
denies. The Prof. understands his sub
ject and has the happy faculty of making
others understand and see it from his
standpoint. We hope he will visit US
again soon with another lecture.

DARING BURGLARY. = On Tuesday
night daring case OF burglary took
place at the residence of. Judge Vim.
Kennon, in this place. An entrance
was effected by raising one of the lower
front windows, of which the shutter had
been insecurely fastened, after which the
light-ingered gentlemen proceeded up
stairs to the room occupied by Major W.
S. Kennon, where they secured his
clothes, which they took just outside the
door of the room and proceeded to empty
the pockets, securing gold watch valued
at S175, set of pearl studs and his
pocket-book containing $54 in money.
The watch taken is very unique one
of French manufacture, keeping cor
rectly the time of two different points In
the world, and is very complicated in its
mechanism and is supposed to be the
only one of the kind in this part of the
country. Mr.. Kennon heard the burg
lars while at their work, but supposing
some of the family were up and about,
paid no attention to them. When leav-
ing, the robbers unlocked the front door
and left the empty pocket-boOk ON the
window, through which an entrance
was effected. The burglary was the
more daring from the fact that the moon
made the night almost as light as day.
There are several individuals about this
town whose actions are not above sus-
picien, and should close watch be put
upon their movements, we have no
doubt these frequent robberies would be
stopped by the capture of the perpetra-
tors; and in the meanwhile every man
should resolve himself into vigilance
committee for the protection of his own
property and give them warm recep-
tion, at the first opportunity. t
