structure known as Spring Grove Insane Asylum.
Like all such institutions, n these days of our ex
element, II has It's full quota of the mind lost in
all the various stages Of the dread disease There
was once n select club Of wealthy young gentle.
;nen, who. for reasons best known 20 their fami-
lies, accepted home in this asylum and spent
their time In enjoying the romantic scenery Of the
neighborhood In daily walks. unless briefly in
disposed, and in associating 90 u limited extent
with some Of the compassionately disposed dam-
sells Of the neighbOrhood. These fashionably
dressed gents gave 10 the strangers eye quite an
air Of Importance 10 the village. however amusing
they may have been 90 the cogniEant thoughts Of
the natives. or this class, now removed 10 \ more
private and elegant residence near by, the viii
layers could make no complaint; but when the
more fantastic representatives Of the asylum In
wade the sacred precincts Of homes by day or
night. usurp the owners tight Of possession, aud
by their weird behavior create terror among ladies
and children. We think We can modestiy protest
against the lax safeguards bestowed by the asylum
management for their retention. Near residents
10 the asylum are sufficiently annoyed By their
vocerousness but when TO this lie added the terror
Of their presence at unexpected moments, II Is =
little too much. A high picket fence should en-
close such portions Of the asylum grounds these
unfoTtunates are allowed 10 roam In, unless unre-

but we are not aware, however, that such 10 the
case, and believe that such free blows are indica-
tive rather Of careless ease for the management
than Of benefit for the patient. We prefer 10 have,

wherein We can cross 10 them but not they 20 Us.
