FARIBAULT, Jan. 2l-The committee
appointed by the present legislature to
visit and inspect the different State insti-
tutions located here visited the city this
morning. The first place visited was the
deaf and dumb asylum, which was found
to be in good order and the scholars in
good condition. The latter were on dress
parade, they being called upon to do
sums on the blackboard, to read, write
and spell and in more ways than few to
show the result of their learning TO the
"heavy men" of the State. Besides learn
ing to read and write the scholars are
taught some useful trade, such as tailor
ing, making boots and shoes,
coopering and the art of sticking
type" Prof. Noyes and his teachers do
all in their power to make scholars
life while in the institution pleasant
one, and judging from the happy faces
one sees, their efforts are not lost.
The blind asylum, Prof. Dow principal,
located about three-quarters of mile
south of the deaf and dumb, was next
visited. 1t has twenty-five pupils, who
are taught how to make baskets, etc,
but the most wonderful results yet at
tanned is at the asylum for the feeble
minded. Here last summer, when
number of inmates were brought from st.

grab up their meat and other eatables in
their hands, and cram it in their mouths
