INSANITY, it seems to us, is alarm
ingly on the increase, without, 50 far
as we can see, any rational cause. The
Pioneer Press Of the Odd inst, in a
telegraphic item from st. Peter, gives
the following as a case in point, of a
widely known man, named J. w.
BabcOck, of KasOta:
On Wednesday he went to New
Ulm, and in the evening when he
went to the train to come home he
imagined that there was q man at
each end of the train waiting to kill
him. He went back to New Ulm and
hired carriage to take him through
to MankatO. The carriage got about
half way to Mankato when Mr.. Bah
cock jumped out and ran into the
woods. The driver returned to New
Ulm and telegraphed to Kasota that
Mr.. b. had jumped out of the carriage.
Mr.. Babcock says he ran into the
brush so that he would have better
chance to protect himself from his
imaginary wOuld-be murtlerers. He
got into MankatO about III o'clock at
night and hired rig to take him to
KasOta. Mr.. BabcOck is one of the
oldest settlers in the State. He
located in st. Paul in l847 and re-
manned there in the freighting bust.

sofa and started sawmill. OF late
he has been doing an immense bust.

He is good business man, and even

tiers intelligently. He is simply in
sane on the one subject, that some
one wants to kill him. He has many
and friends throughout
the country who will regret to learn
of his unfortunate condition.

That President Garfield is making

continues to he the gratifying assur-
ance giving out daily by his physi-
clans. Although he passed so poor
Il day on July "a, as to cause alarm ut
the White House and from thence

ephemeral after it became known that
a new abscess had formed several
inches below the original wound
and that the discharge from the old
wound had measurably subsidized. The
consulting physicians promptly open
ell this new abscess, which discharged
freely healthy pus, which gave re-
lief to the President and he has since
continued to gain new strength daily,

solid and nourishlng food. We
