The Tewksbury Almshouse.

Monday dispatch from Boston says -
Gov Butler las sent out an order summariy
ousting the state board Of trustees of the
Tewksburv Almshouse, and has directed the
state board Of health to assume all the powers
and duties of the board. He requests the
board Of health to appoint some officer to take
charge of the Tewksbury buildings, and states
that the name of Frank W. Sanborn would be
acceptable to him. He also requests that an
inventory of all the state property at the aims
house be taken as Il precaution, should an ac
ton upon the bond of the superintendent be-
come necessary. The Governor says the
families Of the various officials are furnished
with their entire living at the almshouse con-
trary to law, and he notified the board of
health that in future he intends to put the
responsibility Of the conduct of the almshOuse
upon them.
The state board of health and charities re-
fused, by Il vote Of 6 to l, to take immediate
charge of the Tewksbury almshouse, and voted
to ask the opinion of the Supreme Court as to
whether the word may in the statute is
obligatory or not; that is, whether they may
or must take charge of it.
At the investigation oday, DR.. +. G. West
testified that while student he went to
Tewksbury to see hospital practice. He as
sisted DR.. Lathrop in an ACCOMPLISHMENT case,
in which DR.. Lathrop was guilty, in his opn-
ion, of the worst kind of malpractice.
Gov. Butler read from the records of the
trustees of the almshouse to confirm the tes-
timony of Dr. West, to the effect that there
were no suitable instruments for use in a
midwifery case except a rat-tail lie and q
screWdriver.

Gently tested some grains from 100 ears of
corn, and the result showed that little of it
was fit for planting, as it would not sprout.
Corn was late in maturing last year, and it
would be well, before complaining season
begins, for farmers to get box, fill it with
earth, place it where it will be protected from
cold winds, and plant in it some of their seed
corn to see if it will terminate.

When victor's wreaths and monarch's gems shall

A Shrewd Detective.

The arrest of Charles A. Bassett, of New
comerstown, Ohio, for robbing the United
States Express Company's Office some time
since, turns out to have been a shrewd piece
of detective work The express package
robbed was a pasteboard box, and from the
marks it was evident that the thief had held
the edge of the box with his teeth while I'M
tying the string around it. This led to the
belief that the robber had but one arm. The
detective Immediately suspected Bassett, who
had but one arm. BY a cute trick he induced
Bassett to bite upon a piece Of beeswax, to
show the impression made by his teeth. The
detective employed a dentist to make plaster
cast OF the impression, and this, when COM
pared with the marks upon the pastehoard
box, was found to correspond exactly. Bas
sett was Immediately taken into custody. and
he is in prison awaiting trial.
