At the recent meeting of the

Asylum for the Insane, DR.. Bland.
report submitted shows that The
whole number Of patients under
treatment during the past six
months was 764; the highest mum
Der at any time, 6O5; and the low,
est number, GU; daily average,
6sl;cOst per capita per week, 81, 1871
The Doctors report is lengthy and
gives a very full and satisfactory
reportof the workings Of the Insti,
tuition and It's wants. He calls The
attention Of the Board to the crow,
ded condition Of the Asylum and
the absolute necessity Of more room
to accommodate the insane Of the
State. de recommends as the
cheapest and best mode Of securing
more room, TO raise the one story
wings on the southern end two
stories higher, and add one story Ia
the two story wing on the north
ern end. This addition would ac
commOdate 1870 more patients
which would be ample room fol

The death Of Mrs. Mary Morris
sister Of Gov Blackburn, will cause
a pang Of sorrow in the breasts Of
hundreds Of Confederate soldiers
that she befriended during theil
incarceration at Camp Douglas
She not only spent a large fortune
in ameliorating their hardships
but suffered greatly herself during
her imprisonment as a rebel sym,
pathizer. She was a woman o.
great strength of character, and Of
fine accomplishments.
She bad passed her 65Lh birth.
day, and her long life was filled
with continued and earnest work
as a devoted humanitarian. She
married Judge Morris, who had
gone 10 Kentucky from Chicago
and was the first man to engage in
the practice Of law in that place
and was also the first Mayor of that
city. He became one Of the lead
ing men in the State, amassed q
large fortune, and was at one time
Judge Of the Supreme Court of Iii.
nuis.
Mrs. Morris was warmly South.
ern in her sentiments during the
war, and scarcely had Camp Doug
las, near Chicago, been converted
into a plison for captured Confed,
crates, before she manifested her
devotion in the most practical
manner, visiting the prison and
carrying creature comforts to the
prisoners. Her residence in Chi
cago was the rallying point and
hiding place for those who made
their escape, and she provided
them with suitable clothing and
gave them means To return South,
She was frequently restrained BY
official orders from visiting the
prison, but continued TO imp0rLune
the commander with such snccess
that the orders were revoked, and
she was as regularly at the gate as
the sentinel. AT her house the no
ted Captain Thomas Hines, the
present Chief Justice Of Kentucky,
was hidden an entire day between
bed mattresses, with detectives
searching every nook and corner oil
the place for him. When Captain
Hines associates, in the attempt
to liberate the Confederate prison.
ers, were captured, Mrs. Morris and
her husband were arrested as ac
complies and imprisoned for four
months under the vigorous prison
rule, during which time the health
Of both was greatly impaired and
thelr fortune swept away.
They were never arraigned for
trial, but il cost them over $4,000
to obtain a release, and in order Ia
raise the money 100000 worth Of
property had to be sacrificed. AZ.
ter the death Of her husband, which
occurred about FIVE years ago, Mrs.
Morris returned to Kentucky to re.
side with her brothers. During
the term Of her brother, Governor
Blackburn, Mrs. Morris and Mrs.
Governor Blackburn established
Sunday Schools in the penitontia.
ry and accomplished much good in
recalling many convicts back To
the path of moral rectitude.
