the old chapel is very Objectionable because
of its obstructing so much of the view to the
occupants of the male wings of the Hospital.
We would recommend that the old chapel be
removed to some suitable location snd put in
proper condition for the care of the criminal
insane, in case q new building is not erected
for that purpose. We find that the Hospital
is under the necessity of providing for the
help, rooms in the attic, which from their To-
cation we believe TO be unsuitable for their
use. We recommend that room be made for
the help by elongsting the chapel building
in the direction of the center, not only for
providing suitable sleeping rooms for the
help, but also for the purpose of enlarging
the chapel which has become too small for
the increased number of the inmates.
We have examined very many needful i'm
provements which have been made during
the year. among which may be mentioned the
construction of new and improved parlors,
dining rooms, bath rooms and water closets.
We have also noticed very desirable improve
ments made III the heating apparatus of the
institution. The death rate At the Hospital
has been very much decreased, notw withstand-
ing the daily average of patients has been
very much increased. We believe that the
general good health which has prevailed here
has been promoted to a great extent by the
Improvements made the past few years in the
ventilation and drainage which have unques-
tionably placed the institution under excel
lent sanitary conditions.
We state in conclusion that We are pleased
with the excellent management of the af.
fairs of the hospital, and We assured that
trustees, superintendent and other officers
fully realize the varied needs of the institu-
tiou and are laboring with commendable zeal
for its prosperity and for the greatest COM
fort OF the inmates.
In no condition in life is man more de.
pendent and in need of protection than when
the mind is wrecked and reason dethroned.
How wretched is their condition! How in
spired and dead TO such are all the varied
attractions and beauties of life and nature
Who can measure their pain and sorrow and
the anxiety of kindred and friends From
the noblest considerations let us never fail to
protect these unfortunate beings in our Hos
pital with the greatest care and vigilance
Let us continue to extend and amply to them
patience, kindness and the most approved
medical treatment, to the end that we may
thereby. not only lessen the solicitude of
their friends and relatives, but to these un-
fortunstes themselves, bring the greatest
amount of comfort and happiness of which
their condition is susceptible.

II will be remembered that Mr.. Knowlton

without costs, 1t being evident that he was
not guilty of any violation OF the Law. Mr..

past fifteen years as an enthusiastic tom
perance worker and the bitter enemy Of rum
sellers and drinkers everywhere, not a few
violstors of the Law having been indicted BY
his instigations. Having made many enemies

What True Merit WI Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and efectusl cure of coughs, colds. and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condi-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills ard long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince YOU Of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price
75 cents, large bottles.

Augusta, Dec. 27. 1886.
Another of our great leaders has fallen.
The Great Leveller has chosen to muster out
a comrade, who, thrice called to the chief
command, as true friend OF the veteran
Union soldier stood alone peerless among
men.
General John A. Logan, Post Commander
in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.
died at his residence, Washington, ID. c.,
December 26, 1886,
To every comrade of the Grand Army, to
every Union veteran the announcement of
his death comes as personal bereavement.
In such an hour, eulogy fails, language can
not express the emotions of the heart, our
greet loss cannot be painted, only felt. Since
Lincoln died, comrades, we have had no one
in the national councils more true to our in
terests, no one whose loss came so close to
the heart of every soldier.
The deepest sympathy for Mrs. Logan will
be extended by every comrade and veteran,
who will mourn With her, silently, it may be,
but no less deeply and sincerely.
Posts will drspe their halls, and comrades
will wear the usual badge of mourning for
the period of sixty DAYS.
Colors will be displayed at half mast until
and on the day of the funeral.

A HEAVY STORM.
A Serious Drawback to Telegraphic Com.
municatiol in England.

New YORK, Dec. a..
cable despatch says: The snow storm
in England appears to have done an unprece-
dented amount of damage to telegraph wires.
The London Daily News says: Telegraph
wires in this city last night were swapping
with alarming rapidly in Fleet street. The
policemen curled the broken ends around
lamp posts A train on the Midland line was
delayed over an hour BY the falling of tels-
graph wires across the track. A large num-
Der of telegraph and telephone wires fell last
evening over q metropolitan area. Th e
weather was very severe at Reading yester
day, the snow which fell in the afternoon be-
ing the heaviest experienced in years, whilst
the wind blew a hurricane, causing consider
able damage to roofs of houses. 1t seems
probable that the wires between Bristol and
London will not be restored for two or
three days. The wires in other directions
have suffered greatly as far as can be ascer-
tnned."

The whole city was startled at IL this even

the entire FIRE department to the upper mills
of the Pacific corporation. In the east side of
the print room on the fret floor, FIRE had
been discovered and instead of attempting TO
extinguish it with the mill force the alarm
was sounded. This proved to be wise step
and after a fight of a quarter of an hour the
flames were extinguished. The workmen
had been repairing the main belt and just
after trying to start up the flames were seen
issuing from the box. The cause 10 unknown n

What 10 a cold in the head2 Medical su-
thorities say it is due to atmospheric germs,
uneven clothing Of the body, rapid cooling
when in perspiration, &c. The important
point is, that cold in the head is genuine
rhinitis, an inflammation Of the lining men,
brsne Of the nose, which, when unchecked, is
certain to produce a catarrhal condition--for
catarrh is essentially "cold" which nature
is no longer able to ''resolve" or throw off.
Ely's Cream Balm has proved its superiority,
and sufferers from cold in the head should
resort to it before that common ailment be-
comes seated and ends In obstinate catarrh.
