day evening April rd at Judge Car
ter's house. The attendance was no,
as large as usual, owing to sickness
and other causes, but the discussion Of

nformality oi the meeting. The essay
itself was suggestive and full Of thought
foroibly and clearly expressed. L. was
not intended to be theological in its

purchased or the county from Mr.
Haynes, to the asylum. The plan was

paupers a little longer and viii utilize
the room for new patients that viii be
sent here from the state insane asylnms
belonging to counties that have no
asylum. II BY the building OF other
