The hoard of managers Of the Spring
Grove insane Asylum, Gainesville, met at
that institution few days ago and received
Medical Superintendent Richard Gundry's an
nual report concerning the condition of the
asylum. DR.. Grundry reported in the insti-
tuition at present 424 patients, the whole num-
Der under treatment during the year being
52s. There were discharged n and 30 died
during the year. The Treasurer's repor,
showed that the year closed without debt
remaining upon the hospital. The manage
ment is much embarrassed owing to the neg
lect Of the counties to pay the subsidy annual
" due for patients sent tAsfs. The sum
owing from the II counties and Baltimore
city amounts to S24, 1862 IS. DR.. Grundry
strongly advised the separation of the white
from the colored patients.
This county has many patients at this in
stitution, for which it has to pay $3.50 EACH
per annum. In consequence of mismanage-
n,ent a large. SUN was due the Institsss3o1 At
one time, but 1t has been boiled down Of late
to mere pittance.

The severe wind Ga the lower Potomac
following the clearing Of the ice has its effect
upon the fish, and Monday afternoon near
Lower Cedar Point more than thirty barrels
Of white perch were secured. The fish, the
fishermen SAY, come to the surface to get the
benefit Of the sun. but the cold wind stunned
them and rendered them helpless and they
we're blown ashore 1t was along the shore
that they were caught, The steamer Wake
field carried them to Washington city.
-Four years ago an instance almost similar to
this occurred down the river. \ pungy of
oysters was on its way up the river, when the
captain noticed a bright spot in the water
ahead Of him, and to his surprise he found it
to he a school of white perch lie had a crab
net on the boat which he used to pick up a
barrel or two Of the fish and could have picked
up more had he thought them Of any special
value, but thinking they would sell at price
that would not pay him for II. aalay he left
the fish, more than satisfied with what he had
caught, When he reached Washington city
he was agreeably surprised to learn that his
fish were worth IS cents bunch. Several
small nets have been used in the river STAGE
the ice disappeared, and good number Of
yellow perch we're caught. Catfish and cells,
which have usually been among the first fish
caught, are scarce and what few are being
caught bling good prices Enquirer.
