an old lady, a member of n of the
most prominent families of Guilford
village, on the Sound, who has just
been adjudged by the town authori-
ties to be insane and was sent to the
lliddletown asylum. She had dwelt
in her big home without human COM
panions for years, but her home was
fairly overrun with pet cats and "a
naries. It was not known that her
mind was unsound until q few weeks
ago, when she called at a New Haven
hotel with a small army of cats and
birds. The proprietor declined to ac-
ospt her as . guest on account Of her
pets. Then officers visited her at her
home and found in one box fifty en-
balmed cats and about . dozen pre-
served canaries, while Squads of ests
patrolled all her apartments and the
house rang with the shrM ehsttss 6
