ASYLUM SUPERVISORS REPORT.

Through the courtesy of Hon. Homer
Goodhue, chairman of the board, We have
received an advance copy OF the biennial
report of the supervisors Of the insane
The report opens with a suitable recogni-
ton Of 1.-THE great and sad event Of the
year the death Of DR.. Draper, and a
tribute to his high standing as a specialist
and an asylum manager. The same gen
eral system of discipline and management
are continued Al the Vermont Asylum
under Dr. Lawton, who succeeded Dr..
Draper in the SUPPLEMENTARY, and the
present excellent condition Of the insttu-
ton is appreciatiyely mentioned. The
board has uniformly found the new state
asylum at Waterbury ''in good order and
the patients apparently well cared for.
The only criticism made is that, by the
removal of too large a number of patients
from Brattleboro in its beginning, the
institution was over crowded for the first
six months; but this mistake has been
partially corrected by the conditional dis
charge of harmless patients. Numerous
improvements have been made at DR.. j..
NJ. Clarke's Lake View Retreat at Bur
lington. This institution seems to be
doing a good work, and in the opinion Of
the board, lis entitled to the confidence of
the community as a suitable place for a
few quiet patients who have the means of
paying for extra accommodations.

An Indianian Threatened with Lynching for Shooting His Mother and
 Sister.

BURLINGTON, To-, June 24.--- August Grutz, of this city, yester- , day cut his wife's throat, shot his mother-in-law and then cut his own throat. His wife left him couple of days ago because of his brutality. He grasped her head and pushed a revolver into her mouth, but before he could pull the trigger she knocked the weapon from his hand. He seized her again and drew a razor. Despite her struggles he began slashing at her throat. She warded off the blows with her left arm until the flesh was terribly mutilated. He at last reached her neck, and made long but not very deep cut from one ear to the other, and the unfortunate woman sank to the ground with blood flowing from the ghastly wounds.
 Grutz drew the razor across his own throat, inficting a terrible gash. Grutz and his wife and moth er-in-law are still alive, but the hus- band and wife are in critical con dition.

 "Steak all right, sahi" he asked.
 "I haven't tasted it yet replied the patron coldly.
 The waiter said, "All right, sah, :" and nov d to the other side of the table. When the steak had been tried he ventured:
 "Rare enough, sah7"
 ''It will do," was the reply.
 There was another pause, and then the waiter asked:
 "Potatoes cooked right, sahf"
 The patron beckoned to him to come nearer.
 "When 1 came in here," he said, "I supposed everything would be all right.
 "Yes, sah. "
 'I took it for granted, and or dered on that theory"
 "Of cou'se sah."
 "And if there is anything wrong, 1 might say confdentially that there is an excellent way to find it out.
 "Yes, sah."
 "Yes; you just keep within ear shot and say nothing, and if there is anything wrong I'll talk. l can do it. And that tip"
 "Yes, sah.
 "You needn't keep working for it. 1 don't need to be reminded that you're the man who waited on me. never can forget a noisy waiter, and l always remember q still one"
