Isaac Reed, one of the oldest inmates
of the State hospital at North Warren,
died on Friday last. He was sent from
this county to the institution upward Of
30 years ago. Until short time prior to
his incarceration he had been quiet,
harmless, though considerably demented
individual, and had made his home in
this community as early as 1860, or there

let the new arrivals crawl about freely
and thus get exercise, and they allow
them to keep as cool as possible in their
very light garments of bare skin.
