Ho that from the 1st of December until the 80th of June, 87 persons suffered from the disease, 18 attendants and 14 patients, and from the result of which 1 attendant and 8 patients succumbed. Aside from this the general health of the housohold has been exceptionally good. During tho year a large number of patient* has been admitted very much advanced la years, and whom infirmities of ago make susceptible to in creasing feebleness aad dissolution. No sspecially new methods have been in troduced in the treatment of patients. I'hloralmid as an hypnotic has receutly been introduded, bat there must be further use end observation before It can be intelli gently recommended as a drug for the pur pose of producing sleep, yet Dr. Hanborn is favorably Impressed with its effects. The Doctor refers to the salutary effects of removing the patients to the barracks while the wards were cleansed, and to the beneficial effects upon the patients of re ligious services and secular entertainments. During the winter there will be numerous sntertaioments of i varied character pro vided. A largo number of patients were employed on the farm daring the summer season, and in the various Industrial depart ments of the institution. The building enterprises and improve ments are referred to in detail. 1‘srw and Oanltsi. The farm, nnder the immediate super vision of Mr. Cony, has been fairly pro ductive. The hay crop was above the aver age. and the yield was well harvested. The supply of oats was not up to th* average, but other crops compare favorably with other years in quantity and quality. The garden, nnder the management of Mr. A1 len, is increasing id fertility year by year. It has also been enlarged to the extent of several acres, and much labor haa been ac complished In this department, during the past autumu, iu suhsoiliiig and sen era! improvement*. The garden is becoming more and more a source of profit to the in stitution, and ita yield of potatoes this sea son was large and of excellent quality. The j garden also affords agreeable and healthy employment to a large number of the in mates. It is suggested that, as soon as the finan ces will allow, a larger ward be provided for the sick and helpless women. It will be necessruy another spring to further ren otate the wards in which the diphtheria patients were treated, sod to establish s more modern system of bath rooms and sewers. The erection of a building in the park is desirable. Some steps should be taken m furnish further facilities for the employment of such n class as would be benefltted thereby.

The New York Mail and Express relates the following pleasing incident of I)r. Mc Glynn. It seems that during one of his recent New York lectures while the doctor was delayed in hunting for a book a very young baby began to cry, at which the doctor congratulated the audience that they were not left in monotonous siUoce, but! could enjoy this “baby solo/' and then’ went ou to relate the anecdote of a New Jersey priest, who was disturbed during j service by the crying of a ch id, and. when some of the congregation wanted to put the child out. turned and said: “Don't do that, I foresee that the child shall one day become a priest,” to which the father j of the baby replied “It can't, your rev orence, for it's a girl.” The insane asylum dramatic people are v preparing the drama “Among the Break ers” for an early presentation.

Furniture is expected from Washington before long for the new pension depart men! rooms Pension Agent Clark does not expect to get settled in his new quarters much before next April. Iotereatlug Facta for Ice Man. A prominent Maine ice man has in his possession some interesting figures con cerning the open winters and the close win ters for a long series of years. He has a table of dates from 1785 to the present time showing the time of closing and opening of the Kennebec. The earliest date on which the river ever froze is November 16 On three years ice formed thus early, in 1808, 1820 and 1823. On 34 years the river closed daring the month of November, averag ing about the 20th. On nine years it did not freeze up to stay frozen until the first half of January, although short nips took place earlier, succeeded by a warm spell that carried the ice out again. In 1830-31 the river did not close to stay closed until the 11th of January. The ice went out again on the 30 of March, so that the season during which the river was closed for ves sels was 78 days in length. This is the shortest season on record with the exception of that of 1806-6 when the the ice formed on the 2nd of January and went out on March 15. The season of 1870 71 was 85 days long. The general run of seasons has been from 85 to 142 days. The Penobscot river has, since 1818. al ways frozen over in November or Decem ber. with the exception of 1830-31, when it did not close until the 9th of January. The earliest date is Nov. 17, in 1871, and in 1835 36. 1836-37 and 1837-38 the date was November 27. These dates are not intend ed to give accounts of short nips, when the river would be frozen over fora day or two and then thawed again, or for times like the present when portions only are frozen, but of actual ice from the Augusta dam clear down to Bath. The present year it will be seen is the i most open for the Kennebec with one ex ception. the river now being open to Gardi ner, although from the 3d to the Uth of December, and again from the 13th to the 21st it was frozen over further down. The state of the river is not such as to cause serious alarm amongst ice dealers as taking the record of the past as a standard, good ice car be expected until well along jnto April. On one year the ice did not go out to stay until the 9th of May. “Lucie Hiram" was a laughable success at Granite Hail last evening. The old fel low as characterized by Mr. Woodhull, was one endless fund of amusement the whole evening through to the large audience that packed even the galleries. The plot is suf ficiently complicated and takes unexpected turns that are pleasing. "The support is good and Louise Arnot is a bright feature of it. She is vivacious, graceful and ad mirably adapted to the different parts she assumes.

This resulted in a change of management, the introduction o' reforms and economies, and a financial reurg ulzatiou of the company that has met general arproval. During the progress of this reorganisation, it has been frequently suggested in the public press and by numerous and large holders of the com pany’s seen itles that it would give greater stabil ity to the reorganized company if a management committed to the successful working out of the plan of reorganization, and absolutely iu the in terest of the property, could be secured for several years. C onsulting our own inclination a*d convenience, we would prefer to leave the management of this great property to others; but we recognize the force of the suggestion and the necessity for some such arrangement, and, as many shareholders be lieve that great advantages are likely to result to the holders of all classes of the company’s securi ties from such co-operation, we have consented to act in this matter. Holders of stock of the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Ve Railroad Company may deliver their certifi cates, assigned up 'n the back in favor of George C- Magoun, Thomas Baring, Oliver W. 1‘cabody and John J.

He became deputy coroner and justice of the peace, and being the surgeon, tbe community was at his mercy.

I saw it tner\ and now my idea of tbe sea cow is clearer. It does not roam about tfcp country bellow- j ing and swallowing whole sheep; it has no hair and no horns, nor hoofs, nor angry tail.
