Give her an opportunity of freeing herstdf

The extension of the road will hurt no

that *hp prosperous little city of Hood

her of Maconites wept o*’?r and enjoyed
themselvps very much. It was a novel
sight indeed to see cine hundred lunutioi
roaming about the grounds within the
enclosure of the asylum and all in high
glee. It was, inti usely interestii R to
watch thirsa uufortnnt'tos all collecte**
together around the festal board and par¬
taking of a banquet rich and sumptuous
in every respect. As one evidence of (he
quantity of food put on ’lie groaning

hundred loavts of bread and everything
else in proportion. The viands were de¬
lightfully cooked at tho immense bakery
of the asylnm. Truly, the picnic jester
