Heard that she remained there three days afterwards before she returned to Chi- cago, to which place she took her son. Dr. McFarland said the most excesatve dill- gence and care would not prevent the intro- Guetion of vermin im an asylum. They creep into an institution unsuspected and undis- covered. His rule is that all patients shall be bathed twice a week, and when suspected of having vermin on them they are carefally Inspected. a that there shpuld be large farms attached to every asylum, so as te get the dairy products. Several years ago the practice was to require no patients todo out-Joor work unless they desi to do It, but of jate the practice bas changed. Open air labor Is the very best agency of heaith; itis better than checkers, or billiard play- ing, or book reading. When patients are physically well enough they should be in- duced to do some work, not only as recuper- ative for the body. but as a mental stimu- Jant. An acre of land for every patient in an asylum ts not too much. By Judge Boone:--Took charge of the Jack sonviile asylum in June, i855. Was relieved voluntarily. There was no difficulty be- tween the trustees and himself. Was not re- juested or forced to resign. Retired in 1870. }o not recollect whether young Van Kewan Was received as an indigent or pay patient. The lowest rate is #150 per week, and few are chargeg more than #5 per week at the state asylum. Incurable patients were not received unless for special reasons. This witness was cross-examined at great length in regard to his reasons for turning out the patient Van Kewan from the state asyirm, and also in regard to his ideas of the management of an insane asylum. He thought that 60 per cent. of all male patients should be required to work at manual labor. Do not think that they should be forced to Work in the hot sunorrain. Dr. McFarland admitted that he was charged with abusing patients; that they were covered with ver- min, &e., In 1566, and thet he was investi- | gated, and that the report of the committee on his case and management was condemna- | tory. The committee reported that the charges were sustained. v. Oglesby set the charges aside, and continued him in charge of the asylum. He remained there until 1870, when he resigned. The investiga- tion of the asylum was made by a committee appointed by the Illinois legislature. he committee then adjourned until to- morrow mornirg. =) Se Tue Fire DEPARTMENT.—The Board of Fire Commissioners met last night; present, Messrs, Morgan, (president,) Reed, (secre- tary,) Tait, on, Thomas, and Collins; | Chief Eogineer Cronin and Assistant Eogi- neer Drew.

Whelan, 113 West Biddle street, which, or vestigation, were found to come from’ the eeping chamber of Miss Emily Whelan, a young lady 22 years of age, who had been Bavagely attacked and nearly Killed by 2 | negro man with an axe. The assailant is | fied as John Brown, colored, brother of | Harriet Brown, who has been a cook in the fomily for about two years. Tue man was | from ‘Frederick, Md., and bad frequently come about the bouse to see his sister. Mrs. Whelan paid him for cleaning out the cellar on Tuesday, aud then ordered him away, having become annoyed at his presence. She also admonished the cook on the same sub- ject. It is supposed the man, actuated by motives of revenge, armed himself with an axe from the cellar, and intended to kill Mrs. Whelan instead of her daughter, but finding the mother’s door locked eatered the daughter's room adjoining, on the second floor, which was open and tue light burning. Nothing was stolen and there were no evi- denees of inter tion to rob, thongh the police think tbat plunder was part of the object of the desyerado. Miss Whelan says she was lying on her eft side sleeping when the negro man entered her chamber without makivg any noise to arouse her. Two blows were dealt the de fenseless youvg woman, who has been in fail health for the past year. Oneof the blows from the axe cope away a piece of the bone on the right side of the forehead a little above the ear. Theother blow was im- mediately uncer the first, as though the two bad been given in quick succession, before the victim could change her position. The skull was fractured and the a ‘les severed, Which caused @ profuse flow of blood and aroused the sleeper. Miss Whelan said she did not feel the blows, and must have been paruly stunned. Her hair had into crimps and which, it ie supposed, deadenea one of the blows, and and ‘a bait part, and hock in; and a a] presen iz sight. The scalp above the —_ ear was torn away, but stitched. It is not thought by the physicians that the wounds are necessarily fatal, may be danger of inflammation.
