 T. ;s now seven years since the Retreat was established: there have. in the course of that lime. been admitted 298 patients. Many of thpse. for wears deprived of reason, have re- ceived no common benefit from the Institution. They have been kept from harm; while the'r fr;ends and relatives have been spared from anxieties which exceed all others; and neigh h,rhoods which formerly suffered from the wayward propensities of the insane, nave been relieved from depredNtiOns to which they were once exposed. Ofthis number of old cases, 3l have been restored to reason.- Had they remained as formerly, in their own dwellings, restrained by force or watched with solicitude both heart rending and hope less. it is not unreasonable to suppose that one. fourth part of them would have been re- stored to reason. During the last seven years 147 recent cases of insanity have been admit ted: of which number 1SS. being more tG an nine tenths, have been restored to reason. :,

 The Directors of the retreat have adopted the following resolutions and ordered the same to be published:

 Resolved, That the Managers of the Retreat be authorized to admit indisent lunatics' be" ing inhabitants of the State. whose disease has not exceeded three months, at two d"i- lars per week: Provided the number of such persons in the institution, shall at no time ex- ceed the number of ten. And provided a!so' that no individual shall remain in the institu' tion upon the said terms, over three months

 Resolved, That before any indigent lunatic shall receive the benefit os this charity, cer' tiicate shall be lodged with the Managers signed by Magistrate ofthe town in when said Iunatic resides, stating, that from the eV' idence he has in his possession, he IS Ot oP'n' ion that said indigent lunatic does not own property to the amount of one hundred do', iars---and that his disease has not exceeded l the period of three months. ,a

 Ssff;sr SSsfsr wheel nv drunken man. was ov.rss Q

 in spite of every exertion made to prevent it The boat contained two men, a woman. ant four children. all of whom were cast upon tho waters, without boat or plank to keep then from sinking. Capt: Sherman promptly man ned his small boats and went to the relief Q the sufferers, six of whom were most fortu nately rescued. The persons saved were float ing upon the water few rods from each Ofh. CT, and considerable distance from the steam boat. One of the children sunk just before the small boat reached it. A hand instantly dove after, brought up, and saved it. One of the men was dangerously injured by tht wheel, and the other slightly. A little child two months 0lc. was lost. It was supposed to have sunk immediately. The woman wal not hurt. They were returning from visi to sick woman on the east side of the river whose infant, which was lost, they were ta' king home with them.

 An OM Man.-there lives a man in the north part of the town of Fairfield, whose age was 1O3 on the 10th inst. His mental faculties still retain their vigor and he is in. teresting in every respect. In modern times it is extraordinary to view a man who has seen the changes of a century-the rise and fall of empires-and in particular, the infancy and maturity Ofthe United States. He pos- sesses pacific disposition. easy in his man ners, accommodating to his friends, gentle and affectionate in his department. afable christian in principle and by precept, devout in the service of his maker, attached tO the bcau- ties of Holy Writ. making the first and great commandment of our Saviour his rule of life. He has ever been temperate, living retired life industrious, and dilgent, and faithful, iN what he undertook, to a prOverb. The lOv- CTS of novelty would be delighted with an in- terview with such an ancient one. His name is Abel Hmbbell, and he resides with his grandson of the same name.-Bridge. Times.
