" My dear sir, it is quite impossible to move you. You have had a very severe fall, and must be kept quite quiet, we have telegraphed particulars to Mr. Arteman. You can not be moved." This was decisive, and the doctor left the berth. Yet, as soon as his back was turned, Bertie made an effort to rise. With difficulty he repressed a scream; the pain was acute. He at once perceived that movement, even in bed, was out of the question at present, so wisely he determined to await events. His thoughts naturally dwelt upon the happy vision he had seen, and he foolishly accepted this as an omen favorable to his ultimate happiness. At length he fell asleep.

HWMir'MCKIKfl CASE.

i tkier.i Within the last week an event has occurrcd bedro a lwral tribunal in this city that should arrest tlm public atteu1 Commission of Lunacy was ordered by ju,lgo Hradv, of the Supremo Court, to j inquire into herca.se, and in accordance therewith Mio was brought before throe Commissioners' Mr. W in. C. Tranlmj gn, i)r. Kdward llradley, and Mr. Win. ' a . Seaver and the lirst nanol of the . SherilPs Jury, who, alter testimony, ' were to decide us to her present sanity or insanity. To establish her insanity came her brother and sisters, the thvHsMstnnt physician, and matron the present time, prospect of her recovery. two other prominent physicians of this city, who visited the asylum since those proceedings were itiitituted, also testified to hor mental unsoundness. This made the case of thu brother and sisters against Miss Dickie, and it was supposed it would be conclusive. The other side of the matter now beran to : 1... .!. .!... ..I iw nallixi- in Idv'i1iii. it. self. The Commissioners left tho bench j andstepped to tho side of the courtroom ; where Miss Dickie sat, and after some private conversation with her, resolved to place her on the stand (to which she manifested neither reluctance or embarrassment), and permit her to testify in her own Itehalf. At this lime, be it remembered, sho had no counsel. Tho Commissioners interrogated her on a variety of subjects calculated to test her memory, alio was questioned as to ner childhood: her liietorv, studies and i companions at school ; her family; names and ages of her brother and the sis ters; the location of sereral buildings belonging to her father, aud the value ! of his estate ; her early religious associations and pastor; her occupation later in life, etc., etc. Several of the Jury also interrogated her, and to a great variety of questions, but impromptu and without consultation, her answers were prompt, coherent, clear and : accurate. The case was then adjourned. Judge Brady, on being informed of the facts, at once acted on the suggestion ithat the matter was one demanding 'thorough investigation, and author- , iml Mr. L. L. Delafield to act as her , counsel in the subsequent pro"oeedings and look after hor interests. .Seven or eight sessions of the commission followed. Mr. Delafield succeeded in tindinir several of Mm Dickie's former school-fellows anil fe male acquaintances, who testitieu in tne most unqualified manner that from childhood to the present they had had frequent intercourse with her, and that she never gave to them the slightest indications of insanity. Meanwhile, lr. Delafield caused her mental powers to be thoroughly tested by experts who had made insanity a subject of special studv and investigation. Accordingly she was carefully and thoroughly ex- ' ammed by Doctors wm. A. iinnimonu, I McrcditirClymer, and .1. W. Kanncy, ; who united in testifying that IXIiss Dickie was of perfectly sound inind, and outrht not to be confined in tho . asvlum another moment. In this conI elusion the Commissioners and the Jury unanimously concurred, and a verdict to that eftect was rendered on Saturday, the lth inst. The only wonde is that constant confinement and :is n'mtion for six years hud not Iongngo utterly shattered her intellect and made her a raving maniac. MiH Dickie, by her father's i will, is entitled to one-sixth of the income of his estate, valued at ,9O,0u0. The property now produces a not revenue of about $42,000, so that her income will be between 7,000 and ,(XK) per annum. The result, somewhat unexpectt- I . t .tt. . 1 1 r . ia ittl. ed. of this illVOStiiraUon, SllOWS HOW 1111 ; poru.nL it is that proceedings taken to declare persons lunatics, to incarcerate ! them in asylums with the intent to keep I them there witout possibility of escape, 1 and sometimes for the most iniquitous 'purposes, should be subjected to very searching investigation, and tho rights of those poor creatures carefully and conscientiously looked after.
