Owintr to the fact that the mental, moral and physical qualities are disturbed in various proportions in these children it is impossible to classify them for in struction as strictly as other children.

and Mrs. L. B. .1. Wishard has been engaged as matron, and Mrs. Sallie J. Lewis and Miss Carrie Wickes as teach ers. admission or I'UriLS. The law on tho subject is as follows: There fclmll be received into the Asylum weak minded children between tho aires of seven and 18 years, whose admission may be applied for as follows, subject to such rules and regulations as the board of trustees may adopt, as to their capa bility ot improvement: 1. lty the father or mother, or by either or them, if tue other be dead or adjudged Insane. J. JJy the guardian duly appointed. 3. In all other coses, by the board ofl county commissioners of the county in which such child resides. It shall be the duty of such board of county commissioners to make such an plication for any such child that has noj living sane parent or guardian in this! State. The form of application for admission into tho Asvluiu shall be such as thej board of trustees shall prescribe, and each ttpnlicHtiou shall be accompanied bv answers, tindur oath, to such interroga-l tones a; the trustees shall, by rule, re quire to be propounded. I '1 he law limits the scone and nnrnose of this Asylum to such children as prove "their capability ot improvement." The admission will be confined cxtdu lively to feebletpinded children, such as aro hardly distinguishable from ordinary children, and yet through some sluhtlci default in functional action of tho brain or other ncrv tisne, in their mental ex predion and uioi-il traits, areuupericct jsoiiiu slight bodily deformity.

Those admitted are under the law divided into three yrados. 1. Those whose expenses are paid in full bv the applicant. 2. Those whofO expenses are paid in imrt by the applicant. 3. Those who are supported entirely by the btate. Tho law makes it tho duty of parents; and sftiardiatis to support children ad mlttcd, if they are able to do so, and such ability to support, or whether the apph cant is able to pay only a portion, and the balance to be made up by the State, or whether the applicant is too poor toj furnish any of the support, shall be determined bv'the board of couutv commis sioners of the count v where such child resides, when tho applicants come before! the board. A Portsmouth, X. II., paper says Dr. St. Gilbert, of this city, has had the

curiosity to copy from the vital recordsJbody passes oft" through the skin?

of our city the ages of 1,000 people who died in Portsmouth between low and 187(1. We are surprised aa he was, both at the numerous deaths of children, be lug 269 under five vcars, and eu more under 10; and also at the large number who reached 70 or over, being 22. Thcro were 269 live years orundor:66 between Ave and 10 ; 62 between 10 and 30; lC6hclwoen90 and 30; M from 30 to 40; 00, 40 tofiO; 76, 60 to oo: 97, oo to. 70; 101. 70 to 80; 61. 80 to 90, and 13 above uo and n to 96, but none quite up to a century. The above data give asi the average of the 1,000 persons 39 years we believe, rather roughly reckoned.
