Taken To-The Asylum.

Henry Brockway, who has been in the care of the county farm for nearly two years past, has been growing more decidedly deranged for some time past, has been accepted at Longoliff asylum; and was taken to that institution today bj* Frank Hardy. Brockway was in the asylum some years ago, and discharged. A year ago last January. After quite a trial in the circuit Court, before a jury, he was again adjudged insane, and a guardian appointed. Since that time he has been at the poor farm. His case is probably hopeless. He formerly lived in Keener or Wheatfield townships and owned a little land there. He is unmarried "and about 28 or 29 years old.
