A Dangerous Lunatic.

Superintendent Clark, of the county asylum, has instituted proceedings to have George Hellengreen sent to an insane asylum, where he properly belongs. He is a dangerous man and if kept at the county asylum, and allowed to have any liberty at all is likely to kill someone at any time. His latest out-break occurred some days ago, when he attacked Mary Downing, an elderly inmate, and beat her very severely over the head and face. Since then he has been kept looked up in the poor farm calabgobe. Hellen green is about 20 years old and has been at the county farm four or five years.
