merry laughter ringing out on the frosty
air filled with sweet confusion the hearts

who spinned by in a round-backed double.

sleigh was pressed into service, from the
ancient. “pung” of the Idays’of our forc-
fathers, to the curlycued, two story, up-
bolstered, frescoed, dazzling dude sleigh
of the period. Eveiy thoroughfare was
alive with swift, gliding sleighs, and
“ Pudding Larm" especially was continu-
ally crowded. Thus the first and prob.
ably the last good sleighing of the para-

By invitation of the directors of the
hospital for the insane at Middletown,
over two hundred members of the legis-

going by a special train, after the adjourn-
ment of the House of RepresentatiVes.
Arriving at the hospital the , visitors were
cordially welcomed by Drs. Show and
Olmstead, their assistants and several of
the directors of the hospital. Abountiful
repeat was spread in one of the large
- c 1rriders in the main building and nearly
three hundred persons were served. After
luncheon the, legislative party was taken
on a tour of inspection by the officers of
the hospital. The several buildings were
visited and the legislators must have been
favorably impressed with the humane
manner in which the state cares for lire
insane. The establishment. now has 900
inmates~decreased from last year, but
still more than enough for the present
accommodations. The Connecticut hos-
pital for the poor insane is regarded as
one of the best of such institutions in the
country.
