NE of tho things about which

rincc Edward Islanders have

’ cause for feiicitotion is the

fact that thecarc ofthe Insane of this Pro~ vinee is in good bands. It is a'geui in thc crown of our present local admin- lstratlon that they regard these, the most unfortunate of God's creatures, with a compassion and consideration that is creditable to 'hnxunnity.` Wed rt

the insane people committed toits guardi- `anshlp, A`i that can be done is done; done cheerfully and willingly, and the condi-

tions which surround the inmates of Fai- Y

The present. asylum building at Falcon-

wood was completed in the year 1870, and an extension was added ilve years ago. It now affords sufficient room to allow the superintendent to putinto practice the methods of treatment which has so far resultcdrln pmcsclnz muse gratifying

April 1868, during the second par

nf thc first session of the Dominion Par-

hi'mcnt. Howe had gone to England with the avowed object of securing the repeal ortlic union so far as Nova Scotia was

concerned and Tupper l\ad been scnt by thc Dominion Government to prevent that obicct being attained. The evening and early morning hours of the 'ith and :l|l|' April wcrc spent in the IInusa.of |1m|nnonsdl-hating a motion made by Dr. l'a|-her, an Ontario Liberal, asking for the rrmlli cfilr.

on the scaiiold, constructed a quarter of a century before, but which had not yet had a victim. Before the black cap \vas drawn he stepped tothe front of the scaffold to address the vast multitude assembled. Executions were then public and many thousands were gathered.

After the epirlemlchad become. a. thingof the past- the building was pulled down and every sign cf its existence was soon obliterated. ‘ A' curious fact-in-this connection is this: that in the year 1844 the land for the old asylum was purchased from the Govern- mont of that day from the late George Lewis, and that he was'stiil` alive when in1804 after a lapse of fifty years he bought the land back.

There is nothing now in the vicinity of the om sue to indicate that it was ond!

occupied by any asylum or to recall the melancholy associations of the moani- ful period when it was tennnud by victims of the smallpox plague.

Instead, a pleasant prospect pleases thh

eye on everyhand; and nearf the spot oh' which the “old asylum” once stood thero is new a pleasant summer cottage, which overlooks the delightful scenery and thd waters of the North River.
