pression upon thu minds of tlw committee.
Please present this note to the committee. I
will , of course , bo entirely satisfied witn any

the commission of Insanity. For some time
p.ist Aycrs lias been developing i-uccr pro-
penalties , among them the Imbit of slipping
from the house after dark ami going through
the mnnurl of anus bare-footed In tlio snow.
On Wednesday last Mrs. Aycrs , becoming
alntmcdnt his notions , appealed to 1 tyro n
Dunn , their ricurcst neighbor. Dunn pur-
Minded Ayers to accompany him to town
Wednesday forenoon , und while ho was in
consultation with Dr. Howard concerning
the case , his charge managed to slip out of
sight. Mr. Dunn ut ouco notlllod the mar
shal and a search was Instituted. Mean
while Ayers In wandering about town
happened Into the opera house , In which the
members of n traveling theatrical company
were rehearsing , and making his way to the
stage he sle/ed u property sword lying at
h.md and began n series oC most extraordin
ary evolutions , greatly to the consternation
of the nctors. Finishing his drill he an
nounced n rope walking exhibition , and be
gan clambering up the light II lea nt the side
of the stage. Ayers is a large , heavy niiin ,
but in some unaccountable manner ho man
aged to climb up the frail frame of light
boards and canvass. Ho had no sooner
perched upon the top of the Jly , However ,
than it gave way beneath his bulk and he
was precipitated with considerable violence
to the stage. At this junction the marshal
arrived and took him in custody. The cala
boose being the only available place in which
to detain him , ho was kept there Wednesday
night , well guarded and with every attention
possible paid to his comfort. Ho made the
night lively and unpleasant for his guards by
various gymnastic antics. At ono time ho In-
slstod ujxm removing all his npparol , and
having carefully turned it wrong side out to
put it on again , the undergarments on the
outsldt * . It wns found that ho could not bo
tried Thursday , so Mr. Dunn took him homo
again , returning with him to town
this morning. This is the. third
attack of insanity the unfortunate man
has suffered. During a former ono ho came
near killing his mother , and , apprehending n
return of his malady , he instructed his wife
to nt once hand him over to the authorities
should symptoms of it appear. When thirty
years old ho received an injury to the skull
and the of tropanniK
operation was over-
formed , The medical opinion is that n portion
tion of the skull presses against the brain
and is the cause of the aberration. The suf
ferer is highly esteemed hcto and much com
miseration for his unfortunate condition is
expressed. '

day there is tlvo to one against him. It
limy ho that ho only lost because of u

only played ono race a day and watched
the rot. I've put a bet down when the

and put ns high as * . " > .000 on that. An

that luck is always going to turn. If I
