THE INSANE OF NORTH CAROLINA 1 WORTHT TRim'TR TO A OHI.K WOMAN. We have received the thirty second annual report of the super intendent of tbe North Carolina Insane Asylum from wbich we gather tbe lollowing facts : The total number of admissions since the opening of the Asylum, February 22d, 1856, amouuts to 1.892.

There are now under treatment. I including those on probation, 140 males ana l-io females, mating a total of 202. The daily average daring the year was 273; the ad missions 74 and the discbarges 30. Tbe whole number treated during the rorwaa .T" 17 o f w h nm were ! sent home cured, 2 improved, 2 un improved aud 1 not iusane. The greatest Dumber under treatment at any time, including those on pro bation, was on the 20th of Novem ber, 18S7, aad amounted to 2U2. Tbe smallest number was on the 1st of December 1880, the begin ning ot the year, and amounted to 248. The supennteudent says: "Ber haps the most remarkable coinci dent connected with our good for tune during the last year has been the email number ot deaths, only i Q Thia ia Udd than 11 1-icr ntitt of; . .. , j.

Dix, who died daring ' the year, and who for more than a half century worked unceasingly for the amelioration of the condi tion of the unfortunate insane. He 8iy: Iu her half century of unparalleled labors, she glided like an angel of mercy through the dark portals of the prisons and penitentiaries and poor bouses of almost every State from the Atlantic to the trans Mississippi. She labored with the zeal of the martyr and rbe inspira- j "F.i- , tlUU UI LUC I'l UIIUC ICO!!, UULI1 PUC; saw the asylums for tbe insane of more than thirty States brought into existence aa the fruit largely of her labors. Nor did she ever cease to watch over their progress with motherly solicitude until the weight ot well nigh ninety winters brought her to the end of her mighty task. JSor were her labors confined alone to her own country. She even crossed thejocean, into foreign lands, to repeat the story of a crusade, at once more daring in its inception and effective in its results than any enrolled in tbe annals of time. Tho beautiful story of her visit to Scotland, the investigations of the sufferings of thrir insane, the want of sympathy of the repre sentatives of the Crowo, her conse- quent visit to tbe Premier of Eng-j lcl""i ol-t" .ceuia in Scotland, his summons ol the jjoru juieuieuauii to uis pre.seuue and the apology he was compelled to make together with the rec ognition by Parliament of her great , (- services, tne concluding aciuress oi ; dm lilCLUtrat UI lUrj 11UUOC UI AHUfl Hi f biijo nrAril fnti'ir ti VI i- I Aril j 1 i'u ".vo, ..i. -uj uui.i.-.. j to our great mortification and hu-, mihation the sufferings of a part ol : the dependent clashes of this em- i pire have been brought to our notice , by a foreigner ! and this foreigner jan AmertcuD ! and this American a woman! and this woman a dissen- ter!" all this constitutes an epi- isode perhaps unparalleled in history. ; Her vuut to other parts ol Europe, especially to Rome, and her in- flueuce with tbe Pope in the erec tion of a hospital for the insane, was no less successful. TAw Institution is one of those that form the coronet of her glory. ! After the lapse of nearly forty years ! since her efforts amongour patriotic statesmen of North Carolina at that day were crowned with success, tkit Aaylnm remains to do its ap pointed work, and over her death eouch to cherish its obligations, nnder the providence of Ood, to forr, and Its veneration for her memory.

The greart corporations of this country, sustained by special legis lation, have been ever since the late war continually making inroads upon the farmers and laborers. All the granges, with other similar orders demand is equal rights, as was guaranteed to all American citizens in ears gone by. The mortgage System is wrong and against the interest of the far mers, fostering and encouraging monopolies. The high interest charged by our banking institutions and moneyed men are unjust and usurious, and in concert with the Farmers' Asso ciation we solicit the attention ol the next legislature to that fact aud pray to them to pass a ngid usury law and reduce the rate of interest on all debts to six per cent. Pronouncing the mortgage and lien system grievous to labor, we do maintain that something should be done to remedy it as much as possible.

The completion of the Hatch law by Congress gives to tbe State ex periment station, located iu this city, an aunual revenue of 15,000 fto.n the United State! government, commencing October, 1SS7. This will be a great relief to the Depart merit, of Agriculture, of which the station is a sub department, and which has hitherto been maintained from the funds arising to tbe State by the sale of fertilizer license. It will certainly do away with the vex atious prooiem wuicn raxeu iue tu - genuity of the Board of Agriculture propnation from the government, and the amount ol the department's money heretofore expended in that I direction may be devoted to carry ing on other much needed work, which has been partially suspended on account of stringency of funds, The officers of the depart ment were vesterdav engagea in preparing tne j si. 00; Owen Respass. 1.00; .1.
