That was an extravagant and ob noxious one; the present one is less obiec- tionable, although wo cannot butopposo tho borrowing by tho Stale of money for any purpose savo mat ol carrying out tho legit imate operations of government, liy this bill the lesponsibilily of supporting the in sane poor still remains on the guardians and overseers of the poor who may send them to tho State Asylum. The Slate is required to obtain a loan, say $40,000 in January, 1812. $10,000 in January, 1843, and $40, 000 in January 1844, at an interest of G per eent, the interest on tho loan, say $7, 200 to be refunded to tho State Treasury semi-annually out of the income of tho Asy lum of the ability to do which there is thought to be no doubt because of the 2000 insane persons in the Commonwealth by the lato census, 1200 arc paupers and 300 of these will be sent to the Aayium and will produce an annual income at 82 CO per week of 839,000. It is presumed that the Asylum will be constantly filled with recent and readily curable cases of insanity. Doubtless many applicants m-iy bo refused for want of room out of the present popula tion of 1200 and thoao who will become insane hereafter; should, however, there be room at any lime tho trustees will admit citizens who arc not paupers for reasonablo compensation and thus extend tho benefits of the institution. The experience of the manageis of the many State Asylums is, that of recent cases of insanity, say of 9 to 12 months standing 85 per cent, are restored to reason in three months after admission, while of old cases of two years standing, only 10 per cent, are cured. It is judged that before the State will bo tcquircd to pay any part of the loan, many hundreds of our insane poor will re alize the benefits of this noblo and charitable institution by tho recovery of their reason, and a return to be the solace and support of their families. BsszacsanssEEH The Inaugural Address. Tho Nation al Intelligencer, ilio official of the new ad ministration, thus chaiaclcriscs tho inaugu ral : " Washington's Inaugural may have been more stately; Jkitchsun's more philo sophic; Madison's more terse; each in uni son with the character of tho writer's mind. General Harrison's Address might have re sembled either of these models inoro than it does; but, if it had done so, it would nut have been his oiun. Nor, unless wo whol ly mistake tho popular tasto and feeling, would it have been half as acceptable to tho great body of the President's constitu ents as in its present shape." Most true"! If ine document had been either " stalely" or " philosophic," or "terse" that Intelligencer might have ad ded, if it had been respectable either in mat ter or stylo, it would not have been Gener al Harrison's oivn." It could not have been by the author of the speech at Fort Meigs. The Intelligencer's estimate of the " pop ular tasle and feeling" seems to be predica ted upon the fact of General Harrison's e Icctinn, and the character of the means which were successfully employed to effect lht result.

A man named Crumb, wad killed by an elephant, near New Orleans, on the 23d ult. He was the keeper of an elephant belonging to a menagerie about visiting that city, under the control of Mr. Lynes. On that day they wore joined bj another menagerie, un der the control of Air. Humphreys. The Picayune of the 24lh, says : " Yesterday afternoon, when about six miles from this city, up the coast, on tho opposite side of tho river, ami as both elephants were walk ing along together, tho deceased addressed words to the elephant of which he had charge, when Lynes' elephant made a lounge of his trunk at him, that knocked him and his horse down. He then took him up, put him in his mouth, and crushed him to death. When he came nn near Algiers, he met a mulu on tho road, which lie threw vcr the fence out of his way. He then bo came unmanageable, passed down through Alg-iers, creating great alarm, anil was at largo as lale as len o'clock last night," but has eiiico been secured.

Engel & Connor, of the borough of Easlon ,Pa. havo invented a Sofa for the use of bed ridden patients, which has met with the approbation of our Medical facul ty; and which we think ought to be intro duced to the notice of tho public. It com bines all the advantages of a Sofa for par lors, and a moveable bed, for the support of invalids. By the ingenious applications ol hinges and crrnks it is capable of raisinc the patient to every desirable change of position without exciting the system, or dis turbing any injured part. I have procured one of them, and I shall sieze the first op pnitunily of introducing it to the attention of my friends in practice: and I fed perfect confidence in recommending it to the pat ronago of our profession.
