    is now engaged in settling the land damage of the aqueduct. The amount paid for the aqueduct is 82,210 72. The pipe is of iron ; it has a bore of two inches diameter, and is one mile long. Its weight is about one hundred and forty pounds to the rod. Its strength has been tested by a powerful hydraulic press. Much yet remains to be done to carry out the designs of the benevo¬ lent founders of this institution. There is much room for the charita¬ bly disposed and affluent to do good. Many improvements remain yet to be made, and many distressed subjects to be relieved. The State Lunatic Hospital has uniformly received the patronage and encouragement of the wise and good. We feel it to be our duty, in behalf of the afflicted inmates and their friends, to acknowledge the bounty and kindness of our civil rulers, in erecting and supporting so useful an establishment. We would gratefully remember also individ¬ ual benefactors, among the foremost of whom are the late George S. Johonnot, Esq., and the late Martha Johonnot, his widow, who have bequeathed so large a portion of their estates in aid of the benevolent cause in which we are engaged.
