Wo had an illustration rcceutly of th dangerous .character of maniacs in the ease ol tho insane soldier who came very near killing Mr. Hocking. Hock-ing. One would think that an occurrence occur-rence i - lis kind, so rocent loo, would be sullicient to at least suggest prudence prud-ence in tlie management of these dangerous characters; yet, in defiance de-fiance of prudence, decency and common sense, tiio young maniac Frost is still kept iu the house of his fa tin r, on Third South street, in this city. lay before yesterday he escaped es-caped and ran along tho street without with-out any clothing on his person. He was captured soon after without having hav-ing dono any damage, I believe; but who can tell what might have resulted re-sulted bad circumstances been different? differ-ent? Ho was taken back and is now in tho samo room, and his cries are siill the pest of tho neighborhood. Uo our city fathers sanction this kind of proceeding? If they do not let thorn attend to it at once, and show that they havo Bouie regard to tho wishes of tho tax-payers in the Eighth Ward. |
