A message from His Excellency the Governor, by the Secretary of State.

To the Senate and House of Representatives:

I herewith transmit to the Senate, and to the House of Representatives, the annual reports of the superintendent, trustees, and board of visitors of the New Hampshire Asylum for the Insane. Those documents speak for themselves, and well deserve

the attention of the Legislature and of the public. They disclose in language not to be mistaken, the gratifying fact, of the success of that benevolent institution, and leave nothing to be wished for, except a fund sufficient to enable the trustees effectually to aid those who are unable to support themselves. That private as well as public support should be extended to an institution so well calculated to insure comfort, if not entire relief from that worst of all maladies, Insanity, no one, I think, can doubt. JOHN H. STEELE.
