Case of Insanity.
Among the inmates recently committed to the insane hospital in this city, is a young Spanish girl from the Island of Cuba. She is in her sixteenth year, the daughter of a liberalist in the Island, who placed her at a boarding school in western Massachusetts. The intelligence that her father was implicated in the late revolutionary movements in Cuba, and his property confiscated, preyed upon her spirit and unsettled her reason. Hopes are entertained that she may recover.
