A young man Williams from Fair Haven, about 25 years of age, who has been insane for

a few days past, was brought to Rutland yesterday by his mother to consult Dr. Goldsmith

in regard to his condition.  The physician was not at home,and the mother returned to the

railroad station with him to wait for the six o'clock train.  Coming down Washington street,

Williams fell, cutting a bad gash on his forehead over the right eye.  Dr. Allen saw him in the

railroad station and he thought the young man was insane.

While waiting in the station, a friend, who, like Williams is a Welshman,approached to speak to him, upon which, the unfortunate man went into a paroxysm of raving.  He was taken to the station house and put in one of the cells.  There he tore the bunk to pieces and danced on it, raving and maundering meanwhile and not recognizing his own relatives.  At one time he would sing religious songs . The next he would assume a pugilistic attitude and challenge an imaginary John L. Sullivan to melt him.  He was confined to the station house all night and this morning will be taken to the insane asylum in Brattleboro.
