THE DORSET COUNTY HOSPITAL

The annual meeting of this valuable Institution, was
held on Thursday last, under the presidency of Lord
Ibigby. There was a very large attendance, among
thee present being Mr. ..1. Floyer, M.P., the Hon.
Captain Digby, up., the Rev. Prebendary Bingham
(the bon. see.), General Tytler, Colonel Oldfield, Mr.
Alderman Galpin, Mr. 11. Spicer, Mr. Chapman
Saunders, Dr. Good, the Rev. Mr. E.lwarde, Rev. F.
H. domes, Rev. Prebendary Nash, Rev. E. Ludlow,
Mr. G. AVarry. J.P.' Mr. M. I)svenish and others.
Rev. Prclocnolary BINGHAM opened the proceedings
by la-est:sting the report to the of which he re-
fcrrol minutely. The large ;saving effected in the
anestie expenditure, was a matter for sincere con-
gratulation. Instancw of this were to be found in the
fact that 1:100 ha-I been caved on the meat, wines, and
lessee, anol £3O on eggs; and there was also a corres-
ponding decrease in the expenditure .on other items.
The considerable reduction in the expenditure was not
wholly attributable to that cause, for there had been a
dianinution in the number of patients, averaging nine tier
week. He moved the adoption of the following
report :
The committee present their alith annual report with
much thankfulness to Almighty God, tenth on account of
the large amount of benefit which the Hospital hsa been '
again privileged to confer upon the sick poor, and also on ,
account of what they trust will be accepted sit a more
satisfactory statement than they have recently been able
to give. This year, It will be recollected, was commenced
with a debt 'lnc to the treasurer of no less; than .004 12s.
9.1., a fact in itself aufficiently discouraging, though, as
was then explained, it had teen mainly incurred in carry-
ing out stnictural improvements awl heavy repairs, which
might he fairly charged to capital. In order partially to !
meet this deficiency the trustees wen, empowered by the
anniversary meeting to sell out St .ck enough to place
£50.1 at the disposal of the committee, and although this
vote was not literally complied with, a min of .£5OO Stock
woo "old, which realised tieli 17s. est, leaving the balance
of debt fete' lei. al. It was then stated that certain
representations had been made by the medical officers for
improving the sanitary state of the hospital, which would
probably tend to a still further outlay. After much dis-
cussion it wan determined to obtain the opinion of some
gentleman who had Oirele such 'mittens his especial study,
and early in the year a fall investigation was instituted,
and a detailed and interesting report rendered by Dr.
George H. Evans, a highly qualified adviser. In con-
sequence of hi+ reconimendatians, which the committee
have very generally adopted, many important alter-
ation.; have been made in the draining and ventilation,
which can scarcely fail to he permanently beneficial,
and an experiment in heating has been made in two of
the wards, which appears likely to be successful. The
coat has been' by no means trifling, but on the other
, hand no inconsiderable saving in tno mat of maintenances
has requite,' from compliance with one of the points on
which Dr. Evan + ',Jost strongly insisted—viz., the reduc-
tion of the number of beds in the several wanls The
maximum is now reductal fn•m Of to 50, with the cordial
concurrence, issue- believe, of the medical staff and the
average of in-patients througlimit the year has conse-
quently been brought down from (.2 to 4.1. though the
total nomber trgateil has only been slightly less—viz., MO
against 3.0. The establishment of several cm:tiler hospi-
tale in various parts of the county ha+ necessarily lessened
to eene extent the demands for admission here, and, by

This was sec-inlet by %lr. Fon en, who spoke in
glowing terms .of the intimoveal proepects of the
o hospital. 'cast year, be reminded them, he had
otaasicti to; epeak in a for from hopeful tone upon the
FAVIIP subject, and pointed out the neerwity of a
curtailment in their expenditure, and his fear that
otherwise they might col Lapse. In reference to the
saving upon wines, &c., he expressed himself as,
with; ought not exactly in favour of the abolition of
alcoholic stimulant. yet he placed great faith in any
ccnree that might be nolopted by the medical officers,
and he was perfectly torepared to agree with any ino,le
of treatment they night oft fit to adopt. The cod
that had been expended in their improved ventilation
and drainage had abundantly testified to its desir-
ability in the it:to-eased well-being of the patients they
had received.

as a travelling ealesman for several firms in this city.

at an hotel kept by a woman. , At the time a widowed
neire of the landlady, named Della Wyliorn, nee
alahan, of Canandaimm, N.Y., was sojourning at the
hotel. Bennett was At 4nice etnitten with her charms,
and began suit for her hand, urging it with all his
eloquence. The widow resisted fire for a year, but
finally succumbed to his entreaties, and consented to
come with him to Chicago. They reached this city

she has since been unable to identify the house. In
the evening he teik her acres the street to an
office a here, she believed, a legal marriage
ceremony am performed, and she took upon herself
the name and duties if Mn.. James Gordon Bennett.
Mien the question iif the marriage began to be
agitated, Bennett stated that the marriage certificate
eould he hail at the office of Jastice Haines, where, as
he claimed, the ceremony was performed ' • but the
records show no such transaction, and the license
records show that no license for such marriage was
ea er issued ; the conclusion reached is that Bennett
lied, and that the marriage was a mock affair, per-
formed by some one in the employ of Bennett. After
the eeremony they went to the suburban town of Des
Plaines, where Mrs. Wyborn bail an aunt, Mrs. l'ark.
