Mittel, mad the report. After speukiug of the general pros.
parity of the hestitntion, the report said that on the last or.•
esteem the number of cease cm the foundation was stated at
76; that it wee now no Isis than 91; and that it would be
advanced by the election of that day to upwards of
100. The welfare of the yetients wu much above what
might be expected. Aletaoegh narrowed in numbers, they
were still a family, with every domestic comfort. The died
was that life was cherished and prolonged ; the sufferer was
satisfied that he had a home and friends for Me ' sffiction
was et least moderate; some cures had been effected ,•
and two of the patients were so far rename

referred to, and which was every way so invilis&
had not only been 'scared, but, in the coma
of the year, paid for and made theirs for all time to coma.
It was understood at the but dinner that they should maim
an attempt dating this MAKS to secure the
