TITY Infirmary and Dispensary.-Th,
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasur,
in announcing to its patrons and friends that ii hai
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated TO add TO the comforts Of the pa
tents. The infrmary has been divided in such
manner to separate the several classes Of patients
viz; white and colored, male and female and, from
its position and regulations profers retirement and
privacy as far an can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the lnhrmary is visited daily at III o'clock
a. M, by the attending hyscian and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as is necessary for pre-
scrptions, operations, and dispensing of medicines
for all such dispensary patients as may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services OF the SIS.
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten.
ton to the nursing and comforts of the sick
Private patients may enter the infrmary under the
special Of any of its directors, but other.
wise will comply with the regulations of the institu
ton.
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz:
Private patients: .:..............s5 per week
First class OF patients. ..........4 do.
second class. ...................3 do.
Gases OF mania potu. ..... S. to $40 do.
In every instance the DOaru must be PAID weekly,
in advance, to the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
to receive it, or security for its payment must be
given, the security being responsible citizen of this
District.
II is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry into effect the great design of this in
sttuton, from the heavy expenses incurred, they
cannot extend their charities to the poor far as
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses hence but few
charity patients have been be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and citzens. II is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had il
In their power to the of humanity through
their dspensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical advice.
All classes Of diseases will be admitted into the
in6rmary, except smallpox and manacs. For
these, the directors regret to say provision has
been made.
The nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DR.. THOMAS MILLER,

A correspondent Of the Richmond Enquirer thus
speaks of one who in the hard cider reveres Of lS4O
was stationed Washington to manufacture charges
upon the democracy Of the country. Of that COM
mittee Of wing members of Congress, one is Charles
Mitchell, now residing in Ohio, pardoned convict
from the New York Penitentiary, for tie crime of
forgery and the other, Rice Garland of Louisiana,
described below, is fugitive from his country,
for the same crime. The history of the other MEM
bers of the committee is yet TO be written.
"At Galveston, was assigned room, with two
strangers, of whom, crippled, haggard and care
worn as he was, once knew in Washington re-
preventative in Congress from Louisiana, con6ded in
and idolized by the State. High places have since
been assigned him, but oh how fallen now A wan
derer and outcast from his State his friends and
his family-tne finger Of pointed at him wher-
lac goes, and to sympathse with him IN his
downfall-dragging out a miserable existence, sad
