HosP1TAL.-The county has leased the dwellnA
! owned by Charles Thomas, and formerly occupieE
by Rev. Mr.. Myers, for one year, for hospital
building. The house is much better for hospital

are now being cared for, by DR.. J. S. Harris, and
Mr.. John Dawson, under whose charge they will
receive every necessary attention.

chased by Capt Philbrook the other evening, |
