First Annual Report of the Living Home
and the Delaware Home for the Inebri-
ate and Insane, Incorporated by the
LegIsIature OF State, January 1861.
These institutions, the first aud only ones Of
the kind 10 the State Of Delaware were formally
opened to the public on the 22d Of November,
lSGO-although it was sometime after, that we
commenced receiving boarders.
Our business has exceeded our expectations
for the first year, yet the war has had the effect
to prevent communication with section of
country from which we looked for patronage
consequently our business has been mostly local
During the year. flty-two boarders have been
admitted into these Institutions, nearly one-haf
have been inebriates, every one of whom have
been entirely reformed for the time, and most
Of them have continued to be useful members of
society. Others have returned to their cups
been re-admitted, secured and will probably
continue in their uncertain course unless they
become permanent boarders in the Institution.
OF the Insane, several have been cured, aud
others yet remain under treatment. Two have
been discharged, not as incurable, but for want
of means to pay, and we're removed to the Aims
House. Had the Legislature made an appropri-
alton to this department. as asked to do by the
physicians of Wilmington, many poor uufortu.
mates unable to pay, might now have been of
use to themselves and the community, instead of
begging, stealing or being supported at public
expense in the County Aims Houses-places for
making rather ihan curing inebriates aud not
generally very we'll calculated for durable cases
of insanity.
The committees Of the Legislature, who,
by appointment, visited our institutions and
pronounced in their report, that they were well
calculated for the purposes for which they were
intended, and further advised the public gener.
ally to patronze them, and the Trustees Of the
different County Aims Houses in particular, to
send all durable cases of insanity, and still re-
fused to recommend an appropriation TO a home
institution, established by private enterprise
more especially, after the same Legislature had
made liberal appropriation to public institu.
ton in a neighboring State, for a less needy
class of unfortunates. We shall expect NOR,
wisdom from. our next Legislature.
We have not and do not Intend to nsk any nit
from the Stale to help maintain our institutions
for we can go on without il but while there i

midst, whom nearly all the otherss. States hayl
