A NEW HosPrrAL.-A Hospital has
been duly instituted, under the 5
pices OF the Society of st. Vincent De
Paul, in Virginia. The first patient was
received IN yesterday. The care of
persons who enter this hospital will be
given under the Sisters Of Charity. 1t
is in contemplation to soon erect a COM
modious building for the purposes of
this Asylum for the sick. Whoever is
placed under treatment in this retreat
for the sick, will be sure Of unremitting
and the kindest attention, with such
school Of medical treatment as the pa
tient himself may designate. There is
no doubt but that half the persons who
fall sick in this country would recover,
if they were only swell taken care Of
as the phrase is. Many and many a
young mau and young woman has died
in the Western STATES, in our line OF
States this side OF the "West" proper,
from want Of judicious attention. In
nine cases out Of ten Of fevers and pre-
yailing epidemics of our climate, the i'll
ones would recover, if they had good
care, and good, adapted food, even II
thew were without medicines. But all
the appliances should certainly be COM
biued in our county, III more than one
hospital. We need not speak OF the ex-
celleuce of the Sisters ofChaity asnurses
for the sick. Their order was founded
by ST. Vincent de Paul aud 1t is quite in
baptismal keeping that the new Hospi-
tai should be under the joint supervi-
sion of the society naufed and the Sis
tiers. The people Of the vicinity,
including many adjacent counties, will
be extremely glad to learn OF the actual
opening Of "St. V~inceut's Hospital" in
Virginia City. For the present, a Ward
will be provided in the building oppo-
site ST. Mary's Church, Virginia. The
facilities will be increased, as the appli-
~catious warrant. Sevearl more Sisters
have recently arrived from the Bay,
among whom will be divided the labors
Of ministering to the sick ut "St. VIM
cents" Undoubtedly from this modest
commencement, q large and truly ad-
mirably furnished institution will
soon be announced. In II short
time the terms Of admission and
attendance will be permanently ar
ranged aud advertised. The single pa
tient now in charge, it is confidently ex-
pected, will soon be graduated II well
man. The diet of the sick will, be II
matter of prime consideration. That it
may be adapted as nourishing and pal
s,able, the managers will spare no
trouble or cost knoring, as they do
from long experience, that - physical
recovery aud a healthy renewal of
strength is greatly dependant on the
food provided for the bodily sick. As al
ready indicated, ST. Viucent's hospital
will be open to patients from any part
of the State. Aud the charges will be
fixed at the lowest possible figure, with
a connected provision for the care OF
the utterly destitute, through the vol
unfairly contributed revenues OF the
Society of ST. Vincent. 1t may be that
a suitable building, in size and style, IS
already up in Virginia, and purchas-
able for a reasonable sum-. 1t so, the
necessity of six months delay in select
ing ground and constructing u house
entirely for the use of the society will be
obviated. In this conclusion we may
gratefully say a good work Of charity
has been inaugurated, in Virginia, by
the efficient ST. Vincent De Paul society.
God bless il.
