We hear considerable anxiety ex.
pressed concerning the case Of Mr.. John
Hamilton. He is subject to intervals of
mental alteration that cause his rela-
tives and friends great uneasIness; but
we understand that his physician says
that the case has developed no phazes
that he did not anticipate, and that he Is
confident of his ultimate recovery. The
patients appetite Is said to have re-
turned, and much ofhis former strength
the great difficulty being the condition
of his mind. The fact that he has clear
recollection OF past events, and is SUBJ
Iected to his mental wanderings only at
intervals, encourages hope Of ultimate
cure. He still confines himself to his
