The subject Of a new insane hospital has
cen under consideration in Massachusetts.
heir present accommodations are too limi-
ed. Tie report Of Commissioners appointed
y the Governor to purchase land and erect
uitable buildings for a hospital at an expense
lot exceeding $780, 900, has just been sent in
TO the Legislature, from which it appears that
they have purchased about 200 acres of land
in Danvers, known as Hathornes Hill, for
the sum of $50 200. The maximum amount
which will be required for all purposes, is es
timated at 100000, divided up as follows:
For land, $4,000 90
hospital buildings, 10000 90
water supply, say $4,000 20
grading say 10000 90
laying out grounds, outbudings, etc, 40, 600 90
Total, $500, 900 90
The Commissioners now ask the Legisla-
ture for authority to proceed in the matter on
the understanding that the original appropria
ton will be insufficient, and that the maxi
mum expenditure will not exceed S900,0
The report closes by stating thai the present
insane hospitals are already over-crowded,
and that the new hospital, as soon as COM
plet d. will be occupied by a large number OF
patients for whom it is impossible at this time
to provide suitable accommodations.

Some days ago we noticed that the receiver of

better showing than was expected, and 1t is
hoped the result will be equally beyond the gen

ready declared fer the latter put the progress in
the iquidatian of the former and the collection
OF its assets are very much retarded by legal pro-
ceedings both at home and abroad. This remark
is also, IL some extent, applicable to the Crescent
