RI Our SrArB INSANE AsYLul

WI Suh ONNAh tNnhNh AAoAbb"
A gentleman residing in this city,
and who is nov Director of the West
Virginia Hospital for tho Insane, re-
turned yesterday from Weston, where
hc had been attending tho annual
meeting of tho Board. Through him
wo have learned much that is Of gen.
eral interest concerning this noble
charity.
There arc now in tho hospital 347
patients; 90 have boon admitted du.
ring the present year-tho SupGrin
tendcnt having, on two occasions du.
ring tho past twelve months, relieved cv.
cry jail in tho State Of the unfortunate
insane people who were confpGd there,
until room could ba prepared for them
at the hospital
This is exclusive Of tho colored in.
sane, Of whom there arc about six in
the State; and for whom separate pro-
vision will be made during tho pres.
ent year.
Tho daily average Of patients during
the fiscal year just closed, was 20Sf /;
and they were kept, clothed aud re-.
ceivod the best of care and medical at
tention, at u cost per capita Of tlrO
dollars and fotiy four cents per ,veeh.
When We consider tho present price
of every household necessity, and the
further fact that these unfortuuates are
lodged aud fed in manner equal to
the faro in a good hotel that they are
waited upon aud watched, day and
night; and that this sum includes the
salaries of officers and attendants, and
the cost Of medicines. ii must strike
the reader that in tho management Of
tho Asylum there is efficiency of the
highest degree. This is at a smaller
cost than any other Hospital in the
United States; and We are informed
by a distinguished English traveller,
who recently visited tho Asylum, that
not only was the building tho most
admirable ard beautiful Of its kind
that ho had ever seen, but tho clgegant
way Of keeping tho patients, and the
extremely low cost Of their keeping,
was to him astounding - yheeliHg
