The pulpit is neat and simple, furnished with
a comfortable sofa, while before it stand
beautiful table and two nice chairs Pivot
blinds and handsome porch in front give
the church most attractive exterior.
This Is the church in which the late Colin
@, Porter, Esq, took SO much interest before
his death. Most of the community have
shown great interest in the house, but it will
not be invidious to mention that its complies
ton has been owing specially to Messrs. John
Burns. Isaac Renner. Henry Rohrer and
Archie McCarroll, and to the noble ladies of
the Sewing Society, who, we believe, raised
over $500 for it.
The church was on Sunday dedicated with>

SEWING MACHINE SALES FOR 1873.
,Inger ManufacturIng Do. sold 2s2. .lil Na, hInes.

The table OF Sewing Machine Sales for ISIS
shows that our sales last year amounted to
232.4f4 two hundred and thirty-two thous-
and, four hundred and forty-four) Machines,
being a large increase over the sales OF the pre-
viOus year llS72l
The table also shows that our sales Exceed
those Ofany other Company, for the period
named. by the number OF 1929 Machines,
or nearly double those OF any other Company.
10 NAV further be stated that the sales Of lN1i,
n compared with those of 1872, show a relative
Iy larger increase, beyond the sales OF other
makers, than Of any other year.
For instance, in lS72 We sold $1,000 more
than any other Company, whereas, IN lSsa' the
sales were lI3.254 Machines im Excess OF
our Highest Competitor.
These figures are all the more reinhrkabie,
FOR the reason that the sales OF the prlncl pal
Companies in 1873 are LESS THAN THEIR
SALES IN 1877, whereas, as has been shown,
OUR SALES HAVE LA ARGEI4l INCREASED.
The account OF sales is from returns made 10

Ot the whole number of patients now
IN the Hospital seventy-twO are consid-
cred durable, ninety incurable, thirty
three doubtful.
SIX private patients have been re-
ceived, since my last report, four ofwhom
have been discharged; one died and one
remains in the institution.
The rates of recoveries to admissions,
since my last report, is 424 per cent.
The deaths amount to ii IL per cent.
OF the whole number treated.
The admissions for the past two years
are ten less than in the preceding term.
The highest number of patients under
treatment in the Hospital an any one
time was l99.
The lowest number of patients under
treatment in the Hospital at any one
time was 100.
The average number of patients under
treatment for the whole time was lsO
35-lO0.
The whole number of male patients
under treatment was 20l-females, 81.
The highest number of males under
treatment at any one time since my last
report was AZ.
The highest number of females under
treatment at any one time since my last
report was SO.
The lowest number of males under
treatment at any one time since my last
report was ll3.
The lowest number of females under
treatment at any one time since my last
report was 45.
ESCAPES.
Since my last report six patients have
escaped, of whom five have been re-
turned, leaving one still at large.
The percentage of recOveries since my
last report shows favorably as compared
with the best Asylum in the country.
Indeed it is much greater than the un-
promising condition of the patients
when admitted to the Asylum would
warrant one in expecting. Many OF
these were old cases, and had been
broken down in physical health, as well
as in mind, and feel highly gratified
that there should be so large a number
who have been restored to reason and
their friends.
No epidemic or general sickness has
prevailed since the last report, and the
health of the patients has generally been
good. The patients have been en-
couraged to engage in those amuse-
ments, which have been found to in
terest and benefit them.
In connection with good food, warm
clothing, kind and attentive nursing,
and judicious medical treatment, / find
that all kinds of innocent amusements,
and q proper amount of exercise in the
open air, form the chief reliance upon
which we can place our hopes Of restor-
ing the diseased mind to a moral and
healthy condition.
In conclusion, commit the institu-
tion and its inmates to the protection oi
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, be-
lieving that the representatives of 8
philanthropic and enlightened people
will not withhold anything which has
thus far been provided and found neces.
sary for the comfort and welfare of this
unfortunate class of our fellow-beings.
