MOUNT HOPE RETREAT.-The thirty fifth annual
report of Mount Hope Retreat, located in the Sd
district of this county, compiled by DR.. VIM. IL.
Stokes, attending physician, shows the number of
patients in the institution to be three hundred and
twelve. At the close of last year there were three
hundred and one patents-one hundred and thir-
ty-four males and one hundred and siXty-seven
females. During the year 1877 one hundred and
two have been admitted, Orthirty-seven males and
sxty-five females, making total number of four
hundred and three under treatment-One hundred
and seventy -one males and two hundred and thir-
ty-two females. The whole number of patients
discharged eighty -nine-thirty -one males and
ffty-eight females. OF this number forty -sx
were restored-fteen males and thirty one females.
Twenty-Five improved-twelve males and
thirteen females. Two unimproved-both
females.
With regard to the proportion of deaths among
the insane, a very remarkable difference in the
rate of mortality of the two sexes is nearly al
ways to be observed. As is well known, there is
an excess in the general mortality of this country
on the side of males, but this does not exceed five
or six per cent. The relative difference, in most
institutions, is enormously greater in the insane
In many asylums, the mortality amongst men has
been nearly double that amongst women At Mt.
Hope, directly the opposite prevails. The stats
tics show that in the female sex the mortality was
twelve, whilst in the male sex it was only four
In the hospital during the past year there were
twenty eight labOrers, twenty farmers, twenty-five
merchants and fourteen students, the remainder
being made up of few representatives of nearly
all other professions and trades.
