HOsDital Sunday,

Tomorrow (Sunday) contributions will be received in the various churches of New Ha- ven county for the benefit of the hospital. The fact that this institution is sometimes called the State hospital has led to the erro- neous impression On the part of many that it is managed or supported by the State. This is not the case. Each year the Legislature makes an appropriation of 5000 in order to enable the hospital to receive town patients and State soldier patients at reduced rates, but as this sum is not large enough to make up for the reduction (witb the large number treated for some years) the hospital is Q loser and not gainer by it's connection with the State. It also suffers loss on the regular paying patients, so that there is every year a necessary deficit which has to be made up by voluntary gifts. We hope that those who community by the institution will give iber- ally tomorrow.
