It being the wish of those who are
int 'ested in the hospital that we
publish a brief statement Of the work
that has been done since the opening
of the institution in Little Falls,
we hereby begin by publicly ex-
pressing our sincere thanks to the
many good and generous benefac-
tors who have aided us to accom-
plish in SO short time the work of
relieving the poor and suffering.
First, we once more thank especially
the Hon. Major Morrill,. who kindly
donated the property; next the at
tending physicians, who have SO
faithfully discharged their duties to
the sick, as well as the interest they

N. B.-Having omitted to mentor
anything about the orphans OF ou1
institution, we thought it better tt
defer this article until later on
when we hope to have a suitable
building for them. Owing tx
the financial embarrassment OF thi.
year, we have failed to accomplish
all that ave had proposed, obstacles
and difficulties never wanting. How
ever, still trusting in the sam
divine providence that has been 81
| watchful over us in the past, w
shall go on with confidence an<
courage and if we do not build til
tTphanage this fall, we hope to b
able to build next spring. Therefor
