Since the RTattleboro Memorial hos
pital was opened a month ago &c pa
tients have been admitted, and there have
been "A surgical operations. There has
been to this time but one death,
and two patients have been discharged,
Miss Farmer and Mr.. Fisher, leaving 90
patients in the hospital at the present
time. Several more patients will be dis
charged before the end of this week
Although the hospital is full at pres
ent there is no immediate likelihood OF
its being over-crowded. and doubtless II
will be a long time before it is full again.
The reason why there are so many pa =
tients now is that many who anticipated
undergoing operations waited for the
completion of the hospital rather than &c
elsewhere.
