In conclusion, the Trustees would refer to the Report of the Superintendent which follows, and which contains a description of the patients treated and their diseases; and they would call attention to the number of applications denied admission to the Institution during the past three months, to prove the inadequacy of the present building to meet the demands of the public. They have every reason to believe that the management of the Hospital, so far as it depends upon the fidelity of the officers, has been generally approved.
In. behalf and by order of the Trustees.

CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 27.
Of the remaining 72 patients, a small number having settle- ments in other towns of the Commonwealth have been partially supported by such towns.
The State and the Towns acknowledging settlements contribute amounts equal in each case to the probable costs which they would have incurred had the patient come directly under their support, while the more liberal charity of the Hospital incurs an additional expense to afford to the greatest sufferers, sick of acute diseases, the care which other organizations are unable to supply.
Whole number of patients treated during the year, 169 ; Med- ical, 110 ; Surgical, 59.
There was one birth in the Hospital during the year.

Nearly half the deaths were of patients brought in after severe accident, in a nearly moribund state, which will account for the high rate of mortality, viz : 18 per cent.
The number of accidents received was 38 ; largest number of patients in the hospital at any one time, 13 ; smallest number, 4.
The average number of patients for the year was 8}, of whom 3} were entirely dependent upon the city, and 5 partially sup- ported themselves, or had part of their expenses paid by the State, or by other towns. The average price paid by paying patients was $8 75 per week.
The average time of patients in the Hospital was 18.3 days.
