Hospital for the Insane.

the number of patients in the hospital on ‘the Ist January, 1888, was 120, and on the 3lst December, 122. Twenty-five males and fifteen females have been admitted, making the total number under treatment 160. Eighteen males and fourteen females have been discharged, and five males and one female have died, leaving under care at the present time sixty-one males and sixty-one females; a total of one hundred and twenty-two. The daily average num- ber resident has been one hundred and twenty-six. Six deaths have occurred, due to the following causes, viz.: 2 from con- sumption, 1 from apoplexy, 2 from epilepsy,

Since removing to the building now oc- cupied, the average yearly number under treatment has been as follows:—In 1880, 94; in 1881, 98; in 1882, 1024; in 1883, 1053; in 1884, 1114; in 1885, 118; in 1836,

ended it has been 126. The percentage of deaths for the same years is as folluws:—In 1880, 5.3; in 1881, 8.1; in 1882, 6.8; in 1883, 8.5; in 1884, 6.4; in 1885, 8.4; in 1886, 9.1; in 1887, 7.8; while for the last year it has beer 4.7. Of the cases admitted during the pasé year, 2 were between 15 and 22 years of age; 9 between 20 and 30; 13 between 30 and 40; 5 between 40 and 50; 3 between 50 and 60; 3 between 60 and 70; and 5 between 70 and 80. Of the patients remaining under care and treatment, 7 have been resident Jess than one year, and the others for periods varying from one to thirty-seven years. The percentage of re- coveries for the past year is 50, while the death rate has been lower than for many years.

The cost of maintenance per capita of the patients in hospital was $248 a week. The total expenditure for the past twelve months, $16,204.83 ; and the amount real- ized from paying patients, $1,124.44.

Dr. Blanchard acknowledges the receipt

of sundry newspapers, and adds :

‘TI cannot conclude this report without making sorrowful mention of the death of George R. Beer, Esq., the veteran member of your Board, which took place after a length- ened illness at his residence in Charlottetown, on the 20th day of June last. Mr. Beer was appointed a Trustee in 1875, and up to a very short time before his death took an active and intelligent interest in all matters connected with the welfare of the Hospital. By his death we lose one whose place it will be difli- eult to fill.”

TATLOR:-

Charlottetown, March 13, 188g

The public lands sold last year amounts to 4,0874 acres, for which $5,741.58 are to be paid. The gross receipts of the Land

Office for the yeax were $36,671.54; and three hundred .and fifty three accounts were closed. The Commissioner says :—

‘‘As explained in previous Reperts the quantity of unsold land is much less than what appears as the difference betwen the actual sales by the Department since its es- tablishment and the acreage alleged to be con- tained in the proprietory Estates.

‘‘ An approximation of this shortage will be found in the Report of the Department for the year 1885. Of the 83,575 acres then esti- mated to be vacant or unattorned for, the con- ditions of the Government jhave since been complied with in the case of 17,136% acres. Of the lands which still remain unpurchased, a considerable part are vacant and inferior in ‘quality; while in many cases of occupied lands, adverse holding had been maintained against the proprietors; at the same time 1t may be observed that some of the adverse holders are year by year coming in and attorning to the Government. ;

‘‘There are scattered over the various estates a considerable number of tenants who have not yet commenced their purchases. In many of these cases there are no circumstances furnishing sufficient excuse for this continued neglect, and in such it is evident that coercive measures will have to be resorted to.

‘The total receipts at this office, as prin- cipal and interest since the acquisition of the proprietory estates uader the Land Purchase Act of 1875, have been $607,678.19. While a large sum still remains to be paid, it must be

evinced a strong desire to comply with the very reasonable terms of the Government. There are, however, as previously stated, many tases in which great indifference 15 manifested, and in which it will be obligatory on the Department to take legal proceedings at an early day.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. County Exhibitions.

S1n,—In view of the announcement ‘hat the matter of exhibitions will be seriously inquired into this session, and any legisla-

aud 1 from chronic diarrhea. {

‘opportune to call the attention of Parlia-

120; in 1887, 117; and for the year just.

tion considered necessary to increase their usefulness passed, 1 deem the present time

ment to the fact that so far as the County Exhibitions are concerned, the most pos- sible benetit is not derived from the money granted. I do not intend to declare against County Exhibitions; lam firm in the be- lief that their retention is in the best interests of our farmers; but few will be found to deny that they are uot managed as they ought to be, and that, owing to the peculiar situation of some parts of the Counties, they are not always he!d in the right places. Take Prince County, for ex- ample, stretching out on the map a distance of almost a hundred miles, and ask your- self if the western portion of it is going to be benefited by holding the exhibitions always at Summerside, a town away to the eastern part of the County, and itself only forty-nine miles from Charlottetown; while Alberton is distant from it sixty-five miles by rail, and Tignish seventy-eight, the settlements to the north-west of Tignish being removed toevena greater distance still by at least nine miles. This geogra- phical obstacle, you will say, may be easily overcome by affording cheap and efficient railway accommodation. Not so. The railway fares are always high—never less than one fPlirst-class fare—which is{ too heavy for the poor people, and consequently they stay home. To the people west of Lot 13, the exhibitions are of no earthly value. This is a fact that cannot be gainsaid. But the matter should certainly be looked into by the Government whilst on the subject of exhibitions. We contend for, aye, demand, more attention in the far west. Admitted- ly these exhibition grants are made in the interests of farmers ssil breeders. The Government would desize to give an

prizes for farm products and_ live stock. The less progressive a section may be, the more desirous should they be oi stimulating its people to a proper advancement. It is admitted on all sides that the farms of Western Prince County are nowise inferior} to other parta of the County; and still, up

West, the agricultural status is far below

the average, while improved breeding is

(except in atow isulated cases) unthought

of. How is this to be remedied? 1 think

much, if not everything necessary, could be

done by holding the Prince County show

up in the western end of the County, at, Alberton, say, every second or third year, ' and by disposing of the County’s stock or a: portion of it there. ‘To the efforts of the, Coles-Whelan administration in the matter of the distribution of government stock is

to be attributed any breeding now to be: traced in our horses, and the government

of the day could well emulate the impar-); tiality of Coles and Whelan. In fact, I feel! that they will do so if they give the matter a moment’s consideration.

It may be said that in Alberton! there is no accomodation for an exhibition. This is not a well-taken objection. There’ is field room enough for the cattle-show anywhere, and, xs for the Exhibition, it would not be difficult to geta place com- inodious enough to hold one, a couple of times larger than that at Summeside during the last few years. Let the Government once decide to give us the fair, and the ac- commodation is assured. ‘* But,” it may be asked, ‘‘ what have you up there to ex- hibit ?’ I would reply by asking another question, ** when will we have anything to, exhibit, unless something is done to arouse our farmers from their present lethargic state?’ We look to the Government to, supply the thunder. And what has been said for Prince County applies in a measure to King’s, although there Georgetown is somewhat central.

To this matter, then, the suffering West calls the attention of our legislators. We will see if they are alive to their responsi- bility. FairplaY.

ter there has been a bitter feeling between the men and officers. The men complained that they wers treated worse then dogs, and that their complaints were received with contempt. Asa result, numerous desertions occurred, the the skedaddlers making Hamilton their head- quarters. Ou Thursday, seven of the soldiers made a break for Canada and got there. The discovery caused a great row. The sergeants and other subordinate officers were censured and recriminations followed, until E the fort wasin open mutiny.
