MARIA JOHNSON, MATRON.

REPORT.

To the Governor and Council of the State of Maine. THE Trustees of the Insane Hospital, in making this their annual report, have the satisfaction to state, that at the monthly, quarterly, and annual examinations the past year, they have found the situation and prospects of the Hospital equal in all, and in some respects better, than at their prior visits.

The Treasurer's accounts have been examined and settled each quarter by three of the Trustees.

At the last settlement, made November 30th,
there was a balance due the Treasurer from
the Hospital of $312, and the balances
then due the institution were forty hundred
and eighty dollars,

Viz: From towns and individuals, $3,478 34
From State for State paupers

after deducting $300 allow-
ed by legislature,

602 58

$4,080 92

From this statement, it appears that the finances of the Hospital are a little better than they were last year.

On the 31st of December, Dr. Smith, the Assistant Physician, having previously resigned, Dr. Henry M. Harlow was elected Assistant Physician.

The following statement gives the number of patients that have been admitted each year, the average number
