tively speaking, are probably aware of tbe
great Improvement which' -has recently
taken place in this useful Institution. It
would be worth anybody's while to go and
take a look at it and go through it. From
the outside it presents th& appearance of a
very handsome ottaga hospital. On the
inside are all the modern : improvements;:

Plenty of water a useful auxiliary in a
hospital is conveyed into the various
rooms by means of pipes, and all objection
able matter is taken a way by sewerage pipe.
Even the grounds surrounding the hospital
-beautiful as they are have their effect
upon the patients, and it can onlye a
beneficial one.'-' '
The hospital would , now be considered
indispensable. Dr. W. W. Lane, the surj
geon in charge, says he has had as many
asjwenty f our patients under his care at
ene-lime. He has only, a steward and
nurse to assist him- Mr. Nathan Smith, who
was accidentally knocked down by a pass1
icg railroad engine at Rocky Point, and
whose left- arm was amputated at this:
hospital, being taken off even .with the
shoulder, we found sitting up on his cot
complacently smoking his pipe, although

. The patients are not all on tbe charitable

Yesterday afternoon the family of Capt:
James Bagley," residing on the corner of
Fourth and Davis streets, .went, down to
tor the Sound, locking the house up before
starting. Not long afterwards some of the
neighbors discovered that somebody was in
the honse. Information was thereupon sent
to police headquarters, and an officer was
sent to look into the matter. He went into
the . house and found a young cdonwi man
named 'John Merritt under one of the bedsl
with a razor in bis possession, while a large
rasp or file was found by the side of an open
trunk By this time a large crowd had
collected around the . bouse. The officer
removed Merritt from the house and turned
him over to a man . standing outside,' but
before this person could get his hand in
Merritt 's collar he broke away-from him
and ran. The officer and others - pursued,
and he was found lying flat on his face un
der the piazza of a dwelling a short dkv
tance off. He was arrested and . taken to
the guard house,' 1 where he will await a
hearing before Mayor Hall this morning. -
Merritt Was' 'raised, on - Capt. Bagley'S
premises, and he claims, we understand,
that he went into the house to feed Mrs.
B.'s canaries, in fulfilment of a request of
hers ; but as she left him no key, and he
had to make his way through windowit
looks a little suspicious, to say nothing of
bb biding under the bed, carrying with
him such a nice article for prizing open
trunks, Ac, and then running and . hiding
when be was put out of the bouse-. All of
this, we say, looks decidedly suspicious,
but still he may hav&heen innocent of any
felonious intent, v -
