aqdcpurteay.of the steward, "Wra. G. Malin, Esq.,
to make a close cxamin&tionof all
itejpartvfrom the subterraneous vaults two stories
under ground, to tho towering cupola which sur

of JJlay, yearly, forever. 'A treasurer is also
elected, at tho sumo time, Tho officers appointed

, From the last annual report of tho managers for
’ the yfcar ending-April 25th, 1857, T am permitted
to‘extract tho following highly interesting par
ticulars:
v* Tlie' tbtaPoxponditUros for tho year amounted to
$34,864.33, tho items.of. which may bo grouped
undv'f eight general heads, viz : Tho medical do'
partraent; household, expenses, (food, d 0.,) alone
amounting to. .nearly. $14,000; [furniture,' fool,
light, and waslungj-lire stock; repairs, improve
ments, &e.‘: salaries and wages J. medical library,
&c. ; and/ expenditures for 1 patients to beropaid.
, Those expenses wero fully met' by the reoelpfcs of
' tho institution, and left on th’e.day of the report a
_ Wince of $172.29 in tho hands of the treasurer. [
' ; FfOin*an abstract of the .cases treated during the
year, it appeal there were ib the surgical depart
raont,ll2o, of which 1595 wero cured, and 80 died;
of the romaindoT, 172 wore partially relieved, 111
remained in thb institution at the date of the re
port* iho others having either ibeen removed by
their friends, dtseharged for misconduct, or eloped. 1
The’greatest numbcr.'of- f dasoB in this department
were fractures oftbe inferior extremities, of, which
there weroTOS; only four of which were fatal, Tho i
greatest number of deaths from any. one. class of
injuries, wero 14; these wore from burns and
scalds.
In. foe.' medical department there wero 705 cases
,treated, of which 06 died, 374 were cured, 148 ro
iieved,;and the reranindcrothcrwiso removed, ex
cepting 55, which were, BtiU retained ,di the d&te,
of-tfio -report.’ Tho greatest number un
der, this head wore rhoumatios, of which there
* 127 in all, and 15 of thorn fatal. >' ..
The diseases resulting most fatally was. phthisis,-
of which there wero in all 75' cases and 23 deaths;
and—what Seems rattier remarkable-^ not 'one,tin
gle enrei partial relief and removal by friends ac
counting for tho remaindor. Of the 1120 and
all—treated during tho year,
1080’ Were admitted within the twelvo’ months, and
151 retained from the previous-year. l
! Of thi£ gross'humber 658 were pay-patients jifid
1173 poor. ; The average number of patients in the
institution throughout' Iho year was. 150, tho
avorago time.of treatments each haying boon 31
days.*. Tho'oxoct proportion of patients cured Was
‘ C4;20 per conk,- whilst tho proportion of deaths
was but 9.13 per cent. Of tho' 1680 admitted 1
withintho year, thore wore 1377 males, and 303
females, 944 of tho wholo numbor having been
single adults... The caaso of this large prepon
derance of male pationts is readily accounted for
in the faet that a very largo proportion of hospital
cases are of a surgical character, and as the avo
cations oftbo, otticy sex seldom load them into
positions incurring bodily danger, the breaking of
hones and crushing of limbs is with them compara
tively a nmttfcV of soldom occurrence. Then again,
the very largo proportion of single adults is also
easily explained in thomoro general homeless con
dition of.this class; especially Js this true of our
young men, many of whose'parents ore not resi
dents in tho city. ,
Of tho ''nativity of tho 1,080 patents admitted
within tho year, it appears 594 wero born in the
United States;. 781. in -Ireland, 111 in Germany;
83ih. England, and tho remaining 111 in twenty
four[different—principally transatlaolfo—countries.
To; realize at a glance the thousands of sufferers
which this benevolent institution hoar been tlie
means of biasing; with restored health, do., since
its establishment* in tho year-1752, it may bo sta
ted; that during this interval of one hundred and.
five year?,' thero have been admitted into it, 61,-
. 59Q t patients, of,whom 55,902 Have been poor per
-7,162 relieved;'4,Bll removed withoutmaferifllJml
prov6ment; 1,442 eloped and discharged< for mi£-
concluoti'l,3«u pregnant womuamfaly delivered;
1,250 infants; bora In the* Hospital, and 5,038. died,’
leaving 100 rejnaining in tho Hospital at, the date
• of .this estimate,.'. - : 'V- /
Of the 22,30,0 patients admitted daring tho, last
fifteen yVdw, it appears from tbe record that 8,609
irare born in-the United States, 10,175 in Ireland,
and 3,516 in alt other epuntries. / . .
V(/f the. construction and * arrangement of tho
building itself, there can scarcely be too muoh said
in its- favor., ,As its original design merely-em
braced that portion which now forms the oast wing
of the building, its dimensions have been greatly
enlarged; yet, notwithstanding that a century had
elapsed stnee tho cornor-stonojof that noblo' edifice
wasloid, jadioioas ovorscers were so far up to
thetimes in which they lived, that when done, it
was.so complete in all its parts as to render the
gradual introduction of all .the modern' improve
ments a work of comparative ease. In tho fait of
1753, the original'part of, .the building was so far
'conipieted ihatpatienta were admitted, and the
, ■ victims of sudden accident, instead of being left to
tho.raercies of chance, maimed Sv porhaps, for life,'
or perishing from want of suitable aid,,had now
ready‘access to .the best skill and necessary ap
piiai&cs;tiat .human agency could afford. This
tfojt;.no ’ stn&tl achiovemont in those early days of
Amerioan thrift and enterprise, for a town number
ing at the time less, than twonty thousand inhabi
tants. ... • . 1 y

Iron spring-bedsteads are tbe kind used throughout
the building,-and everything oonneoted with the
bedding arrangements presents an appearance of
oloanliness and attention highly crcditablo to tho
management of the institution.
' In the largo open hall in the second story, cor
responding to the great ball of entrance from the
north on tho 'first floor, are the portraits of Dr.
Rush and S&muol Coates, painted by Sully, both
really'admirable' specimens of .that celebrated
artist’s skill.
Passing across this hall, we enter the hospital
library; This itself Is yrell worth a visit, aud
would, without reforonce to any other point of in
terest, furnish acapital theme for an interesting
newspaper articlo.. But,a moro glnnoe at it must
suffice. It contains ten thousand five hundred
volumes on the subject of medicine and ,its colla
. total sciences.. Those woxkß have all been pur
ohtised with the fees received from the medical
students, who have from time to time attended the
hospital lectures. Among the most ancient of tbis
extensive collection, I was shown what is believed
to‘.be the first Cyolopedia ever published. This
work was printed in the year 1612, in the Batin
language, and in tho old English letter.
Some of its passages .are odd enough, especially
one to whioh my attention wasballed, in whioh the
author, three and a half centuries ago, was gravely
■expatiating upon tho subjoot of oraniology— a most
ludicrous anticipation of a subject whioh Dr. Gall
three hundred years later unfolded to the world as
a most important and olevating science under the
title of phrenology. Tho author and compiler of
this singular production—-a German—"is set down
as “ Auotore Grogoria Reish,” of Argentorato,
(Stmburg.) Its title is “Margarita Phitoßophioa,’ ’
(Pearls of Philosophy),
, jphis room is also occupied as the meeting room
of tho Board of Managers. The leoturo room of
the institution is in the central part of the third
story of tho building, and Is of a capacity to seat
comfortably two hundred and fifty students, though
there are not unfrequently aa many as three hun
dred in attendance, during the, winter term.. . AH
cases requiring surgical operation, thataro brought’
to the hospital—provided their natnro is such as to
admit of delay without any disadvantage to tho
•patient—are reservedforoperatlon in the presence
of tho class.
The apartments of the throo rosldent attending
physicians are well supplied with all the necessary
I surgical instruments. In ono of these apartments
I noticed on extensive. collection of speoimens of
diseased parts of subjects who have died in the
’ Hospital preserved in spirits, some of whioh are
really horrifying to look upon., .
• There is also in the* library—whioh I neglected
to mention —a book of colored representations of
some of tho most frightful and appaling diseases
that hitman flesh is heir to. This book, which is
, the work-of a Russian, was imported from Franco
at a coSt of orio hundred dollars. The oases, of
hideous, cancors, Scrofulous oruptions and deform
ing tumors, thcroln portrayed with tho artist’s
pencil,- aflordod to mymind another forcible proof
that death is indeed a bonefloent institution, in
freeing tho wrotohed' victim from thb dreadful
ravages of such terrible diseases, and to which wo
aro ail liable.
How forciblo indeed do exhibitions liko this im
press tho thoughtful mind with tho comparative
wealth which we all possess'whilst in tho enjoy-
ment of health, no matter what in ay bo our pecu
niarycircumstances in life; for certainly no one
will deny that next injmportanco to the salvation
of the soul,.is the hoalth of tho body; but, alas!
how ungrateful we are (in the enjoyment of one,
and, in too many oases, how sadly indifferent about
securing the other!
From tho cupola of the Hospital a very satisfac
tory and extensive view of the central and northern
portions of tho city is presented to the eye.
Whilst here, wo may remind theheader, in pass-
ing, that, whon the Pennsylvania Hospital was
built, .tho site upon whioh it stands was considered
a groat way oat of town, ‘ and was usually ap-
proached by a direct path from tho city loading
across open fields; and oven us la to as thirty years
ago there were very few streets paved as low down
or as far out as this point, 1 and tho few houses
whioh wero scattered in a southwestern dirootion
beyond it were easily counted; and yet the im
mense strides of our city in that quarter have beem
moro than equalled by the growth of other quarters
which we might name.
Descending from tho cupola, without even
naming the many points of special interest which
there arrestour attention, we pass down and through
the female department of tho institution, which,
as already intimated, is much less numerously oc-
cupied, from the fact that basualtles form by far
the greater proportion, of daily secessions to the
institution, there having been of the Utter olaes
an average of no less than two per day for the last
four months. ' This is regarded as a large average,
considering that two other hospitals have gone into
"operation within tho lastfew years—the Episcopal
at Richmond, and the fit. Joseph’s, at Green Hill
cases daily occurring in their respective vicinities.
There is, indeed, much reason for supposing that
bodily accident* are annually increasing in &
greater proportion than our increase in population.
(Can it be that tho fast habits of the very fast ago
in whioh we live are Inducing a'greater reckless
ness with regard to tho hazarding of life and
limb ?)
It may here bo stated as corroborative of the
aboro remark, that the present season withns has
been'one of unusual healthiness, nor have there
been any wholesale accessions to our hospitals by
any such fearful catastrophes as, for example, tho
Burlington and .North Pennsylvania Railroad ac
cidents ; * yet notwithstanding this, the Hospital
is quite as well filled as usual at this season of the
year', and that mainly by patients for tho surgical
[department.
• proceeding westward from tho female depart
ment, by a subterraneous passage, we enter the
“boiler room.” To ,avoid tho dangers of confla
gration, as mnoh as possible, thero ftro no fires em
ployed for hoating purposes throughout tho entire
Hospital building, all tho rooms in it being warmed
by steam, by means of pipes leading from tho boil
ers into every part of the establishment, and whioh
steam, after having served its purpose] is condensed
: and descends into a largo pipe, and is again re
turned to tho boiler. Tho point, of tomporaturo
prescribed by the physicians of the institution, and
usually maintained, is sixty-eight degrees Fahren
heit. The two boilors employed for this purpose
are;,{ubalar,of twenty feet longtb, each, and in
addition to tho warming and cooking purposes to
which they are applied, they also supply the mo
tive power of a six-horso power ongiuc, in an ad
joining apartment, which, besides being used in tho
laundry department, is also employed in pumping
water into large tanks at tho top of the building—
it having boon found by experience, that the water
in the Fairmount basin is high onoqgh for all pur
poses theoretically, but not practically!
Tho groat washing machine employed in this es
tablishment is deoijledly the roost complote and in
genious piece of inoobanism of its class'tliatl have
over examined..
Tho great tub, or churn, into which the olothes are
placed, is about aix feet in length, with a diameter
of five feet. It has a small door in ono end of it
for the admission of clothes to be washed; aftor
receiving which, the cold water, hot water, or
steam, os they may bo required, are admitted by
moans of pipes attached for that purpose; tho
bands axe then attached to the pullies, and the
machine is set in motion, which is so arranged as
to make eight revolutions each way, alternately, v
with great rapidity.
When this operation has boon continued long
enough, tho Buporfluous water is ejected from tho
vessel by means of a. valve for that purpose, after
which the washed clothes are removed and placed
into a wringer no less complete in its character
than the waahor itself. The drying department
of the laundry is. also very efficiently arranged;
though, os‘the patients are generally biased in
favor ,of air-drying, lines in the open yard are
always used for that purpose when tho weather
.will admit of it.
There aro a multitude of other points of interest,
:to which I should gladly refer were it not for tho
already protracted length of this Sketch. The part
of the institution devoted to colored persons and
oases of venoroal diseasosisdetochod/rom the main
building about fifty yards, though pationts of the
lattor.clflss aro never admitted Into tho hospital
at all,, excepting cases of homeless sailors.
But ! must not dopoludo without apaesingglance
ofc one or two speolal points in the garden depart
ment of this beneficent institution. The grounds,
as the most'casual passer-by will ,doubtless have
observed, are every way beautiful and attractive,
and must be exceedingly wooing to the convalescent
patient, after enduring for wceks upon a couch of
agony, surrounded on all sides with fellow-sufferers.
There aro, howovor, very properly, portionsof tho
grounds to which .the patients are not admitted,
; though both the males and females of the Hospital
hare ooch a apace in the ample yard allotted to
them Snffioiohtly 'capacious and luxuriant for all
practical purposes,- «.. ■
Tho choice floral beds which decorate a portion
of these grounds,exhale their volatile odors so fra
grantly ‘ that tho entire enclosure is really scented
with their doUghtful fames, and any one haring a
desiro to realize, as practically ns possibly, tho two
oxtremcß of human' suffering and human enjoy
ment, in the shortest period of time, can probably

THE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER* 22, 1857.
of Philadelphia made his treaty with the Indians
in the autumn of 1082.
Jt appears,-whon the old Elm was blown down In
1810, a Mr. Peter Brown, of Kensington, outasoion
from its branches and planted it in a port of the
Pennsylvania Hospital grounds, on tho west sido of
Ninth street. But ns those grounds woro sold by
the institution in 1830, and seoing that tho scion of
tho old tree was now likely to bo demolished at tho
hands of brick and mortar improvement, Mr. Ma
lin repaired to the young, tree, out several scions
from it, and planted them in tho prosont Hospital
grounds, of whioh, howevor, there was but one that
grew, and a boautiful tree it is—in no way un
worthy of its distinguished ancestor. A very rare
specimen of a tree is hore also shown—tho Giuko,
an oxotio imported from Japan. From tbe fine,
healthy condition of a few of theao trees in Green
wood Cemetery, it is evident that ourclimate is not
uncongenial to its growth. There aro also sovoral
luxuriant fruit trees in tho Hospital yard, among
which are two English walnuts, and a Sicklo po&r |
yet, from tho depredations of a rauch-praised pot,
recently introduced as an additional attraction to
our public squares, nouo of the fruit on eitbor of
these frees is allowed to mature.
The squirrels from Washington Square aro tho
depredators in this instance, and their villanous
use, or raf&or abase, especially of the pear, is
curious enough. Beneath the tree aro bushels of
the unripe fruit, each pear being cut in half with
almost as muoh nicety os if tho operation had beon
performed with a knife, and from which tho seeds
are extracted; tho seeds alone constituting the
gustatory booty that attracts the incursions of
these quadruped filibusters.
Directly opposite to the corthom entrance is a
neat monument orooted to tho memory of Charles
Nicholas, who was a large bonefactor to tho insti
tution, and died in 180 T. There aro very strong
evidences, howevor, that tho money ho donated
was merely so much paid to purchaso, to a cer-
the exemption of his dead body from the
table of the dissecting-room. I have not space to
narrate tho partioulars.
By tho sido of Nioholas, or at least within the
distauco of a few feet, reposo tho remains of tho
wife of Stephen Girard, unmarked* by even
tho humblest tombstone.' To • most of our
readers it is known that this unfortunate
lady died in the insane department of this in
stitution* after a confinement in it of twenty-six
years. But it is a foot not generally known, that
Stephen Girard, some years before his death, whilst
walking through the grounds of tho Hospital, in
conversation with Thomas F. Cope, remarked
to tho lattor, that when he died ho wished to bo in
terred bosido the remains of his wifo; though tho
by no means flattering antecedents of Girard to
wards his wife, and the fact of his specifying no
eaoh request in his will, afford probably sufficient
reason to show that it had been mcroly ovanosoent
on his part; at any rato, as ovory ono knows, this
request was never regarded.
I have thus allndod to tho Pennsylvania Hospi
tal rather lengthily; yet if tho reader is not amply
rewarded in its perusal, from first to last, tho fault
will cortainly be with tho writer, and not with his
subjoot, as the institution itself is ono in which
many of our beßt and most Influential citliens are
deeply interested, and toward whioh thore aro,
perhaps, none of any intolligcnco who feel an en
tire indifferonoo.
The History of this Institution , in whioh will
be incorporated some very pleasing allusions to
many names which Philadolphians'are proud to
number among their ancestors, will constitute tho
subject of a futuro article.

/CHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.—
vV TUB ILLINOISOENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
is now prepared to sell about 1,600,000 acres of choice
Panning lands, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
long credits, and at low rates of interest.
These lands wore granted by-the Government to aid
In tho construction of this Rood, and are among the
richest and moßt fertile in the world. They extend
from North-East and North-West, through tho middle
of the State, to the extremo South, and include every
variety of climate and productions found between those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion Is chiefly
pralrio, interspersed with fine groves, and In the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful prairies and opoulnru.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part of the country-—the air is pure aua bra
cing, while living streams and springs of excellent
water abound.
Dituminoos Coal is extensively rained, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many
points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the
same rate per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality Also abounds,
which can he procured for llttlo more th&a the expense
of transportation.
Tho great fertility of these lands, which are a black
rich mould, from two to Are feet deep, and gently roll
ingj their contiguity to this road, by which every Tael
lity is furnished for travel and transportation to the
principal markota North, South. East, West, and the
economy with which they can do cultivated, render
them tho moat valuablo investment that can be found,
and present tho most favorable opportunity for persons
of Industrious habits and small moans to acquire a com*
fortablo independence in a few years.
Ob icago iB now the greatest gram market in the world;
and tho facility and economy with which tho products
of these lands con be transported to that market, make
them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than
those more remote at government rates, as the addi
tionnl cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the
tatter, which must do borne by tho producer, in the re*
duced price he receives for his grain, &c.
The title is perfect—and when tho final payments are
made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
the Statu, and in whom the title is vested, to the pur
chasers, which convey to them absolute titles Inleo sim
ple, free and dear ofewery incumbrance, lien or mort
gage.
The prices are from fO to 130: interest only 3 per ct.
Twonty pur ct. will ho deducted from the price for cash.
Those who purchase on longcredit, give notes payable
In two, three, four, fivoand sixyours afterdate, and ate
required to improve ono-tenth annually for five years,
so as to have one-half tho land under cultivation at the
end of that time.
Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish
to oxamino theso Lands, free of charge, and aid them in
making selections.
Tho Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have been disposed of.
