The pay patients alone are now defraying half the expeusosof operation, and many more patients could be|received if there were'only room for them The white ward particularly is al most always crowded. The object of the Hospitaljboard iu sqekiug to raise more mouey is to enlarge these quarters. It is possible.that a German will be danced the latter part of the evening on Maroh 11th. At any rate, the ball will be mode a bril liant social affair, and will be largely patronized by both visi tors uud homo people.
