Eighty patients have been admitted during the year under the Act of Assembly 33rd Victoria, Chap. 25, for seventy nine of whom either a Warrant on the County Treasurer, or cash, have been received; and one from Saint

John County half cash, and Warrant for half, also received ; and for one admitted from King's County, the Magistrates have failed to forward a Warrant. Sixty Warrants on County Treasurers, twenty dollars each—say twelve hundred dollars, and one for ten dollars, making in all twelve hundred and ten dollars—have been put into the hands of R. W. Crookshank, Esquire, for collection. The money for eighteen at twenty dollars—say three hun- dred and sixty dollars, and for one ten dollars, making in all three hundred and seventy dollars—will be paid to the credit of the Provincial Receiver General * at the Bank of . The amount received from this source for five years from 1870 to 1874 inclusive, (see last year's Report), is five thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars. The receipts for this year from Orders on County Treasurers is twelve hundred and ten dollars, and cash to the credit of the Receiver Gene- ral three hundred and seventy dollars, making a total for six years of seven thousand five hundred and forty dollars.

In treating the insane, brandy, wine, and ale, and all stimulants that they represent, should be given on the same general principles that govern the gene- ral physician in prescribing them, and brandy with milk for food in some cases is indispensable. Ordinary drugs should be used also in treating the phy- sical diseases of the insane, as they are prescribed in common practice among the sane. Many cases of insanity depend on physical disease, and when the cause is removed, the mental difficulty disappears. Every case, however, ought to be treated on its own condition and symptoms, irrespective of pre- conceived opinions ; for example, one physician may entertain such decided views in regard to non-restraint as to try to abandon it altogether; but if a case occur where restraint would afford greater safety to the patient, and in case of violence less danger to those in attendance, and where it would pre- vent serious destruction of property, it ought certainly to be applied ; and if another case requires stimulants, they should not be denied because the prac- titioner entertains strong views on the teetotal question ; nor, on the other hand should brandy, wine, &c. be too freely given, as if they were in some measure to take the place of food. In hospitals for the insane, it is very desirable to obtain the largest measure of home comforts that can be commanded without resorting to extravagance. An abundant supply of good, wholesome, well-cooked food, also, the best arrangements possible to provide for the patients that are able and willing to work, the means to do so in a manner the most agreeable to them ; also, the means to relieve those who do engage in work, by alternating with books, amusements and recreations.

* The amount has since been p'aicl.—J. W. 8 PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUM. 1875

Overcrowding is a subject on which I have frequently written in my former Reports, but faithfulness to all the interests involved demands this further reference to the subject. On examining the "Brief Statements" at the end of this Report, it will be found under the head of " Patients remaining and in what condition," that only forty nine are returned as improved. From these, and from those who may be admitted in the course of the year, will the recoveries for the year 1876 principally come. There will also be found in the same Table two hundred and six returned unimproved. From among these but few may be expected to recover, and to this incurable class there is being made every year some additions, and the evil is steadily growing worse and worse. The building was originally designed to accommodate only two hundred. It will be observed that the crowding amounts to one in addition to every four, and the worst feature of the case is, that the house is filled to its origi- nal limit with incurables, or, with those from among whom but few may be reasonably expected to recover, and the only alternative to meet the diffi- culty is to increase the capacity of the Institution or to limit the number of patients to be admitted. In last year's Report I referred to some improvements and repairs that were then required which have not yet been made, but I deem it unnecessary to make further reference to the subject, feeling assured that they will be attended to at your earliest convenience. On the whole, the house is in as good a condition as it can well be put under the circumstances. The Farm and Garden have been cultivated with our usual care and atten- tion, and have produced an unusually large crop. This department has always had a fascination for the writer, and he has always taken an interest in it, but in no year of his superintendence has he been more gratified with the results than the past one.

At the commencement of the farming and gardening operations it required the years of 1850 and 1851 to reduce the rough land to make the necessary preparations for a crop. In 1852 we secured our first return, the proceeds from that date to 1874 inclusive, say twenty three years, was twenty six thousand three hundred and seven dollars eighty eight cents, as is stated in last year's Report. This year the amount received was one thousand one hundred, and eighty six dollars ninety nine cents, making a total for twenty four years, twenty seven thousand four hundred and ninety four dollars eighty seven cents. Newspapers, &c, have been continued gratuitously by their generous pro- prietors, and I desire, on the part of our household, to thank them most sincerely for their thoughtfulness and liberality. There is no kind of litera- ture that insane persons peruse with greater gratification than the newspaper, especially when it contains the news of the locality whence they come.

The following are the Papers, &c. received : —" The Patriot " and " Argus," Charlottetown, P. E. Island; "Religious Intelligencer" and "Christian " " Visitor," St. John, N. B. ; Saint Croix Courier," Saint Stephen ; Union 1875 PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUM. 9

" " Advocate," Newcastle ; The Times," Moncton ; and also The Christian

Work," London, England ; besides these, the Rev. G. M. Armstrong con- tributed for the use of the patients a large package, unbound, of the illus- trated paper, " The Graphic." To that benevolent Rev. Gentleman our thanks are hereby cordially tendered. I had the privilege of attending the annual meeting of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane, held in Auburn, New York, last May. The meeting was well attended, and able and valuable papers were read on subjects connected with the care and treat- ment of the insane ; and the discussions which followed, elicited the views of members generally on all practical questions, each contributing to the general fund of knowledge the result of his observation and experience. The meeting was in every way interesting and instructive from a profes- sional point of view, while from social consideration, it was extremely grati- fying to renew old friendships and form new ones among Gentlemen engaged in the same interesting and benevolent work. Last year I gave a brief account of the origin and progress in developing this Institution, and thought at the time I had mentioned the name of every one who had been engaged in the work. On looking over afterwards, how- ever, I regretted to find that I had altogether omitted the name of the Hon. Mr. Anglin. As Commissioner, that Gentleman was always active in the discharge of his official duties in relation to the Institution generally, and on one occasion, especially at a time and under circumstances when just such assistance as was in his power to give he most cheerfully rendered, and in doing so, laid me under personal obligations which I still remember with gratitude. The Rev. Canon Scovil, Ph. D., returned from England the 1st June last, and resumed his duties of Chaplain, and as usual, has continued them since. During his absence for about six months, the Rev. Stanley Boyd officiated for him. Mr. Boyd performed the duties with regularity, and his services were highly appreciated by all to whom he ministered. In 1852 the Chaplain was appointed. From that time to this he has attended personally to his duties, or, when absent, provided another to take his place. During all these years his attention to his Sabbath services, and to the sick and the dying, have been regular and unremitting ; and his sympathy for any of the inmates in distress of any kind, has exhibited itself in many acts of substantial kindness.

I avail myself of this opportunity to acknowledge the valuable and self- denying services of Mr. Graham and Miss Archibald. They have both held their respective appointments upwards of twenty years, and faithfully and well have they performed their several duties. I most cordially yield to them full share of any success that has been attributed to my management. I desire at the same time to accord to the staff of attendants and servants engaged in domestic and other duties, a full acknowledgment of their ser- vices, some of whom have been here ten, fifteen and over twenty years, 2 10 PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUM. 1875

Before concluding, I beg to express my sincere thanks to the Commis- sioners, and to their Secretary, for all the kindness they have shewn me, and for all the assistance they have afforded me in my work.

• On retiring from my official relation to this Institution,* I have more than a little to gratify me, but the chief source whence my satisfaction arises is the result of my professional labour—in knowing that many families through- out this Province, and elsewhere, have been made happy by the return to them of patients who have been treated here and recovered, and have gone back to be a comfort to their friends and to be good members of society. And now, commending the Institution in all its interests for the future to the care and protection of Him—whose blessing is essential to success in any undertaking—and praying that He may ever watch over it and make it instrumental for good to the inmates, to their friends, and to the Province at large—I respectfully submit the twenty eighth Annual Report.

* March 3, date of printing this Report, I may add that Dr. J. T. Steeves has shared with me the charge of the Institution since 1st November last, and that he has afforded to me very valu- able assistance, and when I retire on 1st May ensuing he will assume the entire superintendence.

TRACADIE LAZARETTO.

Report on the Tracadie Lazaretto for the Year 1875.

Oak Point, Miramichi, November 18, 1875. Sir,—Another year's existence of the Board of Health for the Counties of Gloucester and Northumberland having passed away, it becomes my duty to submit a report of their proceedings for the information of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor. Since my report of the 24th November 1874, three of the lepers have died, four new cases have been admitted, and there now remains in Hospital four- teen males and eight females, —in all twenty two. The Hospital having been examined from time to time by Commissioners appointed by the Executive Government, who all report that new buildings are required ; the present ones are old, leaky, and out of repair, so much so that the Board would not recommend the Government to make any perma- nent repairs, as they look forward that new buildings will be erected. The Board are of opinion that if the cooking department came directly under the control of the Sisters in attendance on the lepers, that the expenses would be very materially lessened, the patients better attended, mentally and physically. This beneficial change would incur a small expense iu the first instance, in erecting a suitable building for a cook house within the enclosure, and adjoining the establishment. The fact of this year's expense being in excess of the preceding one, im- presses the Board with the necessity of the change. The disbursements for the past year amount to $2452.41. The Account in detail, with vouchers, have been duly forwarded to the Auditor General. The Board has to incur a small expenditure to reshingle the keeper's house, and temporary repairs about the Hospital, the cost of which was $79, to make them habitable for the past winter. The Board recommend that the sum of $2400 be granted to meet the expenditure of the coming year, including the erection of a small building required for a cook house. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, A. K M'DOUGAL, Secretary to the Board. Hon. J. J. Fraser, Provincial Secretary, . 8 TRACADIE LAZARETTO. 1875

Fredericton, 3rd Feb. 18.75. To Sheriff Vail, Bathurst,— We do not desire that Militia should be kept in Gloucester longer than is absolutely necessary.

What is your opinion as to this necessity ? Do you apprehend any attempt at rescue ? If so, would you be able to resist such attempt by aid of special

Constables ? Consult with Senator Ferguson and Clerk of Peace, and tele- graph freely your views. Special Commission will issue for trial in six or eight weeks. (Signed) G. E. KING. 20 CARAQUET RIOT. 1875

Ferguson and DesBrisay, and they think it necessary that Battery should remain as stationed here under Major Call. Am under opinion that their preseuce is useful, as people are quiet but excited. Could get special Constables, but do not think they would have the same effect as regards peace. (Signed) ROBT.^B. VAIL.

Frederieton, February 3rd, 1875. To Hon. R. Young, Caraquet,— We all think it desirable that Militia should remain in Gloucester no longer than is absolutely necessary, and it appears to us, at this distance, that quiet has been restored at Caraquet. If, with your better means of knowledge, you think differently, please telegraph. Have sent subjoined Telegraph to Sheriff Vail. (Copy to Sheriff Vail.) (Signed) GEO. E. KING.

Copy of Telegram in reply from Hon. R. Young to Attorney General, 4th February 1875.

Caraquet, Uh February ,1875. Hon. G. E. King,— The Militia have all left Caraquet for home, via Bathurst. I entirely agree with you that they should not be kept in the County one hour longer than

is absolutely necessary. I cannot say anything myself with regard to Bath- urst. Senator Ferguson, DesBrisay aud Bathurst Magistrates are of opinion that thirty of the Militia should be kept at Bathurst to protect the jail and public offices until jail is delivered. I saw letter from Major Call, in which he mentions there was great excitement on Monday evening, and it was thought at one time an attempt would be made to rescue prisoners. The Militia were got in readiness, and the fact of their being on hand prevented a rising on the part of the mob. I cannot leave here just now, as I have to attend at examination before Rive of four of the rioters who were in Albert's house when Gifford was murdered, meanwhile communicate with Senator Ferguson and DesBrisay direct. to (Signed) R. YOUNG.

Report current here that a special Court is to be held. If so, could you let me know when, as it is inconvenient for me to keep the woman longer, and I feel safe to leave while the Battery

is in charge, and the woman is now strong enough to travel. (Signed) ROBT. B. VAIL. — — ;

Fraseb,— All merchants aud leading inhabitants of Caraquet have sent me the fol- lowing letter: " We, the undersigned, consider it necessary for you to retain a force of eight or ten special Constables to protect persons and property of loyal sub- jects of Caraquet. It is our opinion that should the whole force be removed, it is likely, we fear, that trouble would ensue." I intended sending away the men to-day. Shall I comply with the above request? The Militia left here last week, as advised. The force referred to above, are the men sent here by Sheriff of Newcastle. The last of the pris- oners were sent from here Saturday, sixth. Application will be made to the Legislature to establish Police Force here. (Signed) R. YOUNG.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK.

ESeport oiB the University and Collegiate School for 18?;*.

The Honorable Samuel Leonard Tilley, C. B., Lieutenant Governor of the Province of New Brunswick, $c. $c. $c. May it Please Your Honor,— As required by law, I beg to submit to Your Honor the following Report on the University of New Brunswick and the Collegiate School for the year 1875. The Professors engaged in the College are the same as during the previous year, and continue to devote themselves, as heretofore, to the assiduous dis- charge of their respective duties. The students have in general pursued their studies with commendable diligence and success, and their conduct has been such as to merit approba- tion. The number was somewhat les3 than during the two previous years. This is probably due, to a considerable extent at least, to the active demand created by the new School Law for Teachers of every grade—a demand which is not yet adequately supplied ; for employment is still readily found by all who can obtain a Provincial License, and this is more quickly secured by six months attendance at the Training School than by the longer and more laborious course required for graduation at the University. But, as the School Law will eventually elevate the standard of education and increase the value set upon intellectual attainments, the higher and more extended culture supplied by the University will soon be required for those who wish to rise in the profession and take charge of our Superior and Grammar Schools. The Grammar Schools in most of the Counties of the Province are far from accomplishing the ends for which they were originally established ; and in these quarters particularly there exists a gap between the Common Schools and the University. This seems a matter demanding the early attention of the Legislature in order that means may be devised for rendering more per- fect and complete our admirable system of public education. Other Colleges and Universities in the Dominion and elsewhere have found it highly conducive to their prosperity to have connected with them large Boarding Schools for the preparation of pupils, as on these they can generally depend for a fair supply of students. A project of this kind is now under the consideration of the University Senate; but whether they will be able, without extraneous pecuniary assistance, to put it in practice, is doubtful. For many years past, better and more extensive accommodations for our valuable Museum and Library have been so urgently needed that the Senate resolved to make an effort to supply the want. Accordingly, plans and spe- 1875 UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 23 cifications for a building for the purpose were made out, and tenders for erecting it were invited ; but it was found that the estimates so far exceeded the means at the disposal of the Senate that the erection of such a building was reluctantly abandoned. The Senate therefore have turned their atten- tion to another scheme by which it is proposed to secure the necessary ac- commodation, by putting a Mansard roof on the present University building. One thing in favour of this scheme is the fact that the tin-covering of the present roof is so worn and defective after a service of nearly half a century as to necessitate its entire renewal ; and thus the extra outlay would be only the difference between that required for putting on the Mansard and re- tinning the old roof. The Collegiate School still continues to be conducted under the joint super- vision of the Senate and the Board of School Trustees of Fredericton ; and I am happy to have to report that the Teachers are doing their work in a thorough and satisfactory manner. The Accounts of the Registrar and Treasurer hereunto annexed, will shew the various items of Income and Expenditure. I have the honor to be, Your Honor's most obedient servant, W. BRYDONE-JACK, President. University of N. B., February 24th, 1876.
