  Notes: The New Mount Hope Hospital. — The work on the new Mount Hope Hospital, six miles from the city on the Reisterstown road, has been continued during the past summer and fall seasons, and it now begins to assume proportions which will afford accommodations for a large number of patients. The main building is nearly complete, thus affording an excellent culinary department, as well as providing parlors and business rooms, which before had to be taken from the wing already completed. The bricks are all made and burned on the farm, and the improvements about the institution gives it an air of some comfort and pleasantness. It is surrounded by old forest trees, while many ornamental trees have been planted. The centre building is so nearly finished that early in the spring it will be ready for occupancy. The contractors, Messrs. S.H. Adams & Brother, are still pushing the work forward, and the structure has the appearance of great strength, as well as convenience for the purpose of its protectors.
