INFLUENCE OF THE WEATHER ON PAUPERISM.-,
There being a decrease in the number of inmates of the
Holborn Union Workhouse at the present time, compared
with the same period last year, of 29, the master was asked
to what cause he attributed the decrease; and he said, the
fine weather we have had of late has caused fish and vege-
tables to be plentiful and cheap, and the poor people have
been able to get a living. If the severe weather foretold
comes.on at the beginning of the year, it will make a diffe-
rence of from 50 to 70 in the house.—City Tress.
