Christmas day Mr.. Joseph :. MARTA, the iii 81
eDt lntendant Of the Washington Asylum, ever
mindful OF the wants of the poor u0fortunat-s
placed Under his charge, furnished for he IN
mates OF The institution a most excellent and
substantial Christmas dinner, consisting of
boilso corn beef, potatoes, turnIps. roast gooSs
with apple sauce. raisin bread, cakes, &c, Diu
ner was placed upon the table between one and
two O'Clock, and the inmates OF the aim sbouse,
TO the number of one hundred and forty aud
seventy from the wOrkhouse, did ample JUS
tlce to the good things placed before them. The
yiands Were not only carved, bnt personally
served by Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, who paid
special attention TO their numerous family and
saw that all had enough, and had the salts fac

The sanitary condition Of this Institution IL
most excellent, the atmosphere OF the TO Jms

very cleanly but warmly and respectfully
clothed. We are informed that during the pas I
SIX months the expenses of the asylum have
been several thousand dollars less than they
were during the corresponding six months OF
last year, and Mr.. Martin appears to be conti-
dent that by the end of the present fiscal year
he will be able to show q reduction Of the ex.
penditures Of AT least one-fOurth from that OF
the previous year. This saving has not, how
ever, been effected by cutting down the ra-
tons or curtailing any of the PRIV ileges of the
