Writer.
Trustee Of the Poor N. B. Calbert has
received an anonymous letter Ia which
the writer complains that Superintend-
ent Mccoy is not properly administering
the affairs Of the almshouse. The speci
fcations are that the food strved to the
inmates Is of poor quality and often
scsnty In quantity The meat Is unfit TO
eat, and the bread is often sour But
little milk finds its way into the coffee
served TO the un fortunate inmates. The
writer conclude by asking Mr. Cnlbert
to investigate the management Of the
institution and to take remedial meas
ures He gives as a reason for not sign
ing his name that II might prejudice the
superintendent against some of the un-
fortunates under bis care.

welfare Of both the paupers and the tax
payers at heart, called at the EVENING

The meat is reported by the superin-
