 BERLIN

There Is no poor-house in our town; there is one in the county, but the management of it I am not acquainted with,  as we have no share in it. The paupers in our town, are commonly kept by some one, for a given sum, according to their situation, by the year or otherwise, and as they become more troublesome and old, it will cost us more of course. [Letter from the supervisor of Berlin.]
