The North Carolinian

The Hoardings of a Pauper.--In one of the alms-houses in England, a woman named Anna Steele recently died, and among her ragged clothes and scanty effects were found several parcels containing, in bank notes and gold and silver, the sum of 150l, or $750. This woman had been receiving parish relief for many years; and the more extraordinary part of the story is, that she is supposed to have inherited part of his property from her mother, who had also, for many years, been an inmate of the alms-house. Such incidents combine, with many other considerations, to recommend work-houses instead of alms-houses.
