 rable additions to the Ferry-Iioufe Inn, for 

 the accommodation of vifitors.

 s, wwl-fair at Kefwic.k, which has for its ob- 

 je6 to give encouragement to the improvers 

 of wool over the widely-extended rjiountaiii- 

 qus diltrids of Cumberland and Weftmore- 

 land, by enfuring to the farmer a price pro- 

 portioned to the improved quality of liis ar- 

 ticle. The firlVme^ri.ig for this purpofe will 

 tc held on the iid of Auyuft.

 a convincing proof thr\t a larger proportion of
