45. 8d. is 12 percent, for his money; 75. is 18 

 per cent. Yet in fpite of fuch facts do the lazy, 

 trifling, inattentive, negligent, Jlobbering y pro- 

 fligate owners of Irifh mountains leave them,

 Shame to fuch afpiritlefs conduct ! 



One- third of Waterford mountain at 6d. an 

 acre, and two-thirds at 73. Twenty miles on 

 the coaft in length, and eight or ten in breadth, 

 is under dairies, of which the rent per acre is 

 little known, farms being paid for by the cows 

 they will maintain, at 503. each. Thefe dairies 

 rife to 50 and even 100 cows. They all keep 

 great numbers of hogs, which increafe every 

 day from the high price. The ftate of the poor 

 people much better than formerly > they ufed 

 to have one acre of potatoes, and the grafs of 

 one cow for their year's labour, and no more, 

 and were much greater flaves than at prefent. 



. Tillage does not thrive in the county ; it has,

 garvon, from whence there has been a toler- 

 able export of corn ; not only from its neigh- 

 bourhood, but alib from a diftance, owing to 

 the mobs of Clonmell and Carrick flopping 

 corn going to Waterford, which has injured 

 the latter town. 



October 1 5th, left New Town, and keeping 

 on the banks of the Sure, pafled through Car- 

 rick to Curraghmore, the feat of the Earl of 



Tyrone.
