REFRESHMENT ROOM FOR
   MARYPORT STATION.
 
    The new refreshment room at Maryport railway station is fast approaching completion and will be opened in the next few weeks. The Maryport Coffee Tavern Company have taken the premises, and refreshments will be supplied from the Coffee Tavern. This will meet a long felt want to passengers at the Maryport Station.

SILLOTH.
 
    The visitors to this favourite seaside resort are beginning to put in an appearance. The air, being dry and bracing and free from damp or fog, is found to be particularly adapted to invalids. The east winds which have been prevalent for the last few weeks have much retarded the ingress of vessels at this port, but those leaving have been greatly assisted by them.
