the earliest heard of in the Dale. There is an old saying to the effect:
 
"A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay."

Mr. Tom NEWBY, of Muncaster Head, has lost his prize herdwick tup. It was  
his intention to exhibit him during the coming season. The loss of so valuable  
an animal is a serious one, as he was a most successful prize winner.

In Eskdale Notes of the "News" last Thursday, the attention of the  constable 
was called to the swearing on Sunday evenings, also to the conduct of  some 
boys towards a girl, but nothing was said about the language regularly used  by 
the scholars at the High School during recess to passers by. This is a matter 
 that needs particular attention, and the residents would be pleased if the  
inspector would take notice of this.
