The carcass of a large cow washed up on the beach on Saturday and was in an advanced state of decomposition.
The hotel at Holmrook, the Lutwidge Arms, is being painted and papered to be ready for the reception of visitors expected at Easter.
The chiming bells at Holmrook Hall can be heard a con- siderable distance round the village, and the sweet sounds are much enjoyed.
Mrs. J. HUDDLESTON, of Whitehaven, has considerably improved in health, after a fortnight's stay at Drigg.
It is said that more bicycles pass through Holmrock than through any other village for twelve miles around.
At a recent farm stock sale a farmer who had purchased a number of poultry carried them into the Drigg Hotel and placed them under the table in the bar, when one of the hens availed herself of the opportunity of laying an egg.
Daffodils or Lenten lilies are in great abundance this year.
