SUICIDE OF A DESERTER. A man named PALMER (formerly a draper in Penrith), was handed over to an escort of the 93rd Highlanders by the Penrith police on the 29th ult., on a charge of desertion, and on Wednes- day week the unfortunate young soldier cut his throat in a most shocking manner, at Chatham Garrison. WILFUL MURDER AGAINST SOME PERSON OR PERSONS UNKNOWN. We reported a week or two ago that the body of a male child - newly born- had been found in a hole in a dyke, on the turnpike road between Grasmere and Keswick. An inquest has been held this week; and a verdict of “Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown” been returned. THE LAKES. A correspondent at Bowness says: – Every hotel is packed, and sleeping out has been the experience of very many pleasure-seekers. The hotels on Windermere and Derwentwater are excessively overcrowded. Holiday makers are enjoying a larger continuance of fine, sunny, and rainless weather than has been known at the lakes for a considerable time. The coaches and chars-a-banc are either run in duplicate or supplemented with waggonettes, so great is the demand for places; and the steam yachts are simply thronged wherever you go. The pedestrians were never known to be so numerous. COOL ! On Sunday last, MR. HALL, farmer at Gale House, near Appleby, gave infor- mation to the police that two men named BURROWS had gone into an outhouse of his and were smoking their pipes there. They refused to go away when he requested them; and he was frightened that they would set the building on fire. P.C. RONEY was sent back with MR. HALL to look after the matter. As the two approached the outbuilding, they saw smoke coming out of its windows, and coming still nearer, they found that the hay within it was on fire. The two prisoners were sitting in front of the fire doing nothing to put it out ! They were taken into custody. It was not till damage to the amount of £40 had been done that the fire could be extinguished. The men have been sent to gaol for three months. APPLEBY BREWSTER SESSIONS. The annual licensing meeting for the East Ward Division of the county of Westmorland was held on Thursday, the 3rd inst. at the Shire Hall, before WM. HOPES, Esq., REV. T.

    1. [ENG-WESTMORLAND] PENRITH HERALD, September 12, 1874 / SUMMARY OF PASSING EVENTS (re Manitoba, Canada)
    2. Barb Ontario Canada via
    3. PENRITH HERALD, September 12, 1874 SUMMARY OF PASSING EVENTS. (re: Manitoba, Canada) MR. W. G. FINNEY, writing from Ealing, has sent to the ‘Times’ two long letters containing valuable information respecting Manitoba and the Great North-West, which cannot fail to prove serviceable to emigrants. The ideas and general impressions entertained with regard to this region are so erroneous that it may be difficult for some people to give ready credence to statements of an opposite kind. Nevertheless MR. FINNEY’s testimony as to the cultivatible capabilities of that part of the Dominion called the “Fertile Belt” affords internal evidence of truthfulness. The length of the Belt is 960 miles, and its average breadth about 250 miles, thus giving 240,000 square miles, of which one-fourth, at the least calculation, is fit for raising wheat and barley. In general appearance the country is said to resemble an immense pasture-field, dotted with clumps of willows and aspens, salt-lakes and fresh-water ponds, ridges, hills, and wide-spread plains. It is essentially a stock-raising land, and MR. FINNEY endorses the opinion that the time is not far distant when the North-West Provinces will be the great emporium for animal food. Some idea of the fertility of the soil of Manitoba (meaning literally “God’s dwelling place” in the Indian language) may be gathered from the fact that fields on the Red River have been known to produce forty successive crops of wheat without fallow or manure. The average yield is 40 bushels per acre. Oats, again, average 60 bushels, weighing over 40 lb. to the bushel. The root crops are also described as being superb; onions, weighing over a pound each, and turnips, carrots, beets, pumpkins, and so forth, being of magnificent growth. Such vegetables as celery, cauliflowers, and cucumbers thrive with corresponding vigour and luxuriance. The climate is pronounced to be remarkably healthy. Though winter nominally lasts five months, the three months of winter proper are December, January, and February, during which the cold is greatest, though the fall of snow is not more than six inches per month. Winter there is said to be the most enjoyable of all the seasons on account of the dry atmosphere, the cloudless days and starry nights. In the waters, excellent fish abound. Gold, silver, and copper, have been found, and a specimen of coal was picked up on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg. In their proper seasons fruits of excellent quality and large size are produced, and there is likewise abundance of game, including moose deer, prairie chicken, and partridges. Winnipeg, the chief town of these provinces, is situated at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, and is certain to become the emporium for the rapidly developing trade of Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba. It will thus be seen that Manitoba, which is not so very difficult of access, promises many advantages for emigration purposes over other parts of the Dominion of Canada. ____________________________________________________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada.

    3. PENRITH HERALD, September 12, 1874 POEM by Figaro. LODGINGS AT.......................... Talk of a beehive ! You should see The house we live in, beside the sea ! Human bee-ings fill our hive, Numbering fully twenty-five; A queen-bee rules us, fierce and free..... She bears the title of landlady. Her subjects we, each in his cell, At best, in armed truce do dwell..... For the queen-bee’s mood is short and rude, And oft in a row has she fiercely stood. ‘Tis best to refrain from an interview Till one’s bill is paid, and ones fly in view. Some foreign ladies, we are told, The first-floor back have hired and hold; The foreign ladies seem to know Some foreign “gents”, who come and go; Set in all day, a living stream, Upon the stair, like Jacob’s dream; While ceaseless, endless, thrum, thrum, thrum, Their instrument is never dumb. A widow lady lives below; Sweet “olive shoots” she has to show, Six healthy children round the door, Shriek, fight, and howl, and whoop and roar; Whilst a nigger-troupe each day at ten Arrives to please the little men. All in one room, a broken clan, Perchance where erst was placed the coal There now abides a human soul. But more than all our busy hive At feeding time is most alive..... Short, angry cries, with hunger riled, Alternate with the howl of child, As, struggling up the narrow stair, The mutton tough the slaveys bear; Such is the den in which live we, Of females, children – but no man - Promiscuously seem to dwell, And form a Babel or a hell. Scufflings within are daily heard, As if in deadly fight they stirred; One almost feels amazed no gore Is seen to trickle ‘neath the door, Mysterious lodgers, too, there are, Seen once or twice, like some lone star; But how they live or where they dwell, Is what no mortal man can tell. You might call it menagerie ! Yet when the sun shines clear and bright, And we live out all day and light, We seem content to calmly stay, And guineas six per week to pay, Take good with bad, and let things be Within our home beside the sea. ...............................................................Figaro. ___________________________________________________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada.

Here's wishing you well for 2016, without any flooding too! My family seem to have been ok during this last round. Very traumatic to see Pooley Bridge go down though. That is a real landmark and has been for 251 years (or there about). My Auntie in Penrith said that the only flooding they experienced was at Eamont Bridge just a short distance from her house (my Uncle Edgar Craig passed away about a year ago, but she's still in their house at 87 years old), Have a joyous New Year!

    3. Saturday 06 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 2-3) The Globe of Tuesday, says,—The statement in The Carlisle Patriot is not correct, that it is intended to send down to the four Northern Counties this spring, a Sergeant-at-Law, with a commission for a gaol delivery. But the Judges on the Northern Circuit (if they have time) will be at liberty to extend their circuit."—This may be true—but we derived our statement from pretty good authority. The potatoe pits belonging to various farmers in this neighbourhood have lately been plundered of a part of their contents. On Sunday evening last, a man named Samuel M'MORRISON, from Scotland, gave out that he had been stopped upon Hissop Holme Banks, very near Carlisle, by three men, who robbed him of upwards of twenty three pounds. From various circumstances, this man is considered an impostor: the reader will judge of the probability of his story on perusing the following substance of a deposition which he made before the Chief Magistrate of this City:— His name is Samuel M'MORRISON, is a labourer, and lives at the Claghan of Dariah [?], in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, county of Galloway. On Saturday the 25th of Feb. last, he borrowed from Samuel MOFFAT, of Augenhasting, Sanquhar, (a laird) the sum of £10; he told MOFFAT that he was going either to Glasgow or Carlisle to buy cottons, corduroys, and handkerchiefs, for the purpose of selling again. MOFFAT was quite willing to lend him the money, asked him for no security, but deponent gave him a memorandum on plain paper; the money consisted wholly of one pound notes of the Bank of Scotland. He had cash of his own, consisting of one £5 note, and eight one pound notes of the Bank of Scotland, and 10s. 6d. in silver; he has three sons and four daughters; the eldest son is 15 years of age, and the daughters are all younger; none of them work, and such as are fit, go to school; he has not had but a few day's close work for a year past; was never any thing but a labourer, and never had any thing from the poor's box. On Friday morning the 27th Feb. he took all this money out of his chest, rolled it up in a piece of paper, and left home about nine o'clock. He did not stop till he came to Collin Tollbar, about 3 miles this side of Dumfries, where he had tea, for which he paid 1s. but did not take out his notes. He left this place between 7 and 8 o'clock on Saturday morning and came to Annan, where he arrived about three o'clock—did not stop on the road, except to speak to one Wm. GRAHAM, whom he met. At Annan he only had a dram of whiskey, his supper, and his breakfast on Sunday morning, and held communication with no one. He left Annan about ten on Sunday morning, came on without stopping, crossed the ferry at Rocliff by IRWIN's boat, and continued his journey till he reached a public house (Cargo Lane End) about 3 miles from Carlisle, where he had a pint of ale. Here he stopped only a very short time, and then proceeded onwards for Carlisle. Between the public house and Kingmoor, he passed two young men who looked like farmer's servants, with reddish hair; one had on a blue coat and trowsers, and the other a blue coat, and drab breeches and leggings—it was then quite light and clear. He proceeded onward until he came within a few yards of the chair upon the Terrace at Etterby Hill, where he met three men—two of them had blue coats and clear buttons; one breeches and shoes, and the other dark pantaloons; the third had a white coat, and light waistcoat und breeches. The man with the white breeches and blue coat, made a push at him with a spear or sharp instrument, which cut through his waistcoat and shirt, grazing his breast, at the same time he called out "stop!"—another seized him by the collar, and the third presented a pistol at him, and said, "not a word, or I'll take your life." The man with the dark trowsers ran his hands down deponent's sides feeling for money about his breast; he (the man) then proceeded to examine all his pockets and took the £23 out of his waistcoat pocket, and 10s. 6d. in silver and some copper, out of his left hand trowser-pocket.—The last work that deponent had, was at John BELL's, at Blackwhairn, in Nov. last; he worked four days for him at 1s. per day and his victuals; he had seven days' work before that at John M'ROBERTSON's taking up potatoes at 1s. per day; previous to that he had had no work for more than half a year.—Soon after he was robbed, he met a Gentleman and a Lady near the place where the men stopped him, and told them what had happened; he then met another man and told him the same, after which he went in search of KIRK the constable. Has no hawker's licence, nor ever dealt in cotton goods. This is M’MORRISON's story—certainly a very strange if not an improbable one. It is rather singular that a labouring man with a large family should possess so much spare cash after having been so long out of work. There is also an error in the dates at the commencement. New Potatoes were exposed for Sale in Brampton Market, on Wednesday last, by Mr. Thomas BOUSTEAD, of Easby. Mr. LAIDLAW, of Hill, near Gilsland, was unfortunately drowned in the river Irthing, on the night of Wednesday the 24th ultimo, as he was returning from Brampton Market, having, as is supposed, missed his way, owing to the darkness of the night. On Sunday night last, some person or persons made an attempt to break into the warehouse of Mr. FORSTER, in Lowther-street and Chapel-street, Whitehaven, by breaking a pane in the window which fronts into the latter street; but finding that there were iron bars across the window on the inside, they contented themselves with taking a pair of shoes, some shoe brushes, and other articles of little value, which happened to be within their reach. Last week, Robert KEY was committed to Appleby gaol, charged with breaking into the weaving shop of Richard HUXTON, at Grayrigg, and stealing therefrom a quantity of linen cloth and linen yarn. Mr. Thos. RATCLIFFE, of North Shields, killed two oxen, of extraordinary beauty and fatness last week. One called "the Flower of Scotland," bred by Mr. STEWARD, of Duncarne Willie, Fifeshire, was exhibited at Mr. CURWEN's agricultural show.
