LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS....PART 2 PENRITH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. - The secretaryship of this Society has become vacant by the resignation of MR. T. BOWSTEAD, of Edenhall, who, after 13 years of official connection with the Society, has wrought it up to a state of great prosperity, leaving a balance on hand at the close of the financial year of upwards of £70. MR. BOWSTEAD's resignation will be a great loss to the Society, though we are glad to say that having been placed on the committee, his valuable services will still be available in the interests of the Society. BOWLING MATCH - PENRITH v. KENDAL. - A match was played at Kendal on Thursday afternoon, between a side belonging to that place and a similar number of players from Penrith. The weather up to the opening of the game was most unpromising, though it proved a beautiful afternoon, and the green was considerably improved by the quantity of rain that had fallen. There was some very good play, Kendal making 106 and Penrith 8, the former carrying off the sweepstakes that followed, and which were divided among Messrs. R. WINDER, E. S. WINDER, W. JACKSON, J. MONKHOUSE, and J. CARRADUS, as time would not permit them to be played out. A DANGEROUS DOG. - A cabinet maker in Penrith, named JAMES SCOTT, complained to us that as he went down Rowcliffe Lane, on Saturday last, a terrier dog belonging to a person named VARTY came without any warning behind him, and seizing him by the calf of his leg, left a serious lacerated wound. He immediately went for treatment to DR. ROBERTSON's, who informed him that he was the third person who had come to him through being bitten by the same dog. This being the case, it would appear that it is more than time that the dog should be looked after, and his propensities for this sort of thing checked. A "CHEAP" TRIP AND WHAT IT COST. - At the excursion to Redcar and Saltburn, on Friday last, a young man named THOMAS NICHOLSON, a son of MR. NICHOLSON of the "Slip Inn" near Barras, came to grief. The carriage in which the young man was returning was occupied by a rather boisterous crew, all of whom were more or less under the influence of "John Barleycorn". Quarrelling, ending in fighting, ensured, and when the train was approaching Darlington station, young NICHOLSON either jumped out voluntarily or was involuntarily kicked out. Fortunately he was not injured by his fall, though he was considerably bruised about the face by the fighting in which he had been previously engaged. The train was soon brought to a stand-still, and NICHOLSON was spoken to in terms of rebuke by the guard. He retorted again in strong language, refused to take his place in the train, and after a good deal of noise, he was taken by a policeman and placed in "durance vile", the train being despatched without him. Next morning he was brought before the magistrates for getting out of the train when in motion, and was ordered to pay the penalty of his transgression by handing out the sum of £1 14s. 6d., including costs. His trip, therefore, could not be said to be a "cheap" one, unless the experience he has gained should make the youth a wiser man.
