The economical housewife is cautioned by this generous firm, that to disregard the present opportunity would be the utmost excess of folly, as the whole stock is to be peremptorily sold considerably under half the cost price. The following are a few of the items: 'Irish lines, warranted genuine, 9-1/2d. per yard. Fine cambric handkerchiefs, 2s. 6d. per dozen.
On the little Zurich and Baden Railway, the only one yet in Switzerland, our traveller meets again with his old acquaintance the franc; but this is worth 14-1/2d., instead of 9-1/2d., and, moreover, it is divided into ten batzen, each of which is worth ten rappen.
St Barbara is said to be the patron saint of hills; hence perhaps her connection with Cucklington. Cudworth, a small isolated hamlet 3 m. S.E. of Ilminster. The church is a very plain building without a tower, chiefly Perp., but retaining some Dec. work, and examples of the still earlier Norm. period. Culbone, a small parish 9-1/2 m. W. of Minehead.
It appears to have given access to two more sites on which Roman coins and relics are found Foxhill about 9-1/2 acres, and Blackground about 4 acres and passing east of the present Badsey church, proceeded through Wickhamford, and by a well-defined track to Hinton-on-the-Green, and on to Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
The highest price of a silver one for a king, according to Vallancey, was thirty heifers, when made of refined silver; the lowest value attached to them being three heifers. I have seen a very large specimen, of the intrinsic value of three pounds. The pin is 9-1/2 inches long, and the circular brooch 5 inches in diameter. Larger specimens have been found and mistaken for poniards.
In the evening I shot a poku, or tsébula, full-grown male. It measured from snout to insertion of tail, 5 feet 3 inches; tail, 1 foot; height at withers, 3 feet; circumference of chest, 5 feet; face to insertion of horns, 9-1/2 inches; horns measured on curve, 16 inches. Twelve rings on horns, and one had a ridge behind, 1/2 inch broad, 1/2 inch high, and tapering up the horn; probably accidental.
A pound of the best Welsh or anthracite coal is capable of raising from 9-1/2 to 10 lbs. of water from 212° into steam, whereas a pound of the best Newcastle is not capable of raising more than about 8-1/2 lbs. of water from 212° into steam; and inferior coals will not raise more than 6-1/2 lbs. of water into steam.
When any boy has five babies he must stand against the wall and be a free target for the rest to throw the ball at. This game may be called scientific croquet. A roque mallet has a dogwood head 9-1/2 inches long, with heavy nickel ferrules. Roque balls are made of a special composition that is both resilient and practically unbreakable.
Dublin especially would suffer from this arrangement, for the duty there on coals imported was is. 8-4/5d. per ton, while that in the rest of Ireland was only 9-1/2d.
The sheet was in folio, 15 by 9-1/2 inches, of coarse, but durable paper not a characteristic, certainly, of our great newspapers now-a-days, of which the material is very flimsy; the impression was fairly executed; the price was three dollars a year. In 1794, the form was changed to a quarto, and one Tiffany had become the proprietor.
