A circumstance took place at Cockermouth
cattle Lir, on Monday the 10th instant, which excited no
small merriment in those with whom the party is per-
fectly known. A knowing old farmer who resides many
miles from the market town of Keswick, and who is well
known in that neighbourhood for possessing a "retnarkable
propensity for rustic humour and ready wit, attended the
fair that day, for the sole purpose of disposing of an old
horse, which he well knew had ceased to possess those
qualities so requisite in an anima! of its kind. At length,
meeting with a customer, they commenced an exercise of
their trading abilities, and, as a matter of coupe, the seller
said a great deal of his horse. However, pedigree and the
Ike would not suffice; nothing but a trial of its different
paces in the street would go down. Our old friend, with
much presence of mind, recollecting there wg., a horse very
like hia in appearance, knit seemingly many years younger,
standing in tbu same stable, went and saddled the strange
horse, and with the agility of a Nimrod the other mounted
and rode off. The knowing one retired into the inn to
await his return, which not occurring so ec,o;i as he ex-
pected, began to entertain some doubt of his honesty, who,
by-the-bye, was an tutire stranger. At this moment in
comes the old man's son, who had been visiting the stable,
and knew nothing of what was going on—" Go and look
after that fellow and the horse," said the old man.
" Horse, father ? our ho -se is in the stable," answered the
son. " Thou Etat !" vociferated the old man, fearing his
son was going to let out, " go, I tell thee, and look after
the horse !" However, at this moment, the horse and
rider made their appearance, which stayed all the old mm's
fears, and his son taking the hint, took and replaced the
horse in the stable. A bargain was immediately struck;
the old man much elated with his manoeuvre, and his
friend perfectly satisfied with the apparent success of his
