THE FOLLY OF AVARICE.—A very strong proof
:
the folly of farmers holding their corn in expecta"oii
of realising enormous prices, has just been communicated
to us by a gentleman of this town, who is well acquainted,
with the circumstances here represented. It appear
that recently a farmer, in the neighbourhood of Beverleft
commenced thrashing some wheat, for which,
niae
months ago, ho refused 70s. per quarter, and ate'
labouring from seven until eleven in the morning, her
succeeded in obtaining four quarters seven bushels °a
corn, and the enormous number of 3,250 mice.
Th
lobs sustained by this farmer ought to operate as:
caution to those similarly engaged, that those vir."
hoard their grain whilst so many thousands are stall
for the want of food, may eventually become seridu
losers.—Hull Advertiser.
