A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS,

giving to the industrious views of the proprietor a very delightful re-
source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving
the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away
ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from

cost one shilling for a party, to be had also of Messrs. Cameron and
Booty, solicitors, Gray's Inn ; of Messrs. Osborne, Ward, and Co.,
solicitors, Bristol; at the White Lion Hotel, Mists] ; White Hart,
Bath ; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.
