NOT SO FAR WRONG,—A schoolboy being asked
to define the word " admission," said it meant " sixpence."
" Sixpence," echoed the schoolmaster, " what sort of a
definition do you call that ?" " I don't know," replied the
boy, "but I'm sure it said so on the bill at the show in the
fair." " Yes," said another boy, "and children half-
price."

THE FROST IN THE LAKE DISTRICT—KESWICK,
Dec. 29.—During the week the frost (severer than it has
been known for the last 20 years) has been most intense in
this vicinity. Skiddaw, Saddleback, the Catbells, and the
amphitheatre chain of mountains visible from Keswick are
shrouded in snow and ice, and the whole extent of Der-
wentwater Lake, which is three miles long and one and a
half in breadth, congealed by the frost, presents the appear-
ance of a vast marble floor, offering an arena for skaters
tvhich the members of the Skating Club would be delighted
to fnld more south. From Friar's Crag to beyond Lodore,
the casc,ade immortalised by Southey, the petrified stream
has been thfOuged, and on Friday and Saturday quadrille
orties tripped on the lake to the accompaniment of the
brass band of the Skiddaw Grays Rifle Corps. On Winder.
mere, which is also a pathway of ice, a melancholy accident
happened on Friday. Robinson Martin, a young man 18
years of age, the son of the landlady of the Stag's Head,
Bowness, and Thomas Benson, were crossing the lake from
Bowness to the ferry, when, venturing on some new ice,
where a boat had been drawn the night previous, they fell
through and were both drowned. Benson has loft a wife
and family to mourn his untimely end,
