We are not aware whether the following curious
story be actual, or colored, or invented but at any
rate, ii non zero ben tOrdto:

celebrated snuff manufacturer originally kept .
! small tobacconist's shop at Limerick. One night
! his house, which was uninsured, was burnt to the
/ ground. As he contemplated the smoking ruins
on the following morning in a state bordering on
despair some Of the poor nelghbors Cropping among
the embers for what they could find, stumbled upon
several canisers of uuconsumed but half baked snuff
which they tried, aud found 1t 30 graceful to their
noses that they loaded their was;coa' pockets with
the spoil. Lunday Foot reused from his stupor, al

the superior pungency and flavor it had acquired

Treasuriug up this valuable hint, he took anot he
house 10 place called Black Yard and, preparing
a large for the purpose, set diligently about
the manufacture Of that mgh-dred commodity
which soon became widely known Black YarC
