AN ENORMOUS PIE.

a ASix-by-Ten Monster With Which York
shire Celebrated Famous Event.
Under different skies iubiees and cele-
brations partake ofvarying characteristics.
In Yorkshire, and in some other parts of
England also, every occasion for rejoicing
is marked by TIE baking of a huge pie,
which, after being exhibited, is devoured
by all the inhabitants, says the New York
Journal.
At DENLY Dale, a Yorkshire hamlet, for
instance, the other day the people cele-
brated the fftieth anniversary of the re-
peal of the corn laws by constructing an
enormous pie feet 6 inches wide and 10
feet inches long. The dimensions of the
indigestion which followed are not given.
This is not so large a. the pie that this
same village built on another anniversary
some years ago, which was drawn through
the place with thirty-two horses, headed
by three brass bands, and was afterward
put away under the waistcoats of the
DENLY Dalers. 1t is said that some of the
older inhab bitants still retain portions of it
in their osseous formation.
Underground London has some 5000
m les of s,wers $4,000 miles of telegraph
wires, 3200 miles of gaspipes and $500
