Rawtenstall Local Board Scavenging Department, to Farmers and Others. The Board is desirous of receiving TENDERS from persons willing to Contract for the reception of the nightsoil collected by the Board within any one or more of the several sub-divisions of the district, as shall be hereafter determined upon the Board. The Board will make a receptacle in the Lands of the person whose Tender shall be accepted, and will cart the nightsoil thereto, the contractor undertaking to keep such receptacle so as not to be a nuisance, to empty the same then required by the board too to do, and to pay to the Board such sum as shall be agreed upon for every load of nightsoil delivered at such receptacle. The Contractor shall state the time for which he will be willing to receive the nightsoil and deal with the same.
Short Time in the Cotton Trade - Nearly all the cotton mills in the district are running four days a week, owing to the high price of cotton.
The Weather in Rossendale: The weather in Rossendale (as almost everywhere) during last week was most wet and stormy. Heavy rains occurred almost daily, with a low temperature, and little of no sunshine. Birds, though still fairly plentiful, have been scattered by the stormy weather. The starlings have broken up into smaller flocks, and many of the smaller birds of the fields and the woodlands have taken refuge in the woodlands. All the resident birds are still mute, and we must have better weather before they again burst into song. Our summer migrants have all departed for the south, and but few winter visitors have yet arrived. Through the wet weather has interfered, fair bags of grouse have been mad eon the moors on the borders of north-east Lancashire and south-west Yorkshire.
