LEYBURN.
Leyburn has been full of visitors this Whitsuntide, the cold weather having not the slightest effect on the number of excursionists who have thronged not only Leyburn, but Aysgarth, Hawes, Redmire, and even Middleham in search of the health-giving air amidst lovely scenery such as is to be found throughout Wensleydale at the present time. At the pretty little village of Thoralby the Wesleyans held their Sunday school anniversary. A public tea was provided in the afternoon, and at night a public meeting, presided over by Mr R. Ewbank was held.
