OUTING. TO SAWLKV AND HOLTOX. On Saturday afternoon last the members of the

Leaving tho school about 2 0 o’clock, the parly, which was made up of about 40 persons including tho Vicnr, Air. Waite, and the secretary, journeyed by various modes of locomotion to Sawlcy, for the purpose of vi^lling and inspecting the Abbey. Here the vicar gave a most interesting historical sketch of the old ruins, which he stated were one and a half centuries ohler than Whalley.. l ie con- ductoil the party round and pointed out all tho in­ teresting and noteworthy spoU.
