Female Town Crier.

A female town crier fulfils the duties of that office in the Scottish town of Dunning, Perthshire. She is a hale, hearty old dame of 70, locally known as the “bell wife,” and is very proud of having proclaimed the queen’s birthday for fifty-three years running. Don’t depend on your ante if yon would be independent qf your “uncle.”
