| THE POTATO MARKET, DROGHEDA, -The foregoing characteristic sketch gives a faithful idea of the Potato Market at Drogheda, where the country people and town dealers meet to buy and sell the omnipresent "spuds" of Ireland. Some patriots claim that the Irish have had no luck since Sir Walter Raleigh, in the reign of Elizabeth, introduced the potato from the Colony of Virginia into Ireland. |
