MR, FAIRBAIRN. —lie is now more than 70
years of age, but hale, tall, wiry, and strong. We profess
ourself to be it fair walker, but he sometimes paces us in
the street at his ordinary stride as though our pace was
decidedly slow. One of the workmen in the Fairhairna'
establishment, not long ago, described to us in his graphic
and laconic vernacular the doctor's activity awl powers of
endurance. " Th. owl aiaester," he said, " 11 lick 'em o'
yet." That is, the old master would get through more
work still than any of the younger members of the finu.—

KIRKeALOY. —RETURN OF THE WHA LERS.—OUF
three whale ships, the Abram, Lord Gambier, and Chief-
tain, arrived in the %Ma% on Friday night sod Saturday
forenoon, sod made the harbour readily, with the stream
tides then flowing. The season's fishing has been a poor
one for the company. Thu Abram has only one nth, the
Lord Gambier two, and the Chieftain five—toil estimated
amount of oil, 110 thus. At the Dundee price. this would
give 3,873 f. In addition there is the whalebone, of which
the three vessels have among them seven tons, and this
may be worth, at the present selling price, about;
making a total of 6,643/., as the result of the &lungs.—

TILE CANADIAN MILITIA.—From Quebec we learn
that on the =od ult. Lieutenant-Colonel A. De Salahery,
Deputy Adjutant-General of Militia, by command of the
retiring Commander.in.Chief, issued an address to the
militia force, in which oocurs the following passage :
"His Exoelleecy confidently believes that the whole
militia of 'Canada, sedentary and active, will be ready at all
times to defend tli•ir homes and support the crown of Eng-
land, as their fathers have done before them ; but he
would exhort them not to slacken iii their exertion..
Perseverance in their drill and practice with their
rifles will make Canadians as fit and ahle to protect
their country as any soldiers in the world, and the
strength of the British empire will, in =De of emer-
gency, be exerted with two-fold energy and two•fold heart-
iorss
in rapport of a people thus quailfierl to fight in their
own mine. In saying this his Excellency eoriestiv triode
that no war will touch the frontiers of Canada. awl that
peace and goodwill towards those with whom we have no
cause of gear el will continue to bless our borders as they
have done for many years. With this prayer he bids the
militia of Canada heartily farewell."
On the 15th tilt. a duel wan fought in Arkansas,
opposite Memphis, between Messrs. Leuze and Chambers,
both of Mississippi, and rival candidates for Congress.
Lauxe was mortally wounded.
A Charleroi journal relates's mortifying incident
which occurred a few days ago to some sportsmen in the
woods of Geddine, near that town. A large party of gen-
tlemen went out to sport, and divided themselves into two
bands. After a while one of the gentlemen propo.ed to
his companions to fire off their guns in rapid succession, in
order to make the others believe that they had fallen in
with a considerable quantity of game. The proposition was
accepted ; but no sooner had all the guns been fired than
six magnifi,eut wild boars, alarmed by the noise, rushed
from a thicket and passed close to the sportsmen, not one of
whom could fire a shot. _
