WHITE MOLES.--David Grant, mole-catcher, re-
siding at Bridge of Monlack, lately got three moles of a pure
white colour in a trap set in the garden at Relig. Can th°
severe frost have changed the coat of these " miners of the,
earth" as it transforms the plumage of some of the fowls 01
the air? Grant has got two of the moles stuffed to preserve
as curiosities.—lnverness Courier.
The Continental journals are still filled with ac-
counts of the great earthquake, which was felt throughout the
entire length of Europe, from the Black Sea to Cherbourg,
on the 23d and 25th of January last. From a hasty glance at
those accounts we should be led to conclude that the shock was
felt in France about seven hours later than in Southern Rus-
sia ; and slat the vibration was communicated by the roeliy
structure of the Alps. The earthquake was not, we believe,
felt in any place north of the Danube, and weet of Transyl-
vania. We need hardly:recommeni the geologists to:endeavotir
to collect the precise accounts of these widely-witnessed phe-
nomena while they are still fresh in the observers' memories.
A frightful murder was committed sometime ago at
the village of Nicolausberg, near Gottingen. A men' who
had for a long time been on bad terms with his son and daugh-
ter-in-law, on account of their refusing to give him merle)",
&c., formed the design of murdering thein both, He carried
his project into effect, and made his escape ; Out his body was
afterwards found in the vault of a convent, when it was disco-
vered that he had shot himself.
On Sunday se'enight, between the hours °f
three and four o'clock, a dreadful collision took place be-
tween the brig Emma, of Bideford, and the Leith steam-
ship, near Gravesend. It appears that the Emma W"5
coming up the River with a c ergo of iron, from Newport, i 0
South Wales, and in Long Reach, just rounding the Point,
in the proper course, with a fair wind, the tide being about
half flood at the time, the crew saw the lights of the steamer
on the larboard bows, and steering in an opposite direction, on
the way down, The steam-ship stood right across the Emma
bows, and the people on board the Leith called out to the
crew of the Emma to put their helm a-port, which they did ;
1t
the same moment, however, the steamer, by some mistake, 3
tered her course, and went right into the Emma's bows, stem °t-
with a terrific crash, carrying away the bowsprit, cathead, nighheads, springing the foremast, and stoving her bows. The brig
was rendered a complete wreck forward, and the mate,
Hoot
Barrett, in endeavoui ing to launch the boat, was knoknocked`overboard, but, with the assistance of Captain Maine, ,he
master of the vessel, and the crew, was saved. A boy wag
coming up the fore scuttle at the moment of the collision, acd
was severely wounded. He was subsequently removed to the
Dreadnaught hospital ship, where he has since remained.
The Emma was compelled to bring up 'after she was struckthe,
and it was for some time feared that she would sink. as
brig was cut down to the water's edge forward. The ship'
however, came up with the next tide, and is now discharging
her cargo off
.the Tower, She must go into dry dock to re-
pair. The steamer, after sending a boat off to the assistance
' of the Emma and her crew, proceeded on her voyage.
Owing to the depth of snow on the east coast, the
mail bags are carried by men on foot, under the superin-
tondence of the guard, from Fochabers to Pitrnachy, n"r
Aberdeen. One day last week as the party was proceeding
with their precious budget, treading carefully along
more fit for the goat o;:- the chamois than for her Majesty 5
liege subjects. and servants, one of the men fell and disap-
peared. The guard instantly returned to extricate him, when
he found that the man had fallen over the chimney of a
c.ttage buried in the snow, They went to the first farm-hour
on the road, and having related the circumstance, the people
turned out to excavate the domicile, which had been cover
night.
