for that island, and six persons on board, was, melancholy to
relate, swamped a little to the south-west of Mull, nigh Cal saigr

by taking in a reef, this aw ul eatasttophe might have been

IMPROVEMENT OF THE COUNTRY.—The
following instance of the imperfect state of communication,
in the North, about ninety years since, has been commu-
nicated to us by a gentleman well versed in local antiquities
and general inf,rmation. When the late Principal Macleod of
King's College, Aberdeen, was desirous of returning with his
moiher and family to the island of Skye, he apple(' for a
post-chaise in Aberdeen, but found that the only public car-
riage in the city, fit for the road, had gone that day to Ar-
broath. There was another vehicle, but it wanted a wheel, an'
the only person in Aberdeen that could repair it was laid up
drunkenness!'with The first coup cart made in the
North was constructed under the superinttAndence of the
late Mr. Welsh of Milburn, of ash grown in the islod
in the river Ness, about the year 1775. This article of
daily use (formerly all the carts in the Highlands
were made GI rungs or small sticks, of the rudest description)
was copied by Mr. Welsh from a cart used in the transport of
pri,oners from Perthshire, to be tried at our Circuit Court of
Justiciary. The first straight furrow in ploughing land in the
province of Moray, was made by the late Mr. Thomas Duni-
can, farmer in Alves, shout sixty years since. The worthy
farmer marked out the straight lines by means of holes placed
in the field,-and his neighboors, when they saw these prepara-
tions fur 'ploughing, thought Mr Dunean's mind had fairly
gone a-jee!" The late mini•ter of Dort s, the woolly Mr.
Nl•Killivan, u ed to derlare that when he went first to college at
Aberdeen, about eighty years aga, there was not a yard of
stone dyke nn the high road from Inverness to Aberdeen, ex-
celling a small patch at Gordon Castle.--Inverness Courier.

THE WEATHER.—The Iti'catllec`lttls been most
unseasonable fur the last. fortnight, a heavy weight of rain hav-
ing fallen, and the temperature generally being as low as it was
in Marels. A Alids.mmer like this can scarcely be remem-
hered; p-nple hustle thrcugh the streets ,s-rapped up in down-
th,-road coats and Mackintoshes, and- Christmas fires burn
brightly in nearly every pailour. These things afford but a
miserable prospect for the hay harvest. Last night, howevet
appearances improved a little, and we venture to hope that
shall have a little aim by-and-by.—Blackburn Standard.
