sweep the vent of the upper lodging, which is at pre
sent occupied by a Mrs. Bell, he proceeded to work in
the usual form, and speodily and safely got to the top
by climbing. Mrs. Bell's fire was of course put nut,
but Mrs. Walker's. remained burning—no intimation
having been made to her on the subject. The two vents.
though separate at first. unite near the top, and from
some accident the boy, in des ending with his cap over
his eyes, most unfortunately entered the strong flue. at
the bottom of which there was a fire burning. A more
appalling situation it is impossible to conceive. The
falling of the' soot and the spread of the flames created
the greatest alarm in Mrs. Walker's family, and some
of them even ran to the door and called out that the
house was on fire. This brought the father of the boy
to the spot, who gave one agitated look up the chimney.
and again ran out and hallooed to his b..y in a voice
that was choaked and over mastered with terror. On
receiving,no answer, he sashed a second time into Mrs.
Walker's kitchen, antion removing a flag placed above
the mouth of the vent, caught his unfortunate boy in
his arms, and placed him on the floor in a state of in.
MetfiCal *id was immediately sent for, a Id
Dr. Robson and Mr. Fraser quickly attended, but nei-
ther of them could hold out the slightest hope. The
hotly, on being stripped, exhibited the saddest spectacle
imaginable. From the crown of the head to the sole
of the foist. scarcely, a particle of skin remained ; even
his face was so•moch scorched, that it was &Meek to
recognise his featiotes, while the tongue and throat were
in such a state, that the slightest attempt at speaking;
though he did utter some words, must
.have been en,
effort attended with the greatest pain. 0 I bring carried
home, his mother, whose- feelings may be easily con;
ceived, asked her darling boy it his heart felt sore? anti
his answer was—. 4 Oh ! mother, 1 wish I were dead.",
By degrees, however, he became insensible, and died,'
as Dr. Robson had predicted, within three lours front
the time the accident occurred.—Dumfries Courier.

ANECDOTES OF THE REBELLION IN
SCOTLAND.

The leading• incidents of " the F rrty-five." which
the " bair-breadth 'scapes and disastrous chancy s". of
Prince Charles, have been so often and so minutely de-
tailed, that we.owe some apology to our readers for
.presenting them with the following supplemental ain't-
dotes. Previous to Vie actual commencement of .the
rebellion, the disaffected Lords and Chiefs had frequent
opportunives of correspondence with Fiance, thrnugh
the m-dium of persons engaged in the contrahar:d
trade, which was then carried on so extensively- in Scot-
land, that French claret was selling here for sixpence
per bottle. Whilst engaged in landing a cargo of
smuggled goods, within, a few miles of litres 'less, a
Chietta;ri of the clan Prater., was subsequently shot by
the revenue officers,
.arici this tragical event led to an
aplanation on the part-of the ciese,.of the ineeni .us
devices resorted to for.coote,alment during thecories-
•pondenceof Simon Lotd„Lottat eith-the,Cisuetot.France.
In the character the' Pcott flighlandes, it is well•
known. there is a, strong tituture Pt superstition, and
whenever a ems) wis expected to land her cargo, with
dispx ch. s for
,puy .of Al Jacobite. Lords,. a spectie
called the .‘Long Mile was iuvarably seen on the
"beach. This spirit wet; supposed to foretell some fatal
ard nobody. ventured to hype-each the shore
after sunset, but those who were in the se.crer, or were
purposely brought thither to witness the.appalling sight,
and Spread the alarm •of its appearance. The Lorsg
Man was milting more than a man walking on the
beach. with a thin deal board slipped beeween his coax
and back, which was formed in front to represent the
face, arms, and body of a titan snore than double the
ordinary stature. This was a formidable object when
seen passing to and fro la moon or star light—ird oc-
casionally thespectat.o's terror was increased by the
sudden dis kikirrarance of the friAbtful object, the actor
having slily.tusned the.edge of the board in front, so
that during the night the figure became instantly
im-
y:ercee,trble. By me ins of this mrople but powerful
stratagem, gi.,ods, diepatches, die. were for some time
landed widiout the Cha,lCe of detection or information,
all tie scheme of the rebellion, was matured, arid the
stieulat,ons of the main enterprise arranged he wee.n
Lord Login and the Cour s of F, atter and St. Ger mains.
After the drf at of Lie furcrs at Culigelen, Charles
retie. ed Orr-ugh S ratbnairo, a district possessed by
branches of the clati M .ckirrtosh, of wh-Int their le :,seer
and ever y individual of rank had fal:eri in the action,
and came at night to tie house or Thomas Fraser, Esq.
'ref Gortuleg, grandfatb:r of our friend C .ptain Erase?,
hell it,rown kr his prutounel knowledge of Scottish
Music and Song. Lovat was also in the house, and
the number of their tetaLiers rendered it accessary to
stow the children of t'.e family into a.smalTapaitment
Ibetween the Prince. chamber and ani.ther, but which
!had communication with both.. The whispers of vie
eliadien, afraid to speak out, produced suspicion in
the mind of* Charles that he had been heirAfeJ,. and at
,length he escniimed with agitation, '! Open, open the
door.' One of the children having comp) ed with. his
•request, the unfortur•ate Prince presented a coonte-
nailer so strongly marked with grief and consternation,
than its features were indelibly impressed upon the
minds of his juvenile beholders. Seeing his mistake,
he give way to the. follow jog touching exclamation—
!. Hosi hard is my fate, when the innocent prattle of
children can annoy pre so much!" words, which the
late Mr. Fraser used to sly, were among the most try.
,ing and affecting he had ever heard. Charles was too
much agitated to think of sleep ; he changed his field
,dress, and, taking a glass or two of wine, left the house
at ten o'cloCk at sight for Invergarry.
One of the most remarkable of the Prince's adeen
tures during his wanderings, was. his residing several
days with a. party of caterans, or thieves, .io a hut,
among the heights between Glenmorriston and Rioted.
On entering the cabin Charles found the men engaged
in slaughtering a cow, if which an ample meal was
prepared, and he was invited to partake, whiehhe did
heartily. 'The min kept his secret inviolably, though
aware of thereward offered for his apprehension and
it is not generally known, that it was for stealing the
cow, of which tl e Royal wanderer partook, that one of
the party was subsequently tried and executed. Another
of the men was afterwards a soldier in General Fraser's
first Highland Regiment, and became the confidential
orderly man whe constantly attended General Wolfe,
when reconnoitring the enemy. Let it not be *aisle
therefore, that there is .no honour amootthieves; b.;
after all we mast confess, that even with this class'
