ing Prince Albert shot a stag from his bed-room window.
The poor creature was not killed by the shot, but stag-
gered on for a few seconds. Lord Glenlyon tried his
hand at finishing the murder, but three times missed his
mark, upon which the Prince sent another bullet, by
which the feat was accomplished ! In the afternoon liar
Majesty again mounted her Highland pony, and, accom-
panied by Lord Glenlyon, ascended at bill at the hack of
the Castle, from which she might make observations of the
arouse shooting, as carried on below by Prince Albert.
The Prince brought down several brace.
On Tuesday and the following days her Majesty took
her usual walks and drives. The weather has been get-
tinc extremely cold, but her Majesty takes a quantity of
bodily exercise that asprishes the persons who are about
her.

LORD GLENLYON.—I t is not perhaps generally known
that Lord Glenlyon, the heir presumptive to the Dukedom
of Athol and nephew to the Duke of Northumberland,
who has given the use of Blair Castle to her Majesty, is
the great grandson of Lieutenant-General Lord George
Murray, who commanded the rebel army under Prince
Charles Edward Stuart, during nearly the whole of the
rebellion in the year 1745, until the battle of Culloden
gave the death blow to the hopes of the unfortunate house
of Stuart. Lord George was obliged to flee to France,
and died under attainder and in exile, during the whole
of which he experienced the most unmerited malignant
hostility from Charles Edward, but he enjoyed the friend-
ship of the Chevalier St. George up to the death of his
uucle the then Duke of Athol, without issue, the son of
Lord George Murray became Duke of Athol, and from
whom is descended the present Lord Glenlyon, who has
now the honor of accommodating a Sovereign of the
House of Brunswick at the ancient feudal residence of the
Athol family, and in the very centre of a district whose
former inhabitants, the numerous clansmen of the " M ur-
rays of Athol," almost to a man, followed Lord George
Murray to the field to support the claims of the exiled
family of the Stuarts to the throne of these realms.
THE QUEEN'S CONDESCENSION.—To show tie com-
plete freedom from all. Court formality which her Majes-
ty has been enabled to establish in her Higi land home,
various little incidents which are almost daily occurring
might be mentioned. One morning, about seven o'clock,
a lady plainly dressed, left the Castle, who, though ( b-
served by the Highland Guard on duty, was allowed to
pass unnoticed, until after she had proceeded a consider-
able distance; when some one discovered it was the
Queen, a parry of the Highlanders immediately turned
out as a Royal Body Guard. Her Majesty, however,
signified her wish to dispense a ith their services, and they
all returned to their stations. The Queen in the mean-
while moved onwards through the Castle grounds alone,
until she reached the Lodge, the temporary residence of
Lord and Lady Glenlyon, where, upon calling, she was
informed that his lordship had not yet risen. The sur-
prise of the domestics may be conceived when her Ma-
jesty announced who was to be intimated as having called
on his Lordship. On her return, her Majesty having
taken a different route, and finding herself bewildered by
the various roads which intersect the grounds in every
direction, applied to some reapers whom she met to di-
rect her to the Castle by the nearest way. They, not
being aware to whom they spoke, immediately did so, by
directing her Majesty across one of the parks, and over a
palling which lay before her, and which she at once pas-
sed and reached the Castle, a good d al amused, no doubt,
with her morning's excursion—On another occasion, the
Queen and Lady Glenlyon having extended their walks
a considerable distance up Glen Tilt, entered one of the
gamekeeper's cottages, where the/ found no person but
the gamekeeper's wife, he being himself on the bill with
the Prince. They entered into conversation with the
woman, and were soon furnished with a full account of all
her little family arrangements, and also presented with a
draught of vat's milk. On their leaving, she expressed
her regret. in a very homely way, that she did not happen
to have any better fare to offer the ladies. It was only in
the evening, on her husband's return, that she discovered
who bad been her guests in the morning.— Glasgow
Citizen.
