HIGHLAND FERoCITY.

The disturbances of the Highlanders
were one of the plaques of the reign of
Robert III. You must recollect that that
extensive range of mountains was inhabit-
ed by race Of men different in language
and manners from the Lowlanders, and
divided into families called clans. The
English termed them the wild Scots, and
the French the Scottish savages and, in
good truth, very wild and savage they
seem to have been. The losses which
the low country sustained by the English
wars, had weakened the counties next to
the Highlands so much that they became
unable to repress the incursions of the
mountaineers, descended from their hills,
took spoil burned and destroyed, as if i'll
the country of an enemy. In 1892, a
large body of these Highlanders broke
down from the Grampian mountains. The
chiefs were called Clan Donnochy, or sons
of Duncan, answering to the clan now
called Robertson. A party of the Ogil-
vies and Lindsays, under Sir Walter Ogil-
vie, sheriff of Angus, marched hastily
against them, and charged them with their
lances. But Notwithstanding the adyan-
tage of their being mounted and complete
ly sheathed in armour, the Highlanders
defended themselves with such ferocity,
as to slay the sheriff and go of his follow
ers, and repulse the Lowland gentlemen
To give some idea of their ferocity, 1t is
told that Sir David Lindsay, having IN the
first encounter run his lance through the

AN IRISH SCHOOL.

The following curious account of an
Irish School is from the speech of Mr..
Gordon at the late anniversary of the Lon
don Hibernian Society.
"Once, when literally on School hunt
ing excursion in the county of Mayo, ac-
companied by Clergyman of the district.
and in its widest and most solitary re-
gions, in the vicinity of Croagh Patrick,
that celebrated resort of superstition, he
asked, Was there not an Hibernian
School in that vicinity" The reply was
in the affirmative and he was directed
to look towards something that had the
appearance of habitation, but scarcely
one fit for the residence of human beings.
He would endeavour to describe it. One
side of the dwelling consisted of huge
Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1828-12-09

granite rock, about nine feet high; the
other three were mud walls--the roof cov=
cred with turf; the whole forming an area
within twelve feet square. He approach-
ed, and observed the Schoolmaster stand-
ing in the doorway; no other aperture
was in the hut, nor was there any other
possible place for the Master to stand /;
for within the area, crammed together as
compact as bees in hive, were eighty
sscccn children of different ages--a few
girls among them. 1t may seem incred-
lble how such number could be slowed
away in the area of twelve feet square
but the fact was, small shelf or gallery
was stuck up round the walls, and on this
shelf were seated the little fellows, who.
If left below, could scarcely have escaped
suffocation. On my inquiring of Master
whether the Scriptures were read in the
School, he looked at me as if he thought
| was very ignorant of the Hibernian So
ciety's regulations, and said" To be
sure, Sir, they ares Call up your
Scripture Glass;" said I. " Halloa !" said
he you, "you Scripture boys and girls,
stand up" This was accomplished, not
without some difficulty, and up stood tpo-
and-thirty of his pupils, who read and
gave their answers to the Scripture ques-
tons with fuency, and an evident percep-
ton of the meaning of the text, and eyinc-
ed how perseveringly and faithfully the
Master had discharged his duty"

PARENTAL AFFECTION.


The following is extracted from the un-
published letters of an officer of the Mex
lean navy -
Captain Dillon, commander of the
Brdco, brig of war, had long been anx-
ious to return to England, having left
there his wife and family, from whom he
had received letters of distressing import.
He was resolved to hasten ashore to Gem
eral Barragan, at Vera Cruz and either
to. obtain leave of absence, or demand his
discharge from the service but, at dis
lance of more than mile from the shore,
his boat was capsized. Captain Dillon
was not only an expert, but courageous
swimmer, as also was the young lad who
generally steered his boat he made d.
rectly for the shore confidently enough,
but Captain Dillon had his son with him,
fine little boy, of about ten years of age,
whom he had brought out as a midship-
man ; and having seized him in his arms
at the moment of their upsetting, was
much impeded in his progress. And well
he might be for the sea roared and rolled
IN driving heaps, tossing and falling in
long continued swathes before the sweep
ing scythes of the north wind. The rest
were drowned Immediately. After buffet
ing about for half an hour, during which
time he had shifted his son from side to
side, and from thence to his shoulders.
Capt Dillon began to be exhausted-how
could 1T be otherwise ? he was in full uni-
form. The young sailor, meantime, had
swan more than two thirds the distance
to the shore, when, finding Capt Dillon
had not come up, and not being able to
see him he boldly returned. After SWIM
ming back almost two hundred yards he
found Capt Dillon exhausted and half de-
ferrous, with his little boy hanging quite
senseless land most probably dead under
one arm "Give him to me-" said the
young sailor "I have got most all nv
clothes off; give him to me am sure /
can take him ashore" " No, no." gasp
ed the father, hugging the lifeIess body
close to his side: " No, save YOURSELF
| wont let him go out of my hands-how
far-how far" at this moment the waves
dashed the words back into his mouth.
The sailor again begged him to give up
his son to his care, but Capt Dillon only
answered." Save yourself.'' The sailor
with great difficulty reached the shore
the farther was drowned, with the dead
body of his child in his arms"

AS an instance Of extraordinary tenac-
lty ofmuscular life in some of the fish
tribes, gentleman lately returned from
the Highlands informs us, that while fish
ing for whiting, he caught large dog-fish..
"a species of shark } which, from its feroc-
ity and struggles, had to be decapitated
before the hook could be extracted. The
head being completely severed from the
trunk, the gentlemen, thought there could
be no cruelty in dsembowelling it, in or
der to see whether or not such a yoracious
creature had been devouring the more
helpless tenants of the deep. According
", the abdomen was laid open, and the
stomach being ripped up was found emp
ty. The trunk was laid down in the boat.
wallowing in its own entrails, and as there
was scarcity of bait, it was partly skim
ned, and several oblong cuts taken
from the most muscular part. and put
on the hooks: Notwithstanding such
cutting and mangling, and at the least
one hour and three quarters after the
trunk was headless, he upon being touch
ed) smashed violently the bottom of the
boat with his tail. The head also, after
being separated, retained life for consid-
cradle time, and frequently snapped at
any finger which was thrust into its mouth.
