VIOLATION OF ROB Rows GRAyE.--It is
seldom, nowadays, that we hear Of the
sepulchre Of the dead being violated but
a case of a peculiar kind lately occurred
in the parish olGBalquhidter. One morn
ing, about three weeks ago, the peaceful
INHABITANTS of that beautiful vale were
shocked az finding that the parish burial
ground had been desecrated, during the
previous night, by some miscreants, and
that the grave of the famous Rob Roy
had been violated Many of our readers
will recolect that the grave Of the cele-
braled outlaw is situated near the east
end of the church. A large stone, Off ath
er unchiseIIed aspect, and having u broad
sword, star, and other insignia rudely
carved on it, covers Rob's resting place
This stone, which, from its weight, must
have required the united strength Of at
least two persons TO displace it, had been
removed, and the earth digged up TO the
depth of some three or four feet. The
motive for committing so gross an outa
rage, is supposed to have been the desire
of possessing the bones, or rather some
relics of the bones, of the celebraTed out
law, whose name and deeds the novelist
has so widely published. If such was
the motive, the spectators have undoubt-
edly been defeated in their object for,
independent of the decay which the lapse
of lime must have wrought on the skull,
and thiph, and arm bones Of that once
muscular owner, several other McGreg.
ors have been since inferred in the same
narrow house, and one so lately as eight
years ago, Thus the ashes OF the var-
Gus McGregors have mingled win those
of their famous clansman and he must
be both curious and skillrul antlquary
and an anatomist who can now speak to
any of the stolen scraps as verlable reN
les Of the redoubted outlaw Meanwhile,
the possessors Of any such, would better
be cautious how they declare the fact, else
they may find that these compound Nc.
Gregor relics will tell tale against them
which they little expect. The clergyman
of the parish, so soon as the circumstance
became known, sent Information 10 u
justice OF the peace; and we
the proper authorities have
made an investigation OF the whole cir
cumstances of the case.-StlrIing Obs.
