GAfE IN THE ARCTIC REGIoYs.-Accordinr to the
return made OF the amount of game Killed IN the Arc
TIC regions, by Capt. Mcclure, while engaged in the
Northwest passage, it appears that the Arctic regions
generally supposed to be nearly destitute of animal life
abound In variety OF game, such as musk OK deer
Mares grouse, ducks, geese, wolves and bears thus
confrnng Lieut.. Kaiues speculation as to the ability
OF an expedition to support life in that quarter even
after the ordinary supplies exhausted. From Oct
IL 1850 to April g. 1858, over 100 900 pounds of game
were obtained by the expedition. The deers were
found to be very fat although their food merely con-
sisted OF herbage which was obtained from a small
tree called the dwarf willow. AS the crew only kept
as it were, on the ridges of the sea- other food was
observable but there's no doubt but the deer found
an abundance of food further up the country. They
were very wild, and the gnners had to display great
precaution in shooting them. The country contains
line green valleys, interspersed with noble rivers ex-
tensye plains, lakes, woods, and parts of the earth
covered with simple but lovely wild flowers
