The attention, curiosity, and anxiety of
the civilized nations, after a long repose,
are again to be exercised with reference to
the fate of Sir JOHN Franklin. Expedi-
ton after expedition, both by land and sea,
have been despatched to the northern re-
gions, under the patronage Of the two great
maritime nations, England and America
whose members after having been decima-
ted by disease, by the rigors. of the eli
mate, and by the perils of adventure, have
returned to their respective countries, bring
ing back with them disappointment, and, at
last, utter hopelessness as to the safety of
the heroic explorer.
One Of these expeditions, with which was
connected Dr. RAE, a man distinguished
throughout the world for his scientific at
tainments, was despatched about the year
1850, by the British Government to trav-
erse the continent east and west, north of
the Goth parallel of latitude A report of
the discoveries made by the intelligent and
adventurous men Herewith connected was
published in 1852. Traces were found pri-
or to that date, which satisfied DR.. RAE that
Sir JOHN FRANKLIN, or some members of
his party had traversed some portions of
the regions which they visited. These in.
dications induced the Doctor to continue
explorations. and after years of patient
search, he has been rewarded with proofs
which, while they demonstrate the presence,
at some date, Of the great Explorer DEM
onstrate with equal certainty, that the
opinion Of mankind, in ranking him among
the lost, is mournfully correct.
d. L. FULLER, Esq, arrived from Lake
Superior by the Northern route, bringing
with him letters from Fort Ripley en- route
for Washington, and containing probable,
if not positive intelligence of Sir JOHN
FRANKLIN. 1t appears that on the day be-
fore Mr.. FULLER arrived at Crow Wing, u
few miles above Fort Ripley, special mes
senger arrived from DR.. RAE, of the Arctic
expedition, stopped there with dispatches
to Her Majesty's government i'll Canada
The messenger "a half breed roysuer Of
the North, stated that the expedition had
discovered FEANKLIN's watch, spoons bear
ing his initials, and many other articles
supposed to have belonged to him OF his
party. They also found attached to the
ear rings Of some Esquimaux, British coins;
and he affirmed, also, that in the vicinity
they had discovered many bones.
The facts comprised in these dispatches
will soon he made public. We await their
development with anxious interest.

AN EXTRAORDINARILY ow.-Mr. John B.
Decker of Vantage, is the owner Of cow
which is thirty-two years old this spring,
and is still a valuable animal She produced
a calf last month, being the fifteenth in
nine years. She had her first calf when
two years old, and has yielded altogether
from forty to forty five calves. In a dairy
of over fifty choice young COWS, Mr.. D.
says that he has not more than five that
surpass her in the amount Of butter which
is made from her milk. She gave last sum-
mer from 20 to "a quarts of milk daily, and
bids to do quite as well this season. Mr..
d. thinks he obtains nearly three frkins
of butter annually from this valuable ami
NAL. Her teeth are good, enabling her to
winter on hay, as well as the younger COWS.
She is of common domestic breed, and was
raised by the late Bowdewine Decker, faith
er of the present owner: She is of course,
a great favorite with the family and mcn-
ey could not buy her. We doubt if her
equal can be found in the United States
SUSSEX Register.

A CALIFORNIA LAKE The Plaoerrlle
Herald says that Lake Bigler is one of the
curiosities of California. 1t is lake fifty
miles long and from ten to twenty miles i'll
width, situated between two distinct ridges
of the Sierra Nevada, and but about one
and half miles north of the road to Car
son Valley. According to the Herald it is
perfect paragon of a lake, miniature
paradise among the mountains. Its wildly
beautiful and romantic shores are lined with
forests, and it's waters which never freeze
although surrounded by snow a great part
of the year, abound in many varieties of
fish, among which the salmon and speckled
trout preponderate. So clear are its waters
that the objects on the bottom are distinct
ly visible at depth of thirty or forty feet.
Upon the eastern side of the lake is vast
cavern extending to an unknown distance
into the heart of the mountain. The ell
trance is arched in q peculiar manner, and
the place which has never been explored, is
believed by the Indians to be the abode Of
the evil spirits of the mountains.

Nor BAD.-The Pscataqua Observer is

A gentleman called at hut in the
Aroostock valley and requested some din

refused to supply his necessities for money
or love of humanity.

he turned his footsteps from the inhospita-

"Besatse," answered the weary man, the

Lake and they are going to turn all the
waters of the Lake into the .Aroostook valley
and you and all the rest of the people are

Upon this intelligence the old lady hur.

the flood was to overflow the valley and to
ask what was to be done in the sad emer-

The priest endeavored to quiet her fears
by telling her that God had promised that
he should never send another food upon
the earth.
