MoREDuS," A tale Of the Twelve Hundred and
Ten, by Sir Walter Scott, New York and Boston,
Fetridge Co.
A tale by Sir Walter Scott How comes
this, is the inquiry-Sir Walter Scott has
been dead long time That may be, but the
story is tina. about ISIS Sir Walter gave his
daughter Anne the manuscript of a tale
which he concluded not to publish, and that
some years after she gave it to a foreign
gentleman, among whose papers it was found
lately. There is an introductory chapter
wherein the credibility of the transaction is
discussed. Moreover there is what purports
to he facsimile of letter of Sir Walter
Scott, which accompanied the gift of the
manuscript, What further proof Of its
genuineness could be wanted We have not
read the work through but conclude that
as to essential merit it lies between "Wayer-
ly" and Castle Dangerous s"-two indisputa-

y TRUSTING CUsToNER-A week or two
since cecently dressed elderly man called
at the shop of our tpwnsmen. Mr. Nuirhead
leweller and matchmaker. Buchanan street
and quietly asked if his watch was ready or.
IN other words, if it had been repaired As
Mr. Mulrhead had no remembrance at the
moment of having done business with the
man, he asked in turn when he had left the
article "Oh, said the other, :" dilna
leave it in this shop, for ye were over bye In
Nelson street when ye got it." Mr. Muir
head " That must have been q long time
ago then. for We left Nelson street IN 1885
that is Il years since
" But | left it wi We for a that" said
the other. lie was then asked for the name
and number of the watch, which he described
to a nicely, and on opening the repository it
was found safe and sound. Exactly % years
have passed away since Duncan handed it in
for repair, yet he called for it at the end of
that period as cody as if he had only left it
the preceding week, Duncan's account is
" Ye see, I'm sawyer TO my trade, and
gaed over to America that season to see how
things were looking, for | kent the watch
would be safe till cam back. but .taid a
wee thocht LANCER than | intended. - Gia'-

Before Scbastopol an English saprer was
brought from the trenches with his Jaw bro
ken, and the doctor told him there was a
piece oft sticking out an inch and half
from his face. The man said it was loue by
round sh I, which the doctor dishelicvei,
but the poor fellow insisted and said Yes
and it took off the head of the man next me, -
This was conclusive, and the surgeon pro-
ceeded to remove the bone it came out
quite easy, when the doctor said 10 the man,
whose face appeared to preserve its form
pretty well "Can You move your iAwl''
"Oh, yes sir was the reply The doctor
then put his finger into the mans mouth,
and found the teeth were there, and at
length assured the soldier that it was no Jaw
of his that was broken, but that OF his head
less comrade, which had actually been driven
into his face, inflicting q severe but not dan
gerous wound. Upon this the mans yisage
which had been rather heightened, rounded
up most beautifully.

should, for their own interests follow the
fortunes of the South, or by speedy repen-
tance endeavOur to attach themselves once
more to cause Of the North. They appear to
us to be much in the predicament Of an ur-

Exposure to the Cold and 6tarva. ion

Exposure to the Cold and 6tarva. ION.
This is startling aption, reader, and yet
| is, alas. too true.
Our readers will remember an account
! We rave some days since, of the terrible
condition of several families OF Germans
who arrived here three weeks ago from
GERMANY. We then chronicled the death
Of three OF the Children, and subsequent
" added another to the sorrowful list. 1t
i now our sad duty to announce the de-
cease ofNlAs other members OF those faml-
lies.
When the party left Germany, it consist
ed Of four men, four women, aud fourteen
children; in all twenty-five parsons. Two
oil the women died AT sea. One child was
left in New York in dying condition,
and has since died. Two men, one wo-
man, and ten children have died in Aie-
ghuny. Perhaps of the latter number, one
died in the Western Pennsy lvana Hospital.
