EXTRACTS FROM CAPT. M'c11NTocK's
REPORT.
Accompanied by my own party and
Mr. Peterson, | marched along the
east shore Of King Williams Island,
occasionally passing deserted snow
huis, without meeting natives till the
9th OF May, when off Cape Norton we
arrived at q snow village containing
about thirty Inhabitants. They gath.
cred about US without the slightest an
Pearance Ut fear or shyness, although
none had ever seen living white peo-
|Pie before. They were most willing
to communicate all their knowledge
and barter all their goods, but would
have stolen everything had they not
been very closely watched. Many
more relics Of our counuymen were
obtained; we could not carry all W.
might have purchased. They pointed
to the inlet we had crossed the day
before, and told us that one davis
march up it, and thence four days
overland, brought them to the wreck.
Most OF our in -ormation was re-.
eelved from an Intelligent old woman;
she said it was in the fall of the wear
that the ship was forced ashore; mary
OF the white men dropped by the way
as they went towards the Great River;
but this was only known to them in
the winter following, when their bod
les were discovered. SO" r..
Re-crossing the Strait to King Viii.

DEATH OF THE ORIGIN Az or
MADGE WlLDFIRE,

Sunday, 2sth ult.,- intelli gence was
brought to Galashicls, that an old wo:.
man of weak mind, we'll known to the
people Of Galashiels and NIelrose By
various cognomens---as Black Bess,
Bet Gramsley and Daft Bess---was ~
ing in a dying State near E'mand
Bridge. The county police with medi-
cal men, went to remove the suffering
woman, who had laid there all night
but she yielded up her breath just as
the Doctors approached. The body
was conveyed to the sick house here,
and afterwards inferred in the strang-
er's plot at Ladhope burying ground.
Fifty years ago, Elizabeth Graham was:
the rustic beauty, belle and toast of
Mclrose and its neighborhood; respect
ably brought up, and with health man
tling on her cheek, and guileless in.'
notence in her heart. Returning home
one evening, she was set upon in the
gloomy solitude of Boyle Burn, and
there ruined. She returned home, Or
rather she Immediately forsook the
l,at,nts Of man, having become raw
ing maniac, and henceforth she dwelt
apart, living alone among, yet not a
responsible portion Of humanity. The
|outward form of what had once been
a gay and happy girl took up its d~eE
ling place in ! rude cave in the old
quarry hill Of Melrose. Here she slept
at night, in summer and winter, save
for some wild and woeful weeks after
the birth of her dead child, when
she followed it to the churchyard and
would not be driven away, but slept
among the tombstones to watch It's
grave. 1t was from this unfortunate
waif, that Sir Walter Scott drew the
Icharabter Of Madge Wild6re in the
'Heart of Midlothian" The par
ticulars Of the sad case were quite we'll
known to him, residing in the neigh
'borhood and the reader will observe
that there is a striking coincidence be-,
tween the real facts as we have briefly
detailed them, and the incidents of
the'novel as dep icted by the pen OF the
autho, Of Waverly.-.Border Adrer-
tiser: ig5.st ioa-e e tsasa.fi s.sr,s.

GEORGIA COURT SCENE.

After well known Georgia Solici-
tor General had administered the usual
oath TO the grand and petit jurics and
baliffs, he turned 10 the presiding
Judge and remarked:
Sol.-May it please your Honor: I
do not remember any form of an oath

yers that you will take your stand in
the lobby, and there remain with your
eyes skinned during the entire scs:
SION of. this Court: That you will
not suffer any one to speak above a
low whisper, and if any one shall dare
to do so in presence of your Royal
highness you will .vociferously e8claIIrn
"silence in the lobby!" and if order ord +
is not Immediately restored, you fur
ther swear that you will by one pom
derons blow of your fist, planted be-
tween the peppers Of the offender
knock him down. All of this you will
do to the best Of your skill and know.

The bailiff took the position assigned
him, and Immediately after the Conrt
was organized, Tom. Diggers, who
looked as green as young gourds,
walked into the room, wearing bro

in his pockets and inquired.
"Hallow, fellows, where in thunder

"Silence in the lobby - roared the
enraged official.

TREMENDOUS LAND SLipE.--Thc Harrisburg
Union states that tremendous land slide took
place on the Pcnnsylva railroad, near Mexico,
about midninght, on Saturday last, but was for
tunatcly discovered by the watchnan in time to
prevent any Of the trains from running into it.
Tie Union says
The slide is said to be nearly quarter of mile
in length and rocks and slate are piled up to the
height oftwcnty feet. At the time of the slide
the rain come down in torrents and the night be-
ing extremely dark, it was a fortunate circum-
stance that it was discovered in time. The pas
sengers from the West were transferred to the up
train and brought to town, where they arrived
about eight O'Clock. Tho rails on the north track
were torn upa distance of twenty yards and
thrown into the river. new track has been laid
