A letter from Newfoundland gives intelli-
gence of the United States Arctic exploring
expedition, under Captain Hall, received by
the Danish brig Meerhek, from Disco, Green
land On February % the exploring steam
er Polaris put into Disco for fresh provisions
On the 9Th of that month she had encoun-
tered heavy weather and run upon ice snags
on the peaks of iccbergs imbedded in sand
or mud. The Polaris was so damaged that
che was only kept afoat by the united exer-
tions of all hands at the pumps, and when
she reached Disco the company were so ex-
hausted that another day at sea must have
compelled them to abandon the vessel. The
log of the Polaris contained many strange
discoveries, which led to the conviction that
in the extreme and undiscovered north there
is at times genial atmosphere and open seas
Plants vera detected in the ice which are
Indigenous to Southern climates, and the
examinatiog of floating stick Of wood,
found on Saturday, January 13, proved it 70
be limb of some huge birch. The most
important clue to the existence of polar
passage is the fact of the crew of the Polaris
having seen, followed and killed whale
having in one Of its fins q harpoon similar
to those used in the South Pacific and this
happened in region where, as Captain Hall
says, 'the sail of an American or European
vessel had never been given to the wind
before" In May Captain Hall hopes to
make clear passage to the undiscovered
pole.

WHOSE HANDSOME HOUSE IS THAT p
Such was the inquiry of traveller as he
passed an unusually we'll finished country
residence, not a thousand miles from here.
The style of the sashes, the brightness ofthe
glass, the beauty of the doors, the classic
patterns of the mouldings, the neatness of
the balusters, and the stateliness of the pill
lars around the piazza, all llstruck the traveller
with astonishment and admiration. And no
wonder, for they were all furnished by Mr..

CeMMENDABLE AcTIoN.-A movement is
now on foot the objects of which are to erect
monuments to the memory of the late Rt.
Rev. T. F. Davis, D. D., and his son, the

Church. An association for these purposes
has been formed, committees appointed and
everything arranged for prompt action. We
regard it as very probable that the Diocesan
Convention which assemblies in Charleston
next week will take some step toward erect
ing the monument to the late Bishop, which
will at once secure the success of the
scheme.
