Our children, when past a certain age, were at liberty to go anywhere they liked, and keep company with whom they chose, but when they wanted to go beyond the bounds of the main colony they had to ask leave.

An Esquimaux dog seems to be an exs
pensive luxury. Our readers may remem>
ber that about twelyemonth back, on the
return OF the Pandora from the Franklin
Serach Expedition, Captain Allen Young
brought back with him fine specimen of
the Esguimaux dog, on which he set great
value. The animal one day got loose, and
for a long time was at largein the neigh bor
hood Of Southampton. The Hampshire
farmers, taking it for wolf, turned out
en masse with guns and sticks and killed
the poor brute. A long bill for depreda-
tons committed by the animal was also
handed to Captain Young, who had 10 re.
compense the suffering agriculturists. Or
the recent return Of the Pandora from the
Arctic Regions Lieutenant Arbuthnot

home q fine Esquimaux dog, the king o

2 inches. This was much to the astonlsh-

days more They believe this so drmly that
they give the late rise the name OF "el-saleed,
