THE FRENCH IN CANADA.
Discovery of the Journals of Mont
clam and his second I'm Command.

Discovery of the Journals OF Mont
clam and his second I'm Command.
Much valuable light 10 shed on the
last days of the French occupation Of
Canada by discovery recently made
by that distinguished French historian
the Able Casgrain, in the Chateau dc
Noisiel. in France. In the library OF
the old chateau the manuscripts OF
Montcalm's journal of his campaign in
Canada together with q set OF the
journals of Gen. de Lewis. his second
in command had lain for century TIL
they were unearthed q short time ago
by Count RAYMOND de Nicolay. great
grandson of Gen. de Lewis. and heir to
his uncle. the late Duke dc Lewis.
Count dc Nicolay showed these treas
ures TO the able, and has assured him
that he is the only historian who has
seen them. The manuscripts are now
being copied as rapidly as possible, and
will probably be bought and published
by the province of Quebec. On his
death-bed Montclam ordered all his pa
pers sent to Gen. de Lewis who when he
returned to France had them carefully
arranged and bound, along with his
own correspondence and journals from
1855 to 1760. In all there are eleven
volumes of these manuscripts-five in
folio and six in quarto. Montcalm's
journal. partly written by himself and
partly by his secretaries. forms quarto
volume of $50 pages, and is supplement-
ed by 81 page folio containing the
journal of the campaign of 1859, and
ending with a description of Montcalm's
death and of the captulation of Que
bee. Some account Of the generals
apparent premoniton of the fatal issue
of the attack is given. De Lewis jour-
nal fills a folio of 2S5 pages. His account
of the second battle on the plains of
Abraham. in which the French were
successful, is valuable as contributing
to the settlement of the disputed ques-
ton as to the number of British forces.
French historians have asserted that
the forces numbered seven thousand
men, while Gen. hurry, writing to Pitt
reported the number as three thousand.
De Lewis journal says: Their army
was about four thousand men and ours
about five thousand"

A Buffalo Hunt.

pend cular walls of the rdvine. When
within POO yards of the brink, to our
amazement buffalo appeared clam

the ravine at a point that we atterward
found taxed the climbing powers OF
a footman. Another and another came
bobbing up, and we drew up the
horses. utterly dumbfounded, to see
that every one, even to the calves, had
made the plunge in safety.
This to me, was one of the most
noteworthy things that ever came
under my observation. Many times
afterward we saw buffalo tracks on the
slight projections of the walls of these
deep gulles, in places where we could
only stop and stare. The shape of the
limbs, too, seemed utterly to forbid it,

it followed that nearly all we killed
were large bulls. Yet, when standing
over the BODY Of my first buffalo, and

legs just above the hoof, | then and
there began to measure each and
every one we killed for meat, besides
