(Captain MeClintoek,) which was sent
to the Arctic regions at the expense of
Lady Franklin, to discover tirrff/es of
the inissirjV expedition, anived off the

EXTRACTS FROM CAPT. jfCLlNTOCK'S
BEPOKT.
Accompanied by my own party and
Mr. Peterson, I marched along the
east shore of King William's Island,
occasionally passing deserted snow
huts, without meeting natives till the
8th of May, when off Cape Norton we
arrived at a snow village containing
about thirty inhabitants. They gath
ered about us without the slightest ap
pearance of fear or shyness, although
none had ever seen living white peo
ple before. They were most willing
to communicate all their knowledge
and barter ail their goods, but would
have stolen everything had thev not
been very closely Watched. Many
more relics of our countrymen were
obtained we could not carrv all we
rmglrt have purchased. They pointed
to the inlet we had crossed the
daydocuments,
before, and told us that one dav's
march up it, and thence four days
overland, brought them to the wreck.
Most of our in 01 mation was re
ceived from an intelligent old woman
she said it was in the fall of the year
that the ship was forced ashore many
of the Wbke men dropped by the wav
as they went towards the Great River
but this was only knowu to them in
the winter following, when their bod
ies were discovered.
Re-crossing the Strait to King Wil
liam's Island, we continued the exam
ination of the southern shore without
success until the 24th of May, when
about ten miles eastward of Cape
HerschelL, a bleached skeleton was
lotmd, around which lay fragments of
European clothing. Upon carefully
removing the snow a small pocket
book was found, containing a tew let

may yet be deciphered. Judging from
the remains of his dress, this unfortu
nate young man was a Stewart or offi
cer's servant, and his position exactly
verified the Esquimaux's assserlion,
that they dropped as they walked
along.
After parting from me at Cape Vic
toria on the 28th of April, Lieutenant
Uobson made for Cape Felix. At a
very short distance westward of it he
found a very large cairn, and close to
it three «mall tents, with blankets, old
and other relics of a shooting
er magnetic station hut although the
cairn was dug under, and a trench
dug all around it at a distance of ten
et, no record was discovered. A
piece ot biank paper folded up was
t.Mitid in the cairn, and two broken
bottles, which may, perhaps, have con
tained records, lay beside it among
some stones which had fallen trom off
the top. The most interesting of the
articles discovered here, including a
boat's ensign, were brought away by
Mr. Hobson. About two miles fur
ther to the southwest a small cairn
was found, but neither records nor
velics obtained. About three miles
north of Cape Victoria a second small
cairn was examined, but only a bro
ken pickax'' and empty canister found,
On the 6th of May. Lieut. Hobson
pitched his tent beside a large cairn
upon Mount Victory. Lying among
some loose stones which had fallen
from the top of this cairn, was found
a small tin case containing a record,
the substance of which is as follows:
This cairn was built by the Franklin
expedition upon the assumed site of
Sir Jnines Ross' pillar, whico had not
been found The Erebus and Terror

Island, after having ascended Wel

abandoned five leagues to the N. N.
W„ of Point Victory, and the survi
vors. 105 in number, landed here un
der the command of Capt. Grower."
This paper was dated April 26, 1848,
and upon the following day they in
tended to start for the Great Fish Riv
er. The total loss by deaths in the
up to this date was nine
officers and fifteen men. A vast quan
tity of clothing and stores of all sorts
lay strewed about, as it every article
was thrown away that could be dis
pehsed with pickaxes, shovels, boats,
cooking utensils, ironwork, rope, can
vas, blocks, a dip circle, a sextant en

When in lat. 09 deg., 09 min., Ion
90 deg., 27 min W.^ we came to
large boat, discovered by Lieutenant
Hobson a few days previously, as his
notice informed me. It appears that
this boat had been intended for the
ascent of the Fish River, but was
abandoned apparently upon a return
journey to the ships, the sledge upon
which she was mounted being pointed
in that direction. She measured 28
feet in 1 igrh by 1 1-2 feet Wide, was
most carefully fitted, and made as light
as possible, but the sledge was of solid
oak, and almost as heavy as the boat,
A large quantity of clothing was
found within her, and also two human
skeletons. One of these lay in the at
ter part of the boat, under a pile of
clothing the other, which was much
more disturbed, probably by animals
Wrt» found in the bow. Five pocket
watches, a quantity of silver spoons
and forks, and a few religious books
were also found, but no journals, pock
et-books, of e\veh names upon any ar
tides pi clothing. Two doutnVbai
reled guns stood upright against the
boat's side precisely as they had been
placed eleven years before. One bar
rel of each was loaded and cocked
there was amunition in abrtmlsnee,
also thirty or forty pounds of choco
late, somi- tea and t«bacco. Fu»d was
not wanting a drift tree lay within
one hundred yards of the boat
Many very interesting relics were
brought away by Lieut. Hobson, and
some few by myself. On the 5th of
June I reached Port Victory, without
having found anything further. The
clothing, fcc, was again examined for
note books, &c., without
success, a record placed in the cairn^en's
and another buried 10 feet true north
of it.
From all that can be gleaned from
the record paper, and the evidence
afforded by the boat, and various ar
ticles of clothing and equipment dis
covered, it appears that the abandon
ment of the Erebns and Terror had
been del'berlately arranged, and every
effort exerted during the third Winter
to render the traveling equipments
complete.
It is much to be apprehended that
the disease had gr ally reduced the
strength o1 all oil beard1, far wore
perhaps than they themselves were
aware of.
The distance by sledge route, from
the position of the ships when aban
doned, to the boat is 65 geographical
milesj and from the ships to Montreal'be
Island 220 miles.

EX'
MR. GREELY'S CALIFORNI A
PERIENCE
The country papers along the route
of Mr. Greely's travels make merry
over the personal renrinscetre'eff of the
pbi!o*oflHer. Tie foffowirfg items are
from the Mariposa Gazette:
A PHILANTHROPIST ON A HORSE.
The Hon. Horace Oreely left Col.
Fremont's residence in Bear Valley,
on Thursday morning of last week,
and reached Yo Semite Valley the
same night. lie retnYrted vi* fifg Tree'
OroVe, which Is a distance of about
ten tfriles from the Yo Semite trail,
reaching' Bear Valley Saturday night
From Mariposa, the party were ab
sent fifty-five hours, of which fourteen
were spent in the valley. This is much
the quickest trip ever made. Horace
though not by any means an elegant
equestrian, possesses two important
qualifications for making good time
He sticks to the saddle, or in other
words "hangs on to the crupper," with
one hand, licks his beast energetically
with the other, and goes it"—shak
ing all over like a bag of jelly. He
would not after his fatiguing trip was
over, own upto soreness, as it affected
his honor, thouge we gravely suspect
the seat of it was somewhat damaged.
HOW HE EXPRESSED HIS WONDER AT
THE BIG TREES.
He was very companionable on the
road, discussing upon light and heavy
subjects with an easy blnntness and
naivette. There is considerable dry,
comic quality in his composition, which
unmistakeabiy sticks out on suitable
occasions. A peculiarity was noticea
ble in his manner of expressing wonder
and admiration of the grand scenery
of the valley, big trees, &c when any
thing remarkable appeared to view he
would break forth into whistling,which
sounded like wind blowing through a
knot hole, or would roar on some hymn
or sort of pot pourriy in which all
sorts of words and metres were beau
tifully intermingled, and set to music
execrable enough to charm the heart
ol a cat-head owl. He bad likewise
learned to to yell or bowl in a manner
that would astonish any aborigine on
this contiunet to a dead certainty.
MEM. OP HIS TRAVELING COSTUME
On one foot he wore a cotton sock,
and on the other a woolen. Boot
number 14, which not many years
ago cost as much as 92,50. Pepper
and salt pants, with the old white coat
and hat, completed his entire habili
ments, the tout ensemble of which
proved very striking and antique. The
old ccat was much dilapidated and
pieces had been cut from it, in sundry
and divers places. The committee
that met him in Placerville cut. all theand
buttons off but three, and the Yo
Semite delegation got them, with
most of its binding.
A CASE OF CLEAR DECEPTION.
Mr. Greeley, was invited to Stoek
ton by the Authorities, and was met
by those deputed for the service of
welcoming him, outside the city walls
and by them taken to the Mayor's
house. There the corporation ad
dress was read at him, to which he
replied briefly, expressing thanks for
his reception. He was then informed
that, as the city's guest, rooms had
been provided for him at their best
hotel. Mr. Greeley, then seated in a
barouche, was driven to the aforesaid
hotel. In the evening he addressed
the citizens, and in the mornig, as he
had established himself in the car
riage (about starting for Mariposa),
the boy of the house ran out yelling:
"Gr-e-el-ey O-o-^ Greeley yer hav
en't paid yer biil!! The distin
guished philosopher philosophically
took out his* purse, paid- it and left.-
MARRY—Jeremy Taylor says, if you
are for pleasure, marry if you prize
rosy health, marry. A good wife is
Heaven's last best gift to man—his
angel of mercy—minister of graces

not a thousand miles from this place.
On the day set for the funeral, a son
of the deceased left the rest of the
family to pay the last tribute of regard
to the remains of the huslr nd and
father, while he came to town for
to take out letters ot administration,
upon the estate of said deceased. He
hung around the County Judges office
a long time, watting for the office to

GEORGIA COUR SCENE.
After a well known Georgia Solici
tor General had administered the usual
oath jo the grafnd and petit juries. and
baliffs, he turned to* the presiding
Judge and remarked
Sol.—May it please" your Honor. 1
do not remember any form of an oath
administered to tbe lobby bailiffs, but
by your permission, I think I can
frame one thatt will be satisfactory to
the Court.
Judge—Proceed Mr. Solicitor.
Sol.—Put your hand on the book,
whereupon a tall, lean, vinegar faced
sou of Anak stepped up and promptly
grabbed tjhe bopfe.
Sol.—You do solemnly swear, in
presence of this Court, and us law
yers that you will take your stand in
the lobby, and there remain with your
eyes skinned during the entire ses"-.
sion of tVris €ourt. 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 Hoyal
highness you will vociferously exclajnr
"silencein the lobby!" and if order
is not immediately restored, yon fur
ther swear that you will by one pon
derous blow of your fist, planted be
tween the peepers of the offender
knock him down. All of this you will
do to the best of your skill and know
ledge.
The bailiff took tbe position assigned
him, and immediately after the Court
was organized, Tom. Diggers, who
looked as green as young gourds,
walked into the room, wearing bro
gans No. 13, and his hands thrust deep
in his pockets and inquired.
"Hallow, fellows, where in thunder
is Jim Snellins?"
"Silence in the lobby roared the
enraged official.
Brogans—you must be an all-fired
fool, and if ye jest open your bread
trap again, your mammy wont know
yet*.
Whereupon Jim Jarvis, die bailiff,
let fly the dogs of war, and greeny fell
flat on bis back, with his pedestals
at an angle of .forty, degrees in the
air. He grabbed greeny by the seat
of his trowsers, and dragged him,
wrong and foremost, into the presence
of his Honor, the presiding Judge, and
said:
Mr. Judge, here's that infernal
Tom Diggers, that wan't never in a
court house afore, and he undertook
to run over this chicken but 'cordin'
to my oath I fetched the tarnal critter
up standing, by giving him a jerk be

COUNTRY MEETING TALK.
An Illinois editor who sometimes
has an "attack of Phonography," at
tended a country "meeting," where
he took down the following notes of
different topics of conversation at
one time:
"Votefor Lovejoy?" exclaimed a
political aspirant indignantly, "I'd as
soon vote for Wm Lloyd Garrison4
himself, loaded down as he is, with—,

have sounded like a whisper if she

CRINOLINE.
As regards the mere volume and cir
cumference of hoops and1 crinoline,
the ladies of London and Paris are
cbhroared. with those of New York,
as butterflies With' canary birds. The
caricatures of the crinoline mania
which the world owes to its excellent
friend Punch, if exaggerations of En
glish fashions, aVe not at all exaggera
tions of those of jNcw York aiwf to
get along Broadway Where there is
tacitly understood and acknowledged
law of pavement as iu England, aud
where every one takes the wall, as ft?
pleases him or her, it is no easy mat
ter, even without these abominable
hoops, for an Englishman accustomed
to have the wall at his right hand to'
make any progress, unless by a series
of most provoking zigzags but, hus
tled about by crinolines, the best thing
for a gallant man who is in a hurry is
to step off the pavement into the road.
Nor nave the fair ladies all the hoops
to themselves. The dark ladies share'
with them the passion or the sentiment
of the monstrosity, and inflate their
garments to the most ridiculous ex
tent. Little negro girls of fourteen or
fifteen years of age, with bright color
ed parasols, bright cotton and bilk
dresses of a width surpassing any cre
dence but that of the eyes of the be
holder, flounced awkwardly to and
fro and agednegiessess, equally splen
did and equally rotund, waddle like
hippopotami among their Anglo Saxon4
aud Celtic? fellow creatures. There
is nof only a craze for crinoline herer
but crinoline itself is crazy—huge, un
wieldy, preposterous.

MADGE WILOFIRE.
Sunday, 28th nit.,- intelligence wa'sT
brought to Galashiels, that an old wo-'
man of weak mind, well known to the
people of Galashiels and Melrose by
various cognomens—as Black Bess,
Bet Gramsley and Daft Bess—was ly
ing in a dying State near Elmand
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 ajf
the Doctors approached. The body
was conveyed to the sick house here,
and afterwards interred in the strang
er's plot at Ladhope burying ground.'
Fifty years ago, Elizabeth Graham was:
the rustic beauty, belle and toast of
Melrose audits neighborhood respect
ably brought up, and with health man
tling on her cheek, and guileless in
nocence her heart. Returning' home
one evening, she was set upon in the
gloomy solitude of Bogle Burn, and
there ruined. She returned home, or
rather she immediately forsook the
haunts of man, having become a .rar
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 dwe^
ling place, in' a rude cave in tbe 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 \vatcn' rts
grave. It was from this unfortunate
Sir Walter Scott drew the
charabter of Madge Wildfire in the
"Heart of Mid-Lothian." The par
ticulars of the sad case were quite well
known to him, residing in the nfeignL
borhood and the reader will observe
that there rs a striking coincfdenoe be
tween the real facts as we have briefly
detailed them, nnd the incidents of
the'novel as depicted bv the pen ot the
authoi of Waverly.—Border Adver
