"hation the word- wul likely soon be very ap- prupmte to British soldiers matching on w some ot the Russian cities. The following description of the above was published some time ago in tho Week. ly Globe:--. Eugenia is nsccnc of wild and rugged bounty which is destined to eventually be. come a. favoured resort of luv-cm of the pieturcsque from all parts of Canada, but which, owing to its, being somewhat la- moto from the most frequented routes of travel, is at the present day almost un- known except to dwellers in its immediate neighborhood. It is situated in the" town- ship of Artemenia, in the county of Grey, about syimsty miles north-west from Toron. to, thirtrfHe miles south-east from Owen Sound, and six miles from the Fleshcrtou Station of the Toronto, Grey * Bruce Railway. These falls are situated on the Beaver l River. a. stream which takes its rise in the I township ot Osprey, several miles east of Feversham, and after pursuing a rapid and l devious course of about forty-three miles, i pours into the Georgian Bay nt the village of Thornhury. In the month of August, 1858, three brothers named Purdy took up their abode near the brink of the entaruct, and made in small clearing. The country thorenbouts was at that time uninhabited, except by deer and wandoring tribes of In. diam. and was of the wildest description. Tho Messrs. Purdy built tt saw-mill and a grist-mill a short distance above the falls, and a few settlers gradually came in and formed the nucleus of a small village,upou which the name of Eugenia was bestowed. Two of the brothers still resides in the vil- lage, and one occupies the position of post- master. The town-plot consists of eight hundred acres, and is a mile and a quur- i ter long by a. mile in breadth. It was sur- _ veyed during the progress of the Crimean war, several years before the advent of the Partly brothers, and the names of its streets --Alrms, Bulaklavn. Codrington, Ruglm, &e.--eonunemorate the names of 501110 of the battles and heroes of that struggle. The village is situated within a. few yards of the brink of the falls, and at present has a population of nearly s hundred and forty. The actual height of the falls is only ' seventy feet,and the quantity of wear which pours over the precipice is at no time of the your very great, but the sir " roundinés are so wild and majestic that the View. seen from any point of the com. pass, is singularly impressive and sublime. No matter from what direction they are approached. the falls are not visible until the spectator is within a. few yards of the brink, but their tumultuous roar may be‘ distinctly heard for a considerable dis. tance. and on a still sumnur eveningl sometimes reaches to the railway station, l , six miles away. The rocks on both side-l [of the river are precipitous, and on thel right bunk, just below the falls, rise to a height of nearly two hundred feet, formingl an imposing background to the View from‘ the opposite side. Below the cataract thel stream rushes with great velocity through) a wild, savage, and narrow glen, the loftyi side: otblueh are clothed with trees and‘ l shrubs-the latter being in some instances of porteutioua growth. The wooded heights stretch directly onwarde for a short distance, after which thev broaden l out and incline to the right, thus shutting Our ill-puck: lung.

Eugenia. Falls. POETRY, Hating inspected the base ot the falls and the immediate surroundings, the via- itor will find it worth while, before ascend- l ing the steps to the upper bank, to ’pick bis way among the roeky botilders and I tangled brushwoed fur a short distance , down stream. The rocks here Assume all isorts of fantastic shapes, iml form them- {selves into miniature caves and "passes," which will recall to the visitor's mind vari. ous scenes in "Waverley" and the "Lady of the Lake." Having proceeded thus tor about four hundred yards, he will come to I the site of an epiacde of a quarter otis cen- ltury ago which is wcrth recounting. In I the spring of the year 1852, before the l'-tov.vn1-1:,t" 11ml been surveyed, and be. i (on: anyone had seriously thought of set- tling m the neighborhood of Eugenia l F'alls, it ehanee wanderer from the adja- out the falls from View. Visitors to this place who are familiar with the wild Mid romantic glens of the Highlands of Scat- land will here he forcibly reminded of those faraway scenes. The falls are inaccesible from the right) bank, which, as we have seen. is preeipit- l 0118, and rises to a great height at this ‘ spot. On the opposite side a flight of wooden steps has been erected whereby the visitor may descend to the very base of the falls, and, if so minded, may pass be- I hind the sheet of water, though the exploit is 0. attended with some danger, owing to the blinding and stifling force of the spray. T he pool into winch the cataract leaps is of enormous depth, and though frequent attempts have been made to fathom it, no .bottom has ever yet been found. The In- dians who formerly reared their wigwams in those {lime-val solitudcs Lad a wild le- gcnd that n monstrous serpent made its house at the bottom of this abyss, only coming to the surface at the end of every thousand years. An adventurous swim- mer, until lately nmident in the village, evidently had no faith in the legend, as he upon one (.cension dived into the pool from behind the falls, mnerging in front. This font was accomplished in summer, during low water, but though the diver de. scended to a grout depth he described the sensation of the water falling upon hil back as being like the strokes of an enor- mous bludgeon, wieldcd in the hands of a 'giant, 110 came out of the ordeal safely, but never rupentcl his foolhai‘dy experix nient. _ ttrl t rwnship of l'lupltvasiu, who had con- “ :rixul to serartil4err,uuthe left bank of “ Ihu rim-r, made what he supposed to be a t'r morlivnpcrrtunt discovery. He pcreeivtd A nnmng tho rocks it shining substance b which to his inexperienced eyes, seemed p to he gold, and upon looking around him 5 he found that this substance was there in l: grout abundance. He was totally unac- tt quainte-d with mining operations, and was '1 constrained to take several of his acquaint- ' ancesiuto bis confidence on the subject. c h few days more found them all at work, C as if for dear life,undcr the impression l that eronthose desolate wilds could not 3 long hold so momentous a secret. They l were, moreover, in dread lest the Govaru. 1 went should hear of tn: all-important du. , emery. and interfere with their free min- t ing operations. How the secret got a- l lu‘ond '. whether it was carried down stream f l by the birds of the air or by the fish in the , stream, cannot now be cert-inly known; I hut the adventurers had been at work only i a couple of days when a prospecting party t uppcarcd upon the scene. and discovered , them from the brink of the precipice 1 above. Descending into the chasm, the I now-comers insistod upon participating in _ the glorious harvest. A parlcy ensued, and an amicable understanding was ur- rived M. A few minutes saw the whole party working with almost superhuman efforts, in order to make their "piles" be. fore other prospecting parties should ap- pear to share the fruits of their enterprise. Among the fresh arrivals was an outer- prising wnggon maker from the county of York, who had happened to he in the neighborhood, and who had thus gained only intelligence of the "great find." m made a rush with the rest to the scene of operations, and worked, it possible, more iuitustriously than any other member of the party. Having filled a bag with us much of the precious Mutt " he could on- ry/he started for his home-several days' journey through the turost-oitrrying his _ heavy load upon his back. an qtrtbt did , Christian his burden. 9n the afternoon ' ot the third day after leaving the digging: y he arrived, weary and foot-sore, at his i destination. Hopo lent him an unnatural ' vigour, and without pausing to root him. ' self after his toilsome journey he kindled Bl, , fire in his forge and proceeded to malt 1 down a. handful of his treasure. Anon the I sulphuroul fumesnrose and nearly chok- t ed him with their horrible stench. A few . moments more, and the truth broko upon 1 him, in all its sickening horror. m had , l carried home nearly o hundred weight of Ilrock, charged with iron pyritosl The fir,i,iie.ii metalis still to be found in the l "diggings" in great abundanco,ud most E l visitors carry any a piece of it u . Ion- D 2 venir of the spot. Several years ago the quiet residents I) Eugenia village were startled by the and- den appearance in their streets of I large‘ deer, which bounded along at breakneck Ipe'ed with a hound in full cry in its rear. We have referred to the fact that the full: are invisible until the spectator in litenlly flee-brace with them. It is to be pre- mum] thst neither am nor hound was ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO familiar with the locelity, " they both, rushed frontienlly towards the bank of the river with the speed of stones hurled from n sling.

Over it went, s few yards below the eatamet, and woe literally ( dashed to pieces on the jagged rocks below. l The hound followed, and met I similar _ fate. Some of their whitened bones me, be seen among the stones to this day. The I deer referred to is not the only one which i has met its doom at this spot. Mr. Purdy, l, the local postmaster, a few years ago pick. l ed up the antlers of an enormous moose in a chasm of the rock, not far below ther' falls. One of the antlers is broken off, but when complete they must have measured about five feet from tip to tip. Their own- er keeps them on exhibition in his office, which is situated about a. hundred yards! from the cataract. He also has a minim titre museum of stones and roots taken _ from the chasm below the falls. together‘ with some ehmee specimens of the “Fool's Gold" already referred to. Some of the roots are of very fantastie shapes, and by means of lapping of n. twig here and n twig there. Mr. Purdy has worked them into a resemblance to fossil remains of antodilusGn times. The neighborhood of these falls has come to be a favourite resort of picknick- ing parties from the villages in this and the adjoining towiships, and a number of I swings and Arbors have been 'g',':.";',,':,) for the accommodation of visitors.

The next morning he f, was found on the floor, apparently unable ty to move. Ilis story was timt he haul got 1 l up to look out of the window, that he had l fallen backwards across his bed, and that he , Jind injured his spine. For nine weeks h Neale was in the intirmary.

His general health , .improved, but the symptoms of spinal I i paralysis remained unchanged.

The audience were moved to l a tears; the barristers, not usually the mostl 1 sympathetic of mortals, shook their bendai l and evinced signs ot commisoration; the a learned judge was visibly affected, midi i could hardly restrain his emotion. "The in- 1 l diction you are suffering under," said his _ Lordship, “ampules any punishment 1 r can give you." and he accordingly proceed- i ed to sentence the offender to eighteen I months' imprisonment, which he afterwards l oat of mercy reduced to twelve. Sentence 1 having been passed, the convict was curriedi , back into the gaol, and herenpon ensued A the strungest part of thin rcmnrhble 1 history.

Scotia, which arrived at Liver. I pool on Monday Morning, brought with l her two young lads, Richard and Philip Valet, eleven and twelve years old respect- ively. who had found their way to England under the extraordinary circumstances stated below. The lode belong to Montre- al, and the donation of their father and the enhseqnen death of their mother left them destitute. They were received into the St. Patrick‘s Home at Montreal, until they were sent for by their grandmother at Halifax. The fathers of the Home rent them off by the train which conveyed the passengers for the Sardinian, placing them under the protection of the eonduc- _ tor. The large number of passengers, however, and the consequent confusion. seemed to have so occupied this odieial that he was neglectful of his dial-3e. and the two boys, "going in the swim," were eoon on board the Sardinia». They had a vague idea of having to erase a ferry st Halifax and meant no disrespect when they took the stately liner Sardinia" for an un- lprctcnding ferry boat. This "ferry." however. proved unuenally broad, and very soon attention was directed to the two poor lads, who crouched otrdeek look. ing very much seared and distressed. Their I history was soon told, bat as the pilot had left them was nothing for it but to give them I trip across the Atlantic.
