A FEW FACTS OONUERNING LABRA~
lferhaps there is no region on this continent
of which the general idea is more cloudy and
indistinct than of Labrador. American fisher
men now more frequently extend their Disea
torial visits to its coasts than formerly, and, so
far as we understand, with good average suc
cess. Some interesting facts, going to shed a.
little light on the generiildarkncss with respect
to the natural history and meteorology of La—
brador, are presented in the 'fol’owing extract
from a. letter to the New York Journal of 00m
merce, written by one of a. party engaged in
co-jfishing along theshoreofi that bleak and
chilling land. He says:
“ From a themometrical register kept at
Rigolette, we find the lowest temperature oflast .
winter to be but. 37 degrees, which is no colder ,
weather than is found in New England; but
that season was unusually warm. The average
eummerday temperature, according to ourown
observations, is about 54 degrees. In one in
stance the thermometer indicated as high as
80 degrees in the shade, and in another 74 de—
grees. The lowest day temperature was 33
degrees, and the mercury several times sank to
~10 degrees. It is not intensity of cold, but the
raw, chilly atmosphere, impregnated with fogs
and the moisture of melting snow, that renders
necessary much thicker clothing than we wear
at. home in mid winter. Although the climate
is considered very healthy by the settlers, yet I
could hardly recommend it to invalids. To
those afliicted with weak or diseased lungs it. is
extremely injurious. Of this we had abundant
evidence in the three onscs among our passen
gers, all of which have been aggravated by the
j exposure. The winters here are very long, and
3 may be said to extend from the middle of Sep—
‘ temher to the first of June. The cold is quite
uniform, and the snow lies about four feet deep
on a. level. All that portion of the ocean em»
buyed by the chain of islands that extends
along the coast is frozen solid until May, and
the ice field sometimes extends beyond, several
miles to seaward. This is then the resort of
the Arctic foxes and the white or polar beer.
The ‘ Water hear’ he is called here. They are
often found upon'the islands after the breaking
up of the ice, where they have been left unex
pectedfy. They are quite numerous. 0f foxes,
large numbers are caught in traps. Thea:-
live altogether upon the coast, and do not fra
ternize with the other species of fox in the in
terior. Snow may be said to disappear by the
end of May, but it is found in gulloys and hol
lows all through the summer.
. “Labrador water we cannot recommend. II
is but the draining of melting snow and frozen
cart-h, which, percolating through the moss,
becomes a rank decoction, filled with vegetable
matter, and of the color of whisky. Natural
springs are rare, but we have frequently found
ponds and lakes upon the summits of rocky
knoll-s, which appear to be fathomless, and
whose water was pure and deliciously cold. Ar
. I have remarked, there are no roads in this
country, and the only thoroughfares of travel
in summer, are the water courses which flow
from the interior. I have referred at length to
the Nor’west river. and its immense outlet.—
The St. Francis or Alexis river is the only one
of considerable size between that and the
Straits of Belle Isle. It is a noble stream, but
neither that nor the other is indicated on any
maps yet made.
“Labrador furnishes little sport to the an
gler. Salmon are taken in immense quantities
in nets, but will not. meddle with the hook;
neither will sea trout or salmon trout. Brook
trout aiford the only sport. The winter hunting
is good. The only deer found here is the ear
ribou and reindeer. These are by some con
sidered as one and thesamc, but the Settlers
make them quite distinct. The one is mottled
with reddish spots ; the other is of a. mouse
color in summer, and nearly white in winter.
From all I can learn. the two animals are
indentical, and the diii’erence in appearance is
occasioned by the change of coat. The rein
deer is not domesticated here, nor made to
draw sledges, as in Lapland. Their time of
fawning is two months later than in the States,
and they are in the velvet until near the end of
August. - Trapping the fur-bearing animals
afiords a considerable - profit, and quite fre
quently the hunter is rewarded by a black or
silver fox, whose market prices are from forty
to sixty dollars.
“We cannot but remark how carefully the
animals of this icy country are protected by
nature from their enemies. When man goes
‘ forth upon the snow to hunt, where, upon the
spotless mantle, the smallest object would be.
readily revealed, then they are robed in white.
i The white partridge flies up from his very feet,
' where be perceived but lumps of feathery $.39“-
i The deer, bear, fox, ermine, all clad in white,
«pass him with impunity. Did not hunger lead
them to the traps,“ their deeply embedded
’ tracks ‘prate of their whereabouts,’ seldom
} would they fall a victim to man. In the sum—
. mer they are slaty and mouse-colored, like the
! rocks, or wood-colored, like the trees, and in
‘ many an imaginary rock, or stick, or stub, there
I is animal life, which will take to itself legs or
: wings when opportunity of easy escape ofi‘ers.”

to get it, it appeared at. table late in the fif

up with peas; eplcures looked out for a slice
from the tongue or the tail. The grampns, or

A DnA'm Ema—A short time ago a. gentle
man, in Paris while examining an ancient ring
for sale, accidentally scratched his hand with
it, and. a. short time afterwards, felt an inde
scribable numbness and torpor taking posses
sion of him and paralyzing, all his faculties:—
The declaration of a doctor who was called in,
that the sufi‘erer had been poisoned, led to an
examination of the ring, when it was found that
the old jewel was what is called a. "Death
ring,” a class ofornamems in frequent use 111'
Italy duringthe seventeenth centu‘ry, when the
habit of poisoning was all put nntversal. At

worn inside the finger are two‘ minute lion’s
claws, of the sharpest steel, and having cleft:
in them filled with :1 violent poison. The wear
er of this fatal ring. wishing to exercise re
venge on any one, would take the victim’s
hand, and pressing it, over so gently, the sharp
claw would he sure to inflict a slight scratch
on the skin. and the victim would be equally
sure to be dead before the next morning. Not—
withstanding the length of time which must
have elapsed since the poison was secreted in
the ring in question, it was still powerful
enough to cause great danger, as has been seen,
to the gentleman who had summarily touched

GETTING PensoruL.——Sir Henry Bulwer. the
English Embassador, lately had an interview
with the Sultan, in which. after remrmstrating
upon the incapacity of the Sultan’s officers in
the provinces, he suggested some reforms in
the internal policy of the Empire, and said,
among other things: “Women are expensive
in Turkey, and in your Mmesly’s household
they cuuse enormous waste. This your Mu—
jesty knows, and you have ordered pruaent
reforms; but perhaps not sufficient for the
situation." This decided language was made
more so by the interpreter, and the Sultan,
evidently supposing that. the “great. powers"
were going to curtail his wife department,
declared that while he was willing to receive
advice, he would not be insulted, nnd immedi
ately retired. It was not before the next day
that explanations could he made sotisfuctory,
and Sir Henry admitted to another interview.
