Qoold, of Dub lia, late and iuterexsog intelligeoce is afforded respecting ttaHC!TiiL..ijow prosecuted by Captain Hall for tracee'or remains cf the Krebus' and Terror aod their crews. In August, 18G7, Captain Hall was at Hopuüe Day, ptepsring an expedition to King Williams' Land, where, from information obtained from tbe Esquimaux, it seers, beyond doubt, that some important teoords and some bodies of the FrankliS Expedition are still preserved. The point to be reached was lour hundred and ifty miles north of i Repulse Diy, and in a.-country the in habitants ot which werf known to be hostile to Europeans and to the Esquimaux living at Repulse Day. It was the opinion of the latter, who are known to be King Albert's followers, that Franklin's men bad been killed bj King William's men. According to Dative information, the laat six survivors of the party built a csvern or rude vault ot stones, and de rosited in it soma documents and such articles as they bad no une for, or would ! be su incumbrance to tkem in their jour M oey .outhward. It ia Dr. Hall's object to reach this depository, aod from his ! well know intrepidity, energt aud en-, durance, it may be presumed that no dun ger or hardships will deter bim from his purpose.

Care of House Planta. Do not remove the plants to the bouse until there is dinger of frost, and then give them abundance of air and light. And here we will say that some of the finest ptsuts we ever saw wcie kept in a south chamber, in which there was no fire, but adjoining a room which waa warmed by a stove. There is generally more danger from too much heat than" too little. For sucb plants ai geraniums, petunias, fachlas, roses, oleanders, eto , a temperature from 45 to 05 degrees ia abundantly warm. Perhaps the greatest obstacle to succces in window gardening lies in the dryness of the air. When houses were warmed in tha old fashioned way, by fire places or Wood stoves, with abaodaoce of cracks at the windows and doors to let in fresh air, fdants grew very well And now wben a ew plants ore kept in I kitchen window, where the air Is charged with vspor from the boiling water, they often thrive with old fashioned luiurilnci. How, then can we modify the parchLair of our parlors aod sitting rooniil.Otie way is to keep a psn of wstrr evap" rating onour. stoves and in the air chiiber of our furnaces. In addition to this, pW. table for tha plants is wide as the winiuw and just tho height of the window sill,' Fasten a rim around the border of the tablo two Inches high, and line the whole with tine.

A Strang Story, LOST 8I8TIRS FODND - A CIIILD 8TOLIN TWCNTT YEARS AOO. The Galveston llulUtin say: "One of the strangest incidents of doroestio life that ever came under our notice occurred on Tuesday of the present week. The story is thus told: Mr. Uowen is a widow of forty-one years old, whose busband died laut year of yellow fever. Thiity years sgo, being- then only eleven years marriage was a daughter which was sto len from school, and seeina to have been reared in almost total ignorance of her family. 'All that we know of the child is that she is now a lady of twenty-nine years, aod resides in her uative State. Abodt a year since Judge Dean, of Balls, Dean & Watson, received letter from this Jady, saying that she believed her aunt resided ia Galvestoo, and that she desired to kuow of her wheieabout. Af ter inquiring, he found the missing sunt to be Mrs. Dowen. Tbe Isdies were put in communication, and tbe one in Alabsma assured that her mother, from whom sbe had been stoleo, wss dead. Thus matters rested until last Tuesday, wben a Mrs. Martin, at the suggestion of a mutual frieod, was in trod need to and visited Mra. Dowen. During the conversation that followed it became plain that tbey teere aislers, aod that Mrs. Martin was the mother of the Alabama lady who was stoleo twenty-five years since. Thus the two met and were recognized, after an ab ""ce of tlnrty years, witli never a strsw berrJ m"rk 00 tbe ,eft ri of "ber. üue "u,er bd been resident of Galve. loD fourteen years and the Other tight Ho,b rft hTVS in tha meeting, and in ,h prospect of soou seeing the daughter of oue aud the niece of tho other.
