Hole, and commenced his operations in the two 
caves where Mr. Northmore had made his original 
discoveries; among other treasures we hear that 
Mr. Buckland discovered the blade of a knife be- 
longing to the ancient Britons, made of flint, about 
two inches and a half long, and half an inch broad. 
The public, we understand, are likely, in the course 
of the present year, to have the gratification of pe- 
Tusing an account of these antediluvian curiosities in 
the expected new edition of Mr. Buckland’s work, 
if not also from the pen of Mr. Northmore.

SCOTLAND. 
Lately, while some workmen were employed in 
digging a new road on the estate of Drumduan, near 
Forres, belonging to Colonel Fraser, H.E.I. C.S., a 
gentleman happened to pass, when they were levelling 
the Gallow-hill, about 200 yards east of Nelson's 
monument, and directed their attention to a parti- 
cular spot, where they found a human skeleton, en- 
tire, and in good preservation. The shoes were also 
found, containing the sinews of the feet, quite 
fresh. The circumstances connected with this dis- 
covery are curious, and indisputably true. About 
eighty years ago, a soldier was sentenced to be shot 
for desertion, and, to heighten the impression, he 
was led out from the gaol of Forres to the Gallow- 
hill, dressed in his grave-clothes, on a St. Lawrence 
market-day._ The runner, who had stopped at 
Burn-end (formerly a public-house, about two miles 
east from Forres), arrived about an hour after the 
sentence had been executed, with, among other 
despatches, a reprieve for the poor fellow. The 
spot where the skeleton was found was generally 
known by the name of the ‘‘ Sodger’s Grave;” and 
there are two or three of the inhabitants who re- 
member the day on which he was shot. It is not 
long since the man who made the coffin (James 
Smith) died. Part of the shoe is in the possession 
of our informant. Several skeletons were found in 
the immediate neighbourhood, which, we presume, 
without any great violation of probability, may have 
lain there since the celebrated battle against the 
Danes and Norwegians. We are strengthened in 
this opinion, when we reflect that the hieroglyphic 
obelisk to the memory of Swenno, the Danish King, 
is within a quarter of a mile of the place. 
The Evmine.—A few days ago, a little animal was 
caught in a gentleman’s grounds, a few miles from 
Glasgow, which, upon examination, turned out to: 
be the true ermine. It was kept in life for a few 
days by the gardener; but it unfortunately died, sup- 
posed from the want of its proper food.
