The Boswali Family.
The family of Boswall is supposed to have been established in Scotland in the reign of David I. It obtained the Barony of Balmuto, in the County of Fife, in the be- ginning of the 15th century, by the mar- riage of Sir John Boswall wich Mariota daughter and co-heir of Sir John Glen The grandson of this marriage, David Bos- wall of Balmuto, was twice marriec. The son of the first marriage, Sir Alexander, carried on the line of Balmuto, and is in existence there at the present day. The sou of the second marriage, Thomas Bos- wall], obtained from James IV., with whom he was in high estimation, the lards and Barony of Auchinleck. He fellat Flodden, and was succeeded by his only son David Boswall, who married a daughter of the first Earl of Arran. Seventh in descent from this David Boswall, sprang Alexander Boswall, Lord Auchinleck, one of the Sen- ators of the College of Justice, and a Lord of Session. This eminent lawyer had a self-vpinion of his ability, and of his superiority over others. These peculiarities he imbibed from his aris- tocratic relations. His mother was a daughter of the second Earl of Kincardine. He highly valued his advantages as a good scholar, and an able lawyer of great estate and ancient family. He was, moreover, & a strict Presbyterian, and a Whig of the old Scottish caste. This did not prevent his frequent ebullition of feeling when oc- casion arose, and great was the contempt he entertained, and expressed, for his son James, the nature of his friend- ships and the character of the personages with whom he associated. To a friend, His Lordship once said, **‘ There is nae hope for Jamie, he is gaen clean gyte. Wha dae ye think he has pitned himself to now, man?” And here the old judge sumed up with a sneer of the most sovereign contempt, a Dominie mon; an auld Dominie. He keepit a schule and called it an academy.” This great orna- ment of the Boswall family died in 1788 and was succeeded by his son James, the friend and biographer of Dr. Johnson. James was born in Edinburgh in 1740. He studied law in the Universities of Edinburgh end Glasgow, and was called to

ship of literary men, and was introduced
to Dr. Johnson in 1763. In 1790 he pub-
lished his life of the great moralist, which
obtained an extraordinary degree of popu-
larity. He also wrote a work on the great
Douglass Peerage case. He died June
19th, 1795, and was succeeded by his son, | Alexander Buswall, who was created a Baronet, August 16th, 1821. Sir Alexander fell the following year in a duel arising out of the political disputes of the period, by the hand of James Stuart, of Dunearn. He was succeeded by his son the late Sir James Boswall, who died in 1857 without male issue, when the title of Boronet and the male line of the Boswalls of Auchinleck be- came extinct.
Another branch of the Boswall family is now represented by Sir George Houston Boswall, of Blackadder in Berwickshire. Sir George married Euphemia Boswall, heiress uf Blackadder, hence the assump- tion of the name.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Letter From a P. E. Islander in the Northwest.
Srr,—For the benefit of a number of my friends at home, ir P. E. Island, who have asked me from time to time to tell them something about the part of the Northwest in which I live, I will in a few words try to satisfy them.
It is of no use for me to say unything about that part of the Northwest through which the C. P. R. rans, for you know as much as I do about it. _It has been pic- tured before you many a time through the columns of THe ExamINER; therefore, I will only speak about the Fort Saskatche- wan and Beaver Lake districts, where I have lived for three years.
The first that I wou!d say is: Any young man who has enough means to make a good atart and knows how to work and save; any young man who has an ambition to get on in this world, I say there is no better place in Canada for bim than in the Northwest. But, mind you, he need not think he can come to the Northwest and fold his arms and get rich. He must work, and work hard, as some of our fathers and grand- fathers did, and then he will, without a doubt, be rewarded wit! rich returns. And no matter how plentii.l his harvests may be, he can get sale for every grain of it at a very p2ofitable price.
Nature has clothed the ils and hollows alike with a rich and heavy growth of grass. There is no scarcity of feed for horses and cattle; the farmer can get all the feed for his cattle and horses during winter just by cutting it and hauling it in. Nature suws the seed. Then, in winter, he can provide the wood or coal for the whole year, and can also do a good business in trapping fur animals (on the side.) There are all kinds of fur-bearing animals here, mink, muskrat, fisher, otter, beaver, mar- tin, racoon, lynx, red, black and silver-grey foxes, wolf, coyote, bear, &c. Fowls, such as ducks, prairie chickens, partridge, wavies, geese, snipe, plover, pigeons, &c., are in abundavce. Larger game, such as deer, mocse, elk, &c., are very plentiful yet, and the lakes abound with fish of various kinds, such as trout, whitefish, pike, pickerel, gold eyes, &c. In fact, the Northwest was made for the white man to live in, and not, assome ignoramus has said, for the Indians aioue.
You see, nu man need be hungry i a country like this ; no man need be poor in a country like this; for if a man with all these privileges and advantages under his nose would be either hungry or poor, he would undoubtedly be a lazy man. and a lazy man has no business to come here at all, to be in other people's way. He must be a man who can and will werk. He must be a man who can stand a little cold during winter, also put up with being bitten to a considerable degree with mosquitoes in summer. But if,he can stand neither of those, why, then, my advice to him is: stick to old P. E. Island forever, and drop the notion of coming to this glorious, bright-futured Northwest, the samo as 4 cat would drop a hot potato.
Yours truly, James H. Burke.
Captain of the Grenadier Guards, son of George Houston Boswall, Baronet, married
of Ravenscrag. The late Alexander Henry Boswall, M.
fur many years studied in Edinburgh, Scot- land, and won for himself the highest de- grees and greatest honors of his profession. Receiving his diplomas he tovk a tour
seif fur many years in Somersetshire, Eng- land. Not being content with his exten-) sive practice and numerous relatives, he came to P. E., Island, where he endeared himself to buth rich and poor, for his hospitality and his appreciated services to the sick and dying. On _ his death bed he wished to be carried to his carriage so that he might, be able to ad- minister to the ailing. His death is still fresh in the hearts of many, and his funer- al will never be forgutten. It was his last request that all who attended his burial should have a large repast awaiting them in Charlottetown on their return from lay- ing his body to rest. This was partaken of—many shedding tears for the dear old Doctor. Dr. Boswall left a widow, who only survived him six months, and four children, still living, to mourn their irre- parable loss, viz., Ann Burston, widow of the iate William S. McGowan, William, James, Harriet, wife of Robert Galbraith, and Albert.
The Arms of Boswall are: Ar. on a fesse sa. three cinquefoils of the field; on a canon. az. a lymp hac within a double tressure flora. Flora or Crest—A falcon ppr hooded qu belled ar. Supporters—On either side a greyhound ar, with liver- colored spots, gorged with a plain collar. Sa charged with three cinquefoils, as in the arms. Line relflexed over the back. qu. Motto, Fortiter.

Apvice to Morsxrs.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, *!lays al! pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, aud is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. (April l 88
