i. that she was unable to reply. Dear Pnpils,â€"I am sure it is with tender feelings of regret that I have to leave you. I thank you for the beauti ful present. I am sure she will prize it very much, and prize it still more when in after years seeds sown under her training take root, and little girls and ' boys grow up to be useful men and women. As for myself, I expected nothing. as the time spent with you has been very short, but that time has been pleasantly spent. Had I intended teach- ing I would like to have remained with you. I trust that you will pursue your studies as faithfully in the future as in the past. We know not but some day some of you may be occupying places of henor and responsible positions. I thank you for this beautiful ring. I shall ever hold it in dear remembrance of , the pleasant time spent with you. The children then sang “ We’ll never say good-bye in Heaven." ST.

CABNIVAL.-â€"â€"The rink was opened on New Year’s night for the first time since the thaw set in, and the ice was in fair condition. Unless there be more. soft weather, which is hardly likely, the masquerade carnival. postponed sine (lie on the 20th ult, will be held on Friday next, the lOth inst., and we need hardly any that Mr. E.

UNPRECEDENTED.â€"â€"On the evening of Tuesday last, the Blst of December, Cameron lake was free from ice, with the exception of a little attached here and there to the shore, and it is said that open water on new year's day is unprecedented within the memory of ,the oldest inhabitant of the village. _The long spell of mild weather had rendered the ice so weak and brittle that the violent west wind that set in on the morning of the last day of the old year broke it up and drove it over the falls, and by nightfall great masses of it were bobbing up and down and- grinding each other to pieces in the river below.

JOHNSTON & SISSON‘, lst Door East of Duly llouse, Lindsay Ssmous Acornsnr.â€"On Monday morning one of llmvry is; Son’s employ- ecs, named William Clark, aged 24 years, from Saginaw, Michigan, met with a very bad accident while rolling a leg up a skidway at Middaugh’s camp, N052. ncarGoodcrhatn. Froux some cause one end of the log swung around and broke the skid. which flew up and struck him on the lclt side of the head. and, slthmuh there is no external wound to be seen, the most serious consequences are to be apprehended, as there is an internal fracture causing a discharge of blood and water from the car at the rate of about one ounce per hour. His brother and a friend brought him to the Falls by train on Tuesday morning, and be non: lit-s at the hospital under the care of Dr. Wilson, who, we are sorry to hear. is not very hepeful of his patient's recovery. â€"..____¢... How They Captured Canada. The numerous generals that abound in civil life in the United States, all agree that the first thing to do in the event of war would be for the United States Army to take Canada. The idea is not new. Numerous generals m the United States had it at various times during the wars between Great Britain and their country. One of them. Mont» gamery, met a brave man's death under the walls of Quebec. One of them, “all, entered Bounds on a primer of 7 One of them, Dcnrborn, retired before the Canadian force at. anolle “If. river. One of them, Hampton, retreat~ ed from Chatcanqnny. One of them, Wilkinson, was driven back at Chrys- ler's farm. Three of them, Brown, Scmt and Ripley, retired in disorder from the field of Lundy's Lane. One of them, Van llensselaer. was driven back from Queenston Heights. Not one of them went out of Canada with the fame ot a cenqueror, and most. of them were fairly good men, too. It is easier fora general to talk of taking Canada to a newspaper interviewer than to carry out the task in the field.â€" zllonlrcul Gazette. *- The death sentence passed upon the Valleyfield murderer, Shortis, has been commuted to imprisonment for life. An Irish hunter brought the fine price of 650 guineas at a sale of horses at Messrs. Tattersall’s, London, last week. A woman weighing 509 pounds died at New Middleton, Ind., recently. She was said to be the largest woman in the state. The distribution of 3.200 Martini- Metford rifles and $600,000 rounds of ammunition to the volunteer forces has been completed at Kingston. A herd of Jersey cattle at Deposit, northern New York. has been found infected with tuberculosis and con- demned by the State inspectors. There is a five-foot vein of coal at Cherryvale, Kain, something like 450 feet below the surface, and it is goingr begging for capitalists to operate it. Mr. Jacob Eaton, who is one of the oldest residents at Melrose, Ont., and eighty years of age, husked three hun- dred bushels of corn this autumn. Peanuts have been successfully raised in Arizona this year. One man near Phoenix had a crop of 300 sacks. The first load of peanuts ever shipped out of Phoenix left there last week. An enormous flight of carrier pigeons was recently held in Paris. Sixty thou- sand birds were set loose in one morning from the neighbourhood of the Eiffel Tower, 5,000 of them starting at. one signal. It is reported that a large order for new rifles and other war material has been given by the Canadian Government in England. The steamer Damara, which arrived at Halifax, brought a quantity of ammunition, but this is said to be a part of the regular supply. It. is said that the oldest living man and wife in the United States are Louis and Amelia Darwin of Black Falls, Wis. The husband was born in 1788. or one year before the inauguration of the first President of the United States, and the wife was born in 1794. They have been married eighty years. Sergius Stepniak, the well known Russian refugee and author, was acci- dentally killed at Chiswiek on December 24th. He was going to visit a friend near his home. To reach this friend’s house he was compelled to cross a rail- way track, which here crosses at a glade. As he stepped on the track a train, which Mr. Stcpniak did not see, came along and struck him. His body was terribly mangled, and his death must have been instantaneous. Nigxlid-IRIED. MOFFATâ€"BISHOP.â€"Mt‘. Angus J. Moll‘at, foreman at the Snoqualmie bop ranch, and Miss Bertha E.
