Beauty

Is desired and admired by all. Among fhe things which may best be done to enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that adds greaily t» its charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore’ the cojor, bring out a

new growth, and render the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and

healthy, there is no better preparation in the market.

“T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is a genuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and

Abundant and Glossy,

but it has given my rather stunted mus- tache a respectable length and appear- ance,’’— R. Britton, Oak: 2nd, Ohio.

“My hair was coming out ( without any assistance from my wife, either), I tried Ayer’s Hair Vigor, using only one bottle, and I now have as fine a head of hair as any one could wish for.” --R. T. Sechmittou, Dickson, Tenn.

**T have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor i fami ly for a number of years, and re- gard it as the best hair preparation I know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife has used it for a long time with most satisfactory res suits.””— Benjamin M. Johnson, M.

Deak Str —The many scores of Bell Organs which I have had the pleasure of testing, have given me the ntmost satisfaction. They possess excellent qualities of tone and touch, and the general workmanship is first-class. Having been organist of St. Paul’s for 22 years, and during all that time teaching the piano and organ to up- wards of 400 persons in town and country, ex- perience hastaught me that Canada has turned out an organ which, for qualities reterred to above, and durability, is hard to excel.

A number of the inhabitants of Winsloee Seuth School District waited upon Miss Vessey on Tuesday evening, the 24th inst., at the residence of Mr. Edmund Horne and presented her with a handsome dress- ig case and the following address :- -

Dear TeachreR,—We cannot allow this happy Christmas time to pass without giving expression to the respect and esteem in which you are held by both parents and children in this district. Dariug the seven years you have been in charge of our schoo] we have had every reason to be highly satisfied with the very efficient manner in which you have in- structed the pupils under your care and we cannot fail to notice the great interest you have ever manifested in the advancement and welfare of our school. This, combined with your kindness and attention to all, will ever leave a tender and aifectionate feeling towards you in the hearts of both parents and children ; as an earnest, therefore, of gour deep regard for you you will please accept this small token with our many wishes for a bright and merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

To Messrs. Geo. Howard, Horne and others. GENTLEMEN,—It affords me great pleasure

and satisfaction to receive from you the senti-

ments conveyed in your address in behalf of my services among you. I can assure you that I deem myself undeserving of your very flattering address and that I am heartily thankful that my efforts for the advancement of your school have been appreciated.

1t is with much pleasure and many thanks that I accept your useful and very beautifal present.gNor do I accept it because of ita value only : I appreciate the motive which prompts your actions which tell me that 1 have your individual sympathy (so encouraging to @ teacher.) I shell always hold you in pleasant

remembrance for the many acts of kindness I

you and wishing you all a happy New Yeer, I remain, Yours very truly, lL. Mavpe Vessey. Wius!oe South, Dec. 26th. 1889.

Sir,—I have read several letters upon this subject i in your valuavie columns, and [| agree with ali that has been said, or at least with the principle involved, and I think that there is now an opportunity for the incom ng City Council to make them- selves dese: vedly popular by framing a bye- Jaw immediately upon entering into offive, in accord with public opinion as already ex- pressed by Mr. Chappelle and others. There is one aspect of the question which [ am somewhat surprised has not yet been spoken of, and it is this: Were our auction- eers loyal citizens they would not make themselves obnoxious by undertaking the holiday auctions compl: ained of. They may claim in defence ‘why should we throw away our living,”—but a man who lives for himself alone isa very poor citizen, aud should be left to himself by the citizens who provided him with his living at other times than during the the holiday season,

A Border Feud.

DISCOVERY OF TH SCENE OF A MASSACRE ON THE NORTHWEST PLAINS,

A few days ago the Winnipeg Free Press gave an account of the discovery of skeletons and Indian carts in the Northwest, near the boundary. H. Fegraus, a member of the Royal Geographical Society of Stockholm, the gentleman who made the find, furnishes additional particulars respecting the matter. He states that the skeletuns and carts were found on the north slope of the Souris coteau. Thies carts were drawn up ina slough, evidently for the purpose of de- fence, and the attacking party had their position on the hill immediately above, but moved afterwards’a little to the east,

towards which position the defenders were expose!, Mr. Fegius counted 200 cart- ridge shells at the position keld by the ag- gressors, so it may be assumed that the struggle was along and severe one. Be- sides three complete skeletons found in the

slough, there were many other human bones scattered about, and the re-

mains of six horses, numerous utensils, all riddled with bullets, and several axes were also strewn about the spot. Judging from the appearance of the place, the ourfit had not been plundered after the fight, which led Mr. Fegraus to believe that the attack- ing party was composed of white men, as Indians would not have killed the horses, aid would have looted the camp of their \ictims. The carts were almost honey- combed with bullet holes. They stood at the ioot of the slough bank, as they had been Jeft on the fatal day of the fight. Mr. Feyraus found, among other things, several stone pipes, some of them half tiled with tobacco; but the most interesting and pro- bably most important find, as it may tell the history of the fight, was a small board about a foot long and 3§ inches wide, on which was carved over JO Indian hiere- givphies, Indians, buffaloes and horses be- ig the principal objects delineated. Ac- cording to this Indian letter, the party were cut hunting and had madea vreat deal af pemmican, when they met a party of unfriendly Indians and had a fight, in which seven were killed. ‘The slat had been burned almost in two by a prairie fire, and the destroyed part somewhat interrupts the thread of the story. The little band of hunters was exterminated and the bodies lett to rot where they fell. ——— © a eterno New Year's at Souris.

The forencon was quiet. High Mass was celebraced in St. Mary's Church by the Pastor. The annual busi- ness meeting of the Presbyterian Congrega- tion was held in their Church at 11 a m, At 2 p. m. the grand parade of the Cali- thumpians took place. Never was there such fun for the small boys, and big ones too, as their comical procession creat- ed, Seated ona fiery charger at the head of it was Biz Bear Chief himself all adorued with feathers, paint and war like applianc- es of the most primitive description. He was in full command of the company, and, as he passed along the streets, cailed a halt in front.of some of the prineipal houses to put his iaen through their facings. Andrew, leading Jim Dandy, the trainei bear, took the cake. . Dandy represented the bear to perfection, only that he was a little clumsy in turning his somersaults Another year be may somersault better.

The horrible pr cession over, sleigh driv- ing was indulged in by everyone who could raise a team. A few cailers went the rounds, paying their » respects to iady friends and acquaintances, but this friendly custom was nut as universaily observed as in former years.

The day was one of the finest, and every- one seemed out for enjoymest. There was no drunkeaness visible acoag the people, the utmost sobriety and decoruin prevailing among all classes during this the first day of 1890.
