The measure has been meted Of many who have greeted The New Years of the past, Ties have been severed, Hearts have been wrung, Hopes have been blighted, Parting odes sung. | Friends are united who tearfully cast | The lingering look which on earth proved the last : Lovers and sweethearts have taken their stand | On the shores of a brighter and happier land. wise are the resolutions, but God can ' Happy New Year! Noble the vows which none know : | Leavy es have been turned, unstained, free from pollutions ; Prayers have gone up for streagth to keep them so. Many will be broken That to-day are spoken In a mother’s ear; Many leaves unspotted Will, too soon, be blotted Stained by many a tear. Many whose laughter Rings on the air Soon will be weeping, Sad, in despair. Some who are now by misfortune cast down Soon will be wearing the conqueror’s crown ; Fortune’s swift wheel many changes shall bring | Ere anotber New Year speeds around in his ing. Welcome, New Year! teach us ;— Time is but short and life is but a span. Swiftis the race we run, nue soon must reach us The destiny marked out for ev ‘ry man. this lesson dost thou Let us, then, be careful, Diligeut and prayerful, Liviog ev'ry hour: Little time for sinning We can find, if winning Heaven tor a dower.

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.

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.
