WILD GAME ON LAKE SUPER1oR.-Du-
ring the past winter the Indian hunters
OF this vicinity, found the red deer quite
numerous, where scarcely one was killed
the winter previous. These animals ap-
pear to be coming westward from regions
farther east in Canada, and most of them
are found on the Canadian side. The
reindeer have been found more often with
IN ~, Two or three years past than formerly.
ne hunters also report the beaver more
NUM- numerous at this time than they have
been ior many years, which is accounted

has been gwen to trapping them.

SINGULAR ATTACHNENT.-Upon Colonel
Kings plantation, near this place, there
IS certain old gander so attached to one
Of the milk cows that he follows her
wherever she goes. He has been seen
Flooding at her heels several miles from
nome, never permitting her to escape his
sight. When caught and confined, he
displays the greatest uneasiness, and
never ceases his squalls until he finds the
object of his devotion. The COW mani
tests little or no attention to his constant
heart. The gander holds no converse
with the other geese, but passes them by
with melancholy silence. He has been
IN this state great while. We would
like TO have some of the older ones express
their opinion, and endeayor to explain
the mystery. From some of his move
Inents, we have beer led to believe that
he IS strong believer in Spirit Rap

THE TIDE OF DEATH.
AZ NOV. ROBERT NJ. CHARLTON

NON RpBskI VI thAkLltNs
The tide rolls on, the tide rolls on
The never ceasiBg tide,
That sweeps the pleasures from our hearts,
Tue loved ones from our side
That trings Affections to our Tot,!
And anguish and despair,
And bears from youths unruff1ed brow
The charms that fingered there
The tide rolls on wave after wave.
Its swelling waters now:
Before Il all is bright and fair;
Beh nd IL all 10 woe
The infant from its mothers breast,
The gay and blooming bride,
Are swept away and bone along
BY that resistless tide.
The tide rolls on: the soldiers eye
Grows dim beneath its swell;
The scholar shuns the mystic love
That he hath loved so well;
The monarch puts the crown aside,
Anc iaber's weary slave
Rejoices that limbs will know
The quiet of the grave
The tide rolls on like summer brook,
IL piideth TO the sad;
But. like dark winters angry tide,
H nIsheth to the glad.
From sungly hall and lOwly cot,
From battle field and hearth,
II sweeps into obIivion's sea
The jewellers on the earth.
Roll on, thou dark and turbid wave.
Thou canst not bear away
The record of the good and brave,
That knoweth not decay;
Though fierce may rush thy billows' strife,
ThOsgh deep thy current be,
Still faith shall lift thy beacon high,
And guide US through thy sea.
