An INDIAN RESERVE TRAcT.-A
Minnesota surveying party recently re-
turned from survey of an Indian re-
serve tract at Melt Lake, in the Yer
million country, about two hundred
miles north Of Superior, and within
less than fifty miles Of the British
lines. The country is represented as
of the most worthless description, COM
posed mainly of cedar and spruce
swamps, streams and shallow lakes !:
tut the Bots Fort indians regard it as
little less than paradise. Rabbits are
extremely abundant, as well as fish,
and there is also no limit to the wild
rice. One lake within the limits Of the
reserve, covering about 5000 acres, it
is said, contains 6,000 acres of wild
rice. A few cariboo are found in the
tamarack swamps, but there are no
deer, bears or other kinds of game.
The st. Paul Press says: 1--WE sincere
ly trust the Indians will be SO well sat
isfied with this location as never to
show their ugly faces among civilized
people again"

NEGRO HORSE AND MULE THIEVES.
There appears to be a regularly organ
ICED clan of negro thieves in this parish,
banded together for the purpose of
stealing horses and mules. and for the
last few months they have been doing
. paying business. On Tuesday last,
four or five of these thieving rascals
were taken up and lodged in our Jail
for safe keeping. Mr.. Arnold and Mr..
Hilton. of this parish, have had some
sixteen or seventeen mules stolen from
them within the past two months--not
more than one or two being stolen at
time. A shrewd, cunning negro,
named Dave" was al the head of this
gang. riding about through the coun.
try and disposing of the stolen prop
erty. How they were able to. follow
the business SO long and so successful
~, is to us mystery, We should like
toihase photograph of "Dave," with
onesnd of rope tied round his neck,
and the other eed fastened to a black
jack limb. We understand that some
eigbtor tensof the mules. have been
recovered since the arrest ofthe thieves,
and the owners are upon the track OF
others. We hope that a salutary exam
plaI will BE- made of these thisying
scounareis. TJ ae 20

THE WEATHER AND THE MAILS
For the last week we have enjoyed a
very bad "spelr' Of weather. On Sat
urday last we had large snow, for
this section ofcountry, and on Tuesday
night the rain came down in perfect
torrents, causing the creeks and little
branches to rise to such an exent, that
travelling is impossible, We have had
no mail from Shreveport since Monday,
and the Lord only knows when we will
set smother. There are oneor twos small
creeks between hereand Benton, which
are swimming after Q heavy shower of
rain--the consequence is, the stage
cannot pass, and we are left without a
mail. We should think 1t was the duty
Of the Police Jury to have these creeks
bridged, 80 that we might receive our
mail matterwith more regularity. That
sugust body appears to think that good
roads and bridges are Injuries. which
ought MOTTO be tolerated in this parish.
They go through the ridiculous farce
OF appointing road overseers and ap.
portioning the hands to work on them !;
theFe the work ends as it begun; NOT
aparsicle of work is done on the roads
from one years end to the other, and
the consequence is that the roads in
this parish are in q most disgraceful
condition, without the least prospect Of
getting any better. Is there no remedy
for this state Of thingsl We pause
for reply.

How A YOUNG WOMAN STOLE PAN
LooNs.-A young lady by the name
of Ell erbert was caught the other even
ing in the act Of stealing pants in a
ready-made clothing store in Montreal.
Her mOdgs operandi was, after carry
ing the unmentionables (which she
made at home for the frm) into the
back store, she would draw on two or
three pairs, and by turning up the legs
SO that they could not be seen below
her dress. she would pass out unnotic-
ed Exchange.
A woman who is mean enough to
steal "unmentionables" per Sc, when
the same can be had so easily, with all
the accompanying paraphernalia, by
the mere asking for-should be forced
to swear them!'

teadfast friend. Yes, sir, friend who

steadfast friend. Yes, sir, friend who
was ever ready to rejoice with me when
i rejoiced, and weep with me when
sympathy demanded a tear. Deprived
Of the advantages of an early education
BY the sad reverses of fortune, he Ras
thrown upon his own resources and be-
came the architect of his own fortune.
He was born for the grandest duties
which the discipline of adversely exaets,
for the sternest self-sacrifces which
misfortune imposes upon her children.
His character may be likened to plain
column hewn out of some granite hill,
which by its uprightness, its devotion
and solidity, might act as guide and
land mark of primitive beauty and
glory Ia its neighborhood. Clear,
practical ability. massive common
sense, the noblest physical proportions,
and stern grandeur of spirit, entered
into, and were beautifully blended in his
mental and physical constitution. His
pure, unsullied christian heart was ne
yer touched by that moth of the soul, as
St. Chrysostom beautifully calls envy.
Proud, noble, generous, magnanimous
almost to Righteousness, he was the
soul of manliness, and the living,
breathing impersonation of honor and
Integrity. But this moral mail could
not protect him from the Archer's un-
erring aim. He is gone; and whilst
the heart of friendship yields slowly
and sadly to the melancholy convic-
ton, it broods with sense of almost
utter desolation over the thoughts 'sthat
come up like spectres to haunt its lone
ly musings" 1Efss
/ We yield with becoming humility to
the fiat of the great Am That / Am.
Oftimes in the dewy morn or at twi-
lights sacred, silent hour, will his
friends repair to the spot so beautifully
called by an ancient Scottish poet
"God's Acre. and bedew il with the
warm tears of friendship and love. Mr.
President, the ancient Phenicians
planted the thorny, but perennial AGA
cha around the tombs of their sainte6
dead-the ancient Romans strewed
flowers over the graves of their dead
Legislators: but let us adopt the lines
Of the poet, as equally. if not more ex.
pressive of our feeling:
I -"Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of our better days,
None knew thee but to love thee,
| None named thee but TO praise
"Tears were shed when thou vert dying,
From eyes unused to weep;
/ And long where thou are lying
Shall tears the cold turf steep
