THE ICELANDERS IN ALASKA.

The Icelanders who were sent as Com
misssoners to spy out the land in Alas
ka and report on the feasibility of an Ice
landic emigration thither, have sent in
theirreport to President Grant, by whose
direction they were taken to Alaska in
u aGoyernmentship, Their visit was made
first TO Cooks Inlet, where the
mainland was carefully examined and
was found not unsuited for lcelandiC
Sc tlement, but not as suitable as Kodiak
Island, further west, with which the Com
missioners were delighted, finding it adj
mirably adapted for their purpose. Ey-
erything that is needed for lcelandic hap
piness is to be found there, and it is by
no means certain that agriculture cannot
be successfully practiced, though should
this turn out not TO be the case it will
make little difference, as agriculture Is
not the Icelander's strong point.
Two of the Commissioners remain on
the island to test the winter experience
So far az the Commissioners have YET
seen or heard, Alaska is superior to Wis
cOnsin for Icelandic settlement, and, in
fact, seems to have been created for the
express purpose of becoming the Ice
lander's Paradise. The report is full Oi
interesting information concerning that
little known and much represented Ter

A HAPPY SURPRISE.

On Thursday evening. just a. the
Wrought Iron Bridge Company were
Gbout to suspend operations for the day.
Mr.. J. B. Robinson, foreman, was Ia
ken by surprise. in the presentation
TO him of a large silver hunting case
watch ofthe finest make, which was pre-
sented by John G. Allen with the follow
ing appropriate remarks;
Mr.. ROBINSON As a slight testimonial
of the appreciation of your services as
foreman of the Bridge Shop, and to rOn-
yey to you in substantial manner the
good will and wishes of the members of
the firm, together with those Ofthe men
with whom you have been so intimately
and pleasantly associated during the past
year, allow me in their behalf to present
you with this watch, and, and may it ever
keep the time for you as honestly and
satisfactorily as you have "kept the time"
for those present. We have all felt con-
strained to Rob" you many times dur
ing our intercourse, but this is the first
time you have ever been watched" and
Twill say right here, that we all believe
you deserve it. And with it, our hopes
that our associations will be as pleasant
as they have always been in the past, and
that you may spend Merry Christmas
and many Happy New Years among us.
Mr.. Robinson said he was completely
taken by surprise, and was not prepared
to make responsive speech. However,
he accepted the substantial token grace
fully, with a few apropOs remarks and
thankful words. The present could not
have been placed in more deserving
hands, as Mr.. Robinson is a thorough
gentlemen, who has labored earnestly and
wholly in the interests Of this company.

aCuRIsrMAs GARDEN."-On wednesday

aCHRIsTMAs GARDEN" Wednesday
evening at the English Lutheran Church,
we saw the most novel construction OF It's
hind that we have ever noticed. 1t IS
called the "Chrstmas Garden" and is
nothing more or less than representa-
tion of the scenes and incidents of the
birth of Christ. The design is novel, and
il is constructed in such way that it
shows at glance the detailed particulars
, of the birth of our Savior; Mount Zion,
the shepherds and the sheep, the city OF
Jerusalem and other representations are
given in such way, that it becomes at
once matter Of important instruction to
children, as vel AZ source OF profitable
amusement, 1t is truly worth examina-
ton.
