From a Young Dakota Town.

Mr.. Henry Blakely of Buffalo Gap, OAK,
was at the Merchants yesterday, after an
absence from ST. Paul of some years. He is
the son of Mr.. Russell Blakely of this city,
and is the manager of the Northwestern
Forwarding and Transportation company
with headquarters at Buffalo Gap. This
is thriving town of about 1000 inhab-
ltantS and contains about 800 buildings,
which have been erected during the past
few weeks. The town is hustling. boom
ing town with lots of business, and all of
its inhabitants are well fixed financially.
Town lots command all the way from 5000
to 81, 700. The town is the present ter
mination of the Northwestern railways ex-
tension to the Black Hills, and is located
fifty miles from Rapid City. Mr.. Blakely
says there is not much attention paid to
politics, but every one in those parts is
opposed to the admission of Dakota as one
state, and are unity for division, and pre-
fer to remain as territory, separate from
the northern half, unless they can get in
as separate state.

EeStiYitY aICoulO,

An interesting Christmas entertainment
was given in the Lake Como schoolhouse
Christmas night. The attendance was
large and tree heavily laden with appro-
pirate gifts stood in the center of the room.
The exercises consisted of recitations, decla-
nations and character dialogues, which
were very entertaining. There was vocal
and instrumental music, and the evening
was one of true Christmas festivity. County
Superintendent Blake was present and a
vote of thanks was rendered him for the
active part he took in the affair.
The Sunday school children of Unity
church were treated to an old-fashioned
Christmas festival last evening. The lee
ture room was filled with large audience
of happy juveniles and their parents, and
every one of them received present from
off the large Christmas tree, and happy
and pleasant evening was enjoyed.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS.
sunday School Children Made Han
Ply by Many Gifts.


The Sunday school of St. Johns Episco-
pal church held its celebration in the parish
school house last evening. The beautiful
decorations which had been arranged for
the Christmas service were intact, and a
richly-laden Christmas tree gave both
splendor and enthusiasm to the occasion.
Aside from the tree the exercises consisted
mainly of beautiful carol service,
sung by the school. The church
and school had earl decided
that it would not be able to afford
Christmas tree this year and this coming to
the knowledge of a Mr.. Grosbeck of New
York, an entire stranger to the church and
place, he telegraphed an order to the pastor
to go OH with the tree and draw on him for
500. The matter was kept a secret and
the scholars had no expectation of any
thing besides the carol service until their
complete surprise in the evening. A three
cheers was one of the many expressions of
appreciation and gratitude by which the

WELCOME AND FAREWELL.

NtSt> HEN the New Year came, we said,
Aft Half with hope and half with dread
4H "Welcome. child. new born to be
Last of Times great family.
All thy brethren bent and gray,
hred and worn, have passed away
TO the place where the dead years 60
place which mortals can not know.
Thou art fairest of them all,
Iyory-limbed and strong and tall.
Gold hair blown back, and deep oyes
Full of happy prOph ecies;
Rose-bloom on thy youthf ul cheek.
Welcome child" And all the while
The sweet New Year did not speak.
Though we thought we saw him smile
when the Old Year went, we said,
Looking at his grim gray head,
At the shoulders bu rden-bowed,
And the sad eyes dark with cloud:
= Was he ever young and fairI
Did we praise his sunny hair
And glad eyes, with promise lit?
We can scarce rem ember it.
Treacherously he smiled, nor spoke
Hiding meath his rainbow cloak
Store of grievouS things to strcw
On the way that W must go:
Vain to chide him; old and weak
He Is dying: let him die"
And the Old Year did not speak;
But we thought we heard him sigh.
