the motion and sobool in whish you base
taught for three years, take this op•
portanity of expressing our regret that
In the Providence of God we are soon to
part as teaoher and pupils. Ws mingle
with our regreb the high chasm with
wbioh you have been bald by as and the
whole Section on amount of the earnest
and untiring endeavor with .wbioh you
have labored for our intelleobna, moral
and spiritoal.welfare, We predict, with
mnob oonfideuoe, a bright future for you.
Feud recollections of thoughtful prompt.
nsea and faithfulness {yid, we trust, ever
inspire tie to noble and lofty ideas of life.
We have learned under your able tuition
that there is no royal road to learning ;'
but that the way to sitcom is by the way
of earnest efforts; and that. the way to
viobory is by the way of oor:fliob, As a .
token of your valuable services ae oar
beloved teaoher, please accept this silver
sugar rot and lemonade set, not for their
intrineio value bat for the motive that
prompts the gift and as the yeare come
and go may yam enjoy comforts each as
these have given yah. In meditation of
the three years' faithful toil you spent in
our behalf. We wish you a Merry Ohriob-
mme and a Happy New Year, a prosperous
fabure and the "Well _dons good and
faithful one" in the life to come. Signed

WAR IN THE EAST.
Port Arthur bas surrendered and the
Japanese have granted honorableterms
to a valiant. foe. Officers and oiviliane in
the fortress of Port Arthur are to be re.
leased, the offieere ou parole, and to
mare)] out wearing their side arms, .this
oonoeseion eaving..Boossien "honor. But
the rank and file of the heroin garrison,
over twenty thousand in number, four•
teen thoneand of whom ate siok or
wounded,in the hospital°, are to remain
prisoners of war. Japan will not allow
these men to go book to Russia to ba
drafted into other regiments and again
sent to the front against the so'diere of
the Mikado, bet their fate, that of
prisoners of war, they will probably oon.
eider preferable to a continuance of the
eemi-ebarvationand sufferings they have
lately been compelled to endure. Japan
is now in possession of Port Arthur, if
the articles of capitulation have been
carried out, and the Russian troops will
marsh out Wednesday, those of- them
that are able to march. An item of
!omen interest' among all the despatches
received of blood and slaughter is that
the Russian and Japanese "troops area
fraternizing."
It is evident tbst the Russians have
left but little behind them save the sur-
rendered fortress that will be of value to -
the victors. The buildings of tbs town
are described as a oomplete wreck,
and the harbor entrance has been blocked
by the sunken ships. It sons n mere
handful of men who surrendered, and
the Japanese have won a desert strewn
with debris.
General Stoeesel's daepatoboa to the
Medea general staff tell of the ravages
of Boum amongthe garrison,. whioh
increased enormously the luta of. the
disabled ; of the increasing onsanity liths,
and finally, of the exhaustion of the am.
munition supply. Re says that at the
end of the siege be bad only 10,000 men
tinder arms, and there were 14,000 in the
hospitals,

the gnsstion agitating the minds of
European diplomats in of the new
situation created by the fall of Port
A• It i5 nob bo be belfov5d that
Raeoiarthurherself would mare any advanros
towards a cessation of hostilities, suoh a
move would be too mortifying to icor
pride, and the despatches raomved from
the various Europeen centred them to
agree that the time Is not ripe for Inter-
vention from England, France or the
United States, Japan herself might be
in it position to matte an offet to her fee,
but St. Petersburg despatches say that,
with the present situation' 10 the fnteri'1
of Russia, it is Impossible ter. the Geyern•
mens of that 000010, to bow to teem t,
50512 moderate ones, tendered by Japan,
as a conqueror. The British 'Forel it
Office, it is reported, has .bated that it
was reoenbiy officially informed that
it was recently officially informed that
Rdssia would not consider any prepoesle
for pease at present.
If the straggle is then to be continued,
the gaeotion thine, will it be eon$ned to
the present belligerents 9 In this eon -
notion a remark made by Major-General '
Sir Alfred Turner, K. O. B., ie worth 8.
Weathering, He gives it at his opinion
that atheist, in faced smoh a blew to Iter
