Tragedies re ported thus far are: At Newport, Tenn., to-day, Rob ert Knewles, a special policeman, tried to arrest William Allen for drunkenness. A scuffle ensued, Allen fell on top, and Knowles pulled a pistol, shooting Allen through and through . Allen lived two hours. A Happy New year. Said the child to the youthful year, "What hast thou in store for ine? 0 giver of beautiful gift, what cheer, What joy doet thou bring with thee. A great many of us make the mistake of thinking that happiness depends on what the New Year will bring to us. But the right kind of happiness is just the other way round, and depends entirely on what we bring to the New Year. People who are really happy are those who make up their minds to take cheerfully everything as it comes, and make the best of it: and to take the people who come, too, and make the best of them.
