So with ua quiet little lews ef Tolkiag Reck, it was destined to be tho eeeneel a terrible tragedy. Ae the wore aad saagaUied rumor reached our ear I* seema that ea Christmas night s tree graced the celebration of this great day, aad, as too Often is tbe uafortueate eeeurreaoe oa auoh occasions, e few cou samptive feesils of Adam’s-unweary de scendants pined ter an exhilarating tonic fer their chroaic ailment, and became an uncenseioua victim te the capers of the -‘taegiefeot. ' The exercise passed •A. the aaeeaibled concourse had dispers ed aad all the happy villagers were wrapped ia the close embrace of Mor pheus. It seems that tbe veepet shades had not doted ia upon a certain house hold with a full roll of the accustomed inmates, hut thedevoted family patient ly awaited the oamiag of this affection ate tardy.

It eo happened that he encounter ed an unknowned party sear a promi nent farmer ia the yaiiey at a little branch, and the gauutlet so defiantly thrown at him aroused the indignation ef this unkuowa party and hit haughty nature repelled the taunt with a blow. Dows came the offender, and blow after blew ensued which this man saw would soen result in immedinte death, and he applied the convincing apology of a large, keen knife to bis too-well equip ped antagonist. A tereible wrangle en sued, and the uakuown party cried, ••Hold, enough!” and released himself from tbe deathly embrace or els'murder er. Alter being mortally carved by bit aae ailant be sought refuge in the swamp to await tbe dawn wbicb tbe untimely encounter bad eo rapidly hasteued.

Tbe village doctor was sumuioued and found the man bruisad, beaten and ter.iblv mangled by tbe man whom be bad killed. When daylight arrived the scene of tbe affray was visited, 11 tare were sigus ol the night’s rencounter, blood in the road and a bloody knife whs found in bis pocket when he wee taken home.
