Tiie little town of Otis, not far from Michigan City, Ind., was the scene of a horrible tragedy on the last night of the old year. A wealthy German family, James Augustine, wife, two grown sons, and some younger children, lived upon their farm, two mi!es froyi Otis, a nephew, Henry Augustine, making his hone with them when in the neighbor­ hood. On the day in question Heurv returned to the farm from a visit to Chicago. Stipper was prepared for him and oaten. Afterward, Henry produced a bottle of whisky, which, having a bitter tuste, was uot druuk. Candy given the cbildrou wa* also bitter, and was rejected. At bed-time Henry went to bed up stairs with James Agns- tine, Jr. After going to bed Henry told James that he would have to got up in tho night, and be need not be dis­ turbed by him. About 11 o'clock Mr. Augustine awoke and saw Henry standing at the foot of his bed, pointing a revolver at him, Mr. Augus­ tine drew the clothes around him andmo\<d around in tho Ited to avoid beiug shot. Henry at diice fired at him, and then at Mrs. Augus­ tine, and their Jumped out of tho room and J "'liter him.

England is her only equal in linancial resources aud Germany in lighting force ; and the situation of the country is such that she can have no apprehension of interfer­ ence with her domestic affairs by any power or combination of powers. The following tobies show the distribution of population by Bivtious, and the relative increase in each division of the country in the last ten years. The States formerly known ae tho Mid­ dle States and Ne * England are bunched to­ gether. They make a group of nine Eastern States. It will be observed that the rato of growth in Vermont--one-half of 1 per cent.-- has been the lowest of any State in the Union, and that of Maine the third lowest, Nevada coming between.

The rate of growth in the Statoj and most of the Territoi ic-s west of the Mississippi has been very rapid. The other commuuitios in what was formerly known as the Northwest have had a slower, but still healthy, growth. Montana shows a positive loss of population, as does also Arizona, which is included with the Pacific States.
