HAPPY NEW YEAR,

To our many patrons-one and oil
we this week send u greeting Of
"Happy New Year." The commence
,nent of a new year is universally the
time taken by intelligent humanity
10 view life prospectively and retro
spectively. During the past year we
have made many happy a%cquaintan-
ces among the denizens of Andrew
county, made some friends and prob.
ably a few enemies. Our ardent
wish is that the year 1873 may add
materially to the list of friends to
the REPUBLICAN, while its enemies
NAV be confined to the very limited
number VIC have i'm our vicinity whose
friendship is not worth having.
During our connection with the
REPUBLICAN the past year, it has
been our earnest and constant en-
dcavor to serve the interests of the
whole people ohthe comfy faithfully
and honestly. FeY this is the true

ATrickY Atmosphere.

Much has been written abont the
frauds that Colorado's clear atmosphere
plays upon strangers, ard the decisions
into which it leads them. The story
of a man who started from Den
yer hotel to walk to the mountains,
some fifteen miles distant, before break
fast. has doubtless been repeated by
every correspondent who has written
from the Territory. But there is q
better one OF an older date. Before the
DAYS CT railroads. the stages used to
stop at Churches Tavern" about
eight miles north of Denver and ten
northwest of Golden. One day there
left the stage at this tavern. two pas
sengers bound for the latter city, the
one an Old settler, the other a new
conner. The latter enquired where
Golden was, and after the mountain
peaks Immediately oyerhanging that
little city had been pointed out to him
asked how far off it was. When the an
swer "Ten miles" came he bestowed up
on his informant o look which plainly
told that he lamented his deranged
Judgment and demented condition gen.
orally; and then Immediately started
off at the pace a man naturally takes
when he has only about a mile to walk
and is in hurry to reach his destina-
ton. The other Golden bound traveller
followed at a slower and more judicious
pace, and, at the end ofthe fourth mile,
came upon his impatient tellow-travel-
er seated on q stone, taking rest. The
latter made no comment upon the in
formation that he had six more miles
to walk, but meekly and sorrowiully
resumed his way at the slower pace OF
the experienced Colorado pedestrian.
Soon the two came to ditch about
five feet wide. The old settler Jumped
across, and, on turning around, and
seeing his companion, with boots Oh
and trousers rolled up, carefully wadlng
through, naturally inquired why he
didn't Jump over?' The quick reply
came, in no dulcet tones, How did ]
know the thing wasn't forty fee

joyful Surprise.

The Missouri Republican, thus relates
g remarkable case OF preservation from
destruction. A Mrs. King had a sur
prise at Sbawneetown the other day.
It was an accident that Mrs. King hap
pened to be at Shawneetown. She did
not intend to 90 there, but the steam
boat Jennie Howel, on which she was
travelling, struck snag and sunk in the
Ohio river. Some OF the passengers
were drowned, aud among them some
children. Mrs. King had child
on board whom she mourned as lost,
and was taken to Shawneetown with
out her babe. The Jennie Howell sunk
in deep water, and the next morning
men went to the vessel to recover the
bodies of the lost. Soon after daylight
a mattress was discovered floating in
the cabin, which was filled with water
nearly 10 the ceiling. Upon examina-
ton a child, little boy, was discovered
on the mattress sleeping as peacefully
as if nothing unusual had happened.
His bed was not very dry, for 1t had
sunk good deal from soaking, but still
sustained its living freight. In due time
the child was sent to Shawneetown
where the other passengers had been
landed the evening before. Its coming
made an excitement among the wrecked
travellers, for more than one mother
had lost children by the disaster. 1t
was a touching scene when Mrs King
recognized the child as her boy whom
she had mourned az lost for nearly
twentyrfour hours. The preservation
If Moses in the bullrushes was not so
miraculous az the safety OF Mrs. Kings
bow. He had been tossing about on
the waste of waters in the cabin all
night, aud was brought to his mother
alive in the hour OF her deepest woe.
