The Gaeta Naradowa of Lemberg relates that
the Countess Czapska, after the condemnation of her hus-
band to hard labour, had proceeded to St. Petersburg to
solicit his pardon. But, being unsuccessful in her applica-
tion, she fell into a state of dejection, and returned to
Wilna, borne down with grief and in a declining state of
health. She dragged on a melancholy existence for some
time, but at length resolved to put an end to her life.
With that object she seated herself Man arm chair, having
first surrounded it with a large heap of paper, and then
set light to the mass. The smoke attracted the attention
of her servants, who found her with a smile on her lips
and firmly resolved to die. She was extricated from the
funeral pile she had prepared, but was so badly burnt that
she expired two days after in fearful sufferings, leaving
five children.
