A mysterious suicide of two persons has just
taken place at St. Quentin. A compositor, accom•
paniei by a young woman who passed as his wife, had for
a short time occupied a furnished lodging in that town,
where the man obtained employment. Three days
back, neither of them having tip/eared up to a late hour
in the day, the door was broken open, when they
were found to have poisoned themselves. An inquest was
held, and the papers found on the male deceased showed
him to be a native of Ypres, in Belgium, and named De
Man. The only particulars obtained of the female was
that she was the niece of the man, and had left her family
to follow her uncle, to whom she was much attached, The
motives for the suicide are unknown,
