jected marriage between a Mr. Mayer Reinhold, corn

merchant at ,blentz, and a young girl named Fanny Ca..
hen, daughter of a trade small at Sierck. In support of her
opposition she asserted that a young child who accompa-
nied her was the fruit of the intimate relations she had
long held with Reinhold. The Mayor said that that cir-
cumstance was not sufficient to warrant him in refusing
to celebrate the marriage. The young woman then went
to the house of the Cahens, and told the mother and
daughter that she had been seduced by R. inhold, and
cruelly abandoned. The mother showed much sym-
pathy towards her, but the young lady declared that
she would persist in marrying Reinhold. " Even if he
was affianced to you," said she, " and even if he be the
father of your child, it matters net, fer in France a
young girl has no objection to marry a man who
has had an illegitimate child:" "In Germany,"
returned the other, "it is difflent, for tt ere
I have already succeeded in preveeting his
marriage on two or three occasions." On finding that
the greatest danger." " What danger:'' asked
this remark produced no effect, she added, "Leave to
this child his father, I beg of you—if' not,
you will
incur
the other, but the visitor only replied by warning
the young girl to reflect on what she had said.
The next day Mayer Reinredd received a letter in
these words-- When you receive this lett.. r, Mayer, you
will again be my afF,.anccd, and your Calico will be mar-
rie.i Nitta h. aver'!" On the same day she paid a second
visit to the Cahens, and prayed and supplicated that the
marriage with Mayer Reinhold might be broken off.
But on a peremptory refusal being given she with-
drew. A iew hours laser, however, she returned to
the house, and on being told that the young girl had
eone to a draper's ship in the town, she hurried
there, and, rushing into the shop, cried, " Will you
leave me, Meyer—yes or no?" Mademoiselle Cahen
cried, "No I ' Whereupon She drew a pistol from ber
bosom, and fired at her rival. Luckily the contents
did not touch her, and on seeieg this, the woman rushed
upon the young girl, seized her by the throat like a
fury, and attempted to strangle her. She was, how-
ever, separated from her victim. She then calmly
proceeded to the mayor's house, and constituted herself
prisoner. The mayor went to seek the gendarmes, leav-
ing her alone. She mght then have escap-d, but on a
suegestion to that effect being made to her, she rejected
it disdain nay, anti subsequently wrote to her brother,
"to have escaped would have been disgraceful." Being
brought to trial at the last ifss:zes of the department of
Moselle, the facts here stated were proved in evidence.
As, however, the ill•treatment the poor woman had re-
ceived from Mayer Reinhold excited universal sympathy
in her behalf, the jury gladly seized hold of the fact that
no ball had been discpvered in the shop, to assume that
the pistol was not loaded, though the accused herself
had at one time asserted the contrary; accordingly they
returned a verdict of acquiital, to the intense satisfac-
tion of an immense multitude assembled in the Court
and its vicinity.
