STRANGE AFFAIR.

A tradesman named Ungerer, of 48, Rue de la
Villette, at Belleville, appeared a few days ago be-
fore the commissary of police of the district,
and made a statement to this effect :—ln the
night he was awakened by a noise, and got
up to see what occasioned it. On entering
the court-yard he saw a man stooping down at
the opening to the cellar, and iu the act of
trying to light a inciter match ; this man,
who evidently took him for another per-
son, said, "I have just thrown in two, but they
have gone out !" lingerer asked what he was
doing, and the man, after a moment's hesitation,
rushed on him, and, pulling up
his nightshirt,
thrust it into his mouth with the fingers of one
hand, at the same time pressing him tightly by the
throat with the other hand ; this caused lingerer to
fall, but ho bit the man's fingers with all his force
until he cut through the flesh. The man then let
jumped over the wall into the
after which the
street,ohis chroylidn'ganodut, "I have done the job, but
have been bitten by a man who is there 1" Another

the cellar was a ball of resin which had been
lighted, but which fortunately had not burned.
The cellar was filled with combustible materials.
In the court was found a large knife which had been
sharpened on both sides so as to make it serve as a
poignard, and it was remarked that the incendia-
ries had taken the precaution of removing the
handle of the pump, and of fastening the door of
the court-yard with wire, so as to prevent egress.
The police have commenced an investigation into
this strange affair.
