STRANGE AFFAIR.

A tradesman named lingerer, 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 lie saw a man stooping down at
the opening to the cellar, and in the act of
trying to light a 'miter match ; this man,
who evidently took bim 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 night shirt,
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 he bit the man's fingers with all his force
until Ire•tut through the flesh. The man then let
go his hold, and jumped over the will into the
street, crying out, "I have done the job, but
have been bitten by a man who is there I" Another
man then climbed on to the wall, and fired a
pistol at Ungertr, but missed him, atter which the
two men took to flight. The report of the pistol
awakened all the people in the house, and, getting
