The following remarkable suicide took place
a short time ugo at Nyon :—A man named Clejat, who had
lived for some time separated from his wife, entered the
lodging of the latter, and fired a pistol at her, the b4ll 5.4
which missed his intended victim, and merely broke the
candlestick which she had in her hand. He took from his
pocket a large bottle of gunpowder, upon the mouth of
which was a piece of German tinder (amadon), and have
ing set light to the tinder, and supposing that the explosion
of the gunpowder would destroy his wife, he placed the
pistol against his own heart, fired, and instantly ceased to
exist. The wife, however, escaped ; for the blood rush-
ing out from the wound of the intended murderer, ex-
tinguished the light and prevented it from comumuicating
with the gunpowder.—Journal des Voyageurs.
A chimney-sweeper of this town, named
Morris, having been engaged to sweep the aimmy of
house in Fox-street, repaired thither, accompanied by Ntl-
muel Lewis, one of his climbing boys, on 'ruemill morning
list, and, the usual arrangement,' being made, the letter
was sent up one of the back-rocm flues. Some time after
the boy had gone up, Morris observed that smoke was
coming dowu the aperture, and, fearing danger, instantly
called to the little fellow to make speed and return. Ile '
replied that he would ; and Morris fancying tha;:, from sonic
connecting tlue, the vapour might hare got into the stack
in which the boy watt from the one in front, lost no time
in raking out the fire, which had been kindled ip the grisqo
in the front room. The poor child, however, did net make
his appearance, and Mot ria ran oft' to fetch two others, his
apprentices. One of them wits promptly despatched up the
chimney into which Lewis had gone, but, to the sin prise
of all present, came down again without any tidings of
him. The chimney in front was next tried, but with the
like success, end all parties were at fault. At last it was
suggested that a trial should be made of a chimney in the
adjoining warehouse. The suggestion was adopted, the
fire in the warehouse extinguished, a boy leas sent up, and
returned, sure enough, with an account of having finned
poor Lewis; but the flue in which be had discoveitil Lint •
was so confined, that lie could not be brought down. The
measures necessary fey the extricating the boy were promptly
resorted to, and, by the reintaval of part of the stone-work
at the back of the premises, the little fellow was- taken oat,
but we lament to say, quite dead. To account tie• the
singular circumatant•ea under which this poor child met
his death, it must he explained that, although the ware-
house in question is at the extremity of the building in
which the accideut happened, and the chimneys engaged
to be swept are at the othet-, the fine of the former takes •
a direction all along the back of thu house, and at last joins
the chimney into which the boy had proceeded. It is,
therefore, evident that the deceased, on his return, unfor-
tunately missed his way, and crept into the flue of the

warehouse, where I.e was, no doubt, smothered, in his vain
endeavours to force a passage. The unfortunate boy was
between eight and nine years of age, and had been ap-
prenticed to from the Lancaster workhouse? 4ip
inquest was held of the body the salve day, before J.
Troughtbn, Esq., and a verdict of accidental death re-
eordcd.—Prestoil Pilot.
