MARRIAGE IN HIGH LITE.—On the 7th
inst. was married, by special licence, at St. Patrick's Ca-
thedral, Dublin, the Hon. ROBERT KING, M.P. for the
county of Roscommon, and eldest son of the Viscount
LORTON, to the lovely and accomplished Miss ANNE
BOOTH GORX, only sister of Sir ROBERT BOOTH GORE,
Bart., of Lissadell, county of Sligo.
FATAL TRICK OF A CONJUROR.—A dread-
ful accident occurred at Arnstadt on the 10th September.
On that day LINSKY, the celebrated legerdemain per-
former, gave, in the presence of the family of Prince
SCHWA RTZBURGII-SONDERSHAUSER, a grand exhibition,
in which he wished to distinguish himself by an extraor-
dinary display of his art. Six soldiers from the garrison
were introduced to fire with ball cartridges at Madame
LINSKY, the young wife of the conjuror. They were,
however, instructed in biting the cartridge to bite off the
ball and keep it in the mouth, as they had been shown
how to do ou a rehearsal. Madame LINSKY, who bail
recently lost a child, and, besides, was pregnant, was
for a long time unwilling to perform the part allotted
to her in this trick ; but, by the persuasion of her
husband, she was induced to consent. The sol-
diers, who were drawn up before the company,
took aim at Madame LINSKY and fired. For a moment
after the firing she remained standing upright, but the next
moment she sunk down, saying, •` Dear husband, I am
shot." One of the musket-balls, which had not been bit-
ten off, passed quite through her abdomen. The unfortu-
nate woman never spoke another word, and died on the
second day after she received the wound. Many of the
spectators fainted, and the horror of the scene has given a
shock to the reason of LiNsx v. It Was indeed a spectacle
which might well have unmanned the most firm. It is to
be hoped that this event will serve as a warning to all con-
jurors, as will as tile spectators of their tricks, who usually
show too inconsiderate a confidence in the art of the per-
former, not only with respect to cases of risk of life, but to
other practices of a dangerous nature. —Austrian Observer.
