ExrRAoRDINARY SuIcIpE.-The body of a
man was. on Saturday, found on the banks of
the Seine at Rouen.--In one ofhis pockets was
found paper on which the following lines
were written in trembling hand.-
"She is sixteen. | am almost thrice her age.
1t Is long since saw her for first time; she
then smiled upon me with the innocence OF
childhood, and her sweet little hands played
with my hair.
"She is sixteen this day--and I am more
than forty-her hands are more timd. and her
angel eyes are abashed when look upon her.
Whyi
81 would almost wager this child Of sixteen
loves me; for have seen her weep, have seen
the tears in her eyes when any danger has
threatened me.
Sand I!-But am more than forty-and she
is scarcely sixteen--yesterday she was not so.
sis she not too young for me, or am ! NOT
too old for herr
SIT is better to terminate this business.
81 destroy myself, moi because ! am more
than forty, but because she is not more than
sixteen" The body has not been recognized.

ed John Robbins, led to the alter in ST Luke's
church, on Sunday last, avery pretty girl, aged
only nineteen, the daughter ola respectable far
mer IN that borough. While passing through
the aisle of the church, the entire head dress Of
the bride, including arig, was pulled from heI
head. which was left bare as the back OF her hand
In consequence of this unlueky exposure, the
happy bridegroom desired further time to con.
sider whether he would accept the bareheaded
sinister as partner for life; and the parties
left the church. The mischevous trick was eff
lected by former lover ofMiss Bailly. [Bristo
