house in Franklin ST., Linn, Mass, was
the scene of an lceident on the l4th
which came near destroying a number
of lives. A quantity Of wood which
had been deposited in an attic for the
winters use, proved too heavy for the
timber, and just as the largest part Of
the classes were let out TO recess, the
whole mass, floor fastening and wood,
came tumbhng down with terrific
crash, burying some forty children
with their teacher, Mr.. Batchelder, in
the ruins. Many of the children were
very much hurt, and among those most
severely injured are son OF MIR. Eph-
rain Noyes,a son of Mr.. w. Atwell,&
daughters of Mr.. Asa Haskell. Noy-
es, it is feared, will be crippled for
life, L he can possibly survive.

A Capitol Story:

The Captain of ship had laid in a
basket of claret fcr his own table. Al.
ter being some time at sea, as he was
overhaulding his cabin stores, he tho't
more bottleswere missing than he could
remember Of having used. While
rejecting upon the subject, the
idea occurred to him that probably the
cabin boy was the cause of the defl-
cheney. To ascertain the truth c. his
suspicion, he concealed himself in a
state room. and waited until the time
for preparing dinner. The boy soon
came in, and having arranged the table,
went to the basket, took out bottle
and said. "Jean Won DorsteD, born IN
Rotterdam, intends marriage with Mis-:
Rosina Claret, born in Burgundy -
Notice is hereby given for the first
second and third times; if none forbid
the bans, the ceremony will immediate
ly take place." The roguish fellow
thereupon placed the bottle to his
mouth, drained it, and cast it out OF the
window. The captain said nothing,
but after dinner went upon deck, pro-
vided himself with a good ropes end,
and called the boy to him.; JEAN" said
he, I've got something interesting to
tell: Pm agoing to have you MARI
ed" 49," calculated he, casting
an anxious glance at the ropes end,
shave me married, captain" Yes
now listen and see that it is done ac-
cording to law" The captain eleva-
ted his voice so as TO be heard all over
the ship, and cried, "Know all men
that Jean Won Dorsten, born in Rot
terdam, intends marriage with Miss
Barbara Ropes, born in Russia. No
tice for the first, second IL third times;
and if no man appears to forbid the
bans, the ceremony will Immediately
take place." Hereupon the jolly sail.
or raised his arm to perform this inter-
esting ceremony, but before il descend
ed, Jean proclaimed in loud voice,
al forbid the bans" "What, you ras-
cal" said the captain" did you not
drink my clareti" ayes; but if you
know il you also know that | did it all
according TO law. lfyou had forbid
den the bans as ! do now, should not
have touched it," The captain could
not repress hearty laugh. At length
he answered, "This time I'll let you
90, but remember, if you ever cast
your eyes on Miss Clarct again, you
shall be welded to Miss Ropes in such
n style that you'll not forget the ccre-
mony till your dying day."-Lynn

y Womaa killed 6y her Husband,


at her oa0n request.-The following
extraordinary case occurred short
time since in Wurtemburg; we find it
related in foreign journal:
Adam Gayring, a man sixty-four
years of age, of honest and upright
dealings, loved and respected by all
who knew him, presented himself on
the 9Th ult., before the authorities at
Heidenheim, and stated calmly that
he had Just killed his wife. His de-
c!aration was Immediately taken, as
follows: "My wife," he said, Gas ev-
cry one knows, has been suffering for a
long time from illness, and at times
the pains she had to endure were such
as to effect her reason; she latterly
gave up all hopes of recovery. and con-
tinually repeated that not only life was
dread to her. but that she feared that
| if | died before her, she would be re-
duced to misery. This morning, af-
ter we had read together the 4th chap
ter Of the book OF Judges, they were
devout people and read the Bible ev-
cry day. she requested me to drive a
mai! into her temple, as Jael did Sisera,
as such death seemed short and easy,
and would put an end to her sufferines;
she said she forgave me beforehand for
the act, of which she absolyed me be-
fore God and man. A pail she said
would not cause great hemorihage,
and would make but slight wound =
"As soon as | am dead,o she added,
'you can close the wound. put on a
clean cap, and nobody will know any
thing about it," After long resistance,
continued Gayring, 81 gave way to the
wishes Of my wife. took nail and
begun to drive it into her left temple
with hammer; but the nail was too
weak, and the point, instead of enter
ing. fiattened itself en- the bone. !
then took small drill, but was equal
ly unsuccessful. My wife grew impa-
tent, and requested me TO kill her at
once with the hammer. which | ac-
cordingly did, by Knocking in the
skull. The body Of my wife is at my
house, where you can examine it at your
leisure"
The magistrate Immediately pro-
ceeded to the house with a medical
man, and Gayring under a strong
guard. They found the body dressed,
upon the bed. On the left temple
there were two wounds, and the right
side of the skull was knocked in as low
as the temple. Beside the bed was
table, on which lay Bible, the nail.
drill and hammer alluded TO. On the
ground was basin of water, 10 which
the murderer, according to his own de.
claration, washed his hands before pre-
senting himself to the authorities.
Gayrng is now in prison he is per-
fectly calm, and convinced he acted
well in fulfilling the wishes OF bis wife,
by putting an end to her sufferings.-
Some Wurtemburg papers state that
the inhabitants fthe village o. Gus
senstadt, where the murder was COM
mitted, left their work as soon as they
heard of the murder and spent the day
in church fasting and praying for the
soul OF the departed.
