Asgfai Tragedy.-A most singular and
shocking affair recently took place al
'Connersville, Ia. A Mr.. Joshua Gregg
auda Miss Sarah Stevens, both Of them
highly respectable persons heretofore,
agrsedso commit suiciae. 1t appears that
they had flowed, not wisely, but too well,
and we're fearful Of an exposure. Four
ounces Of laudanum were divided into two
aumblers, and each swallowed the deadly
portion. Mt. Gregg soon died. but the
woman was saved. Having been infor-
med Of the death Of her lover, she still
psrsists in her intention to make way
with herself.
