incredible story:
A commercial traveller. whose business
frequently called him from Orleans TO Pars
is, Nj. Edmund D.. was accustomed
10 90 TO a hotel with the landlord OF
which he was acquaintess. He arrived
few DAYS ago at the hotel where he was
in the habit Of staying. On Thursday
evening after supper, he invited the peo-
ple of the hotel to go tc his chamber to
sak. coffee, aud he promised 10 tell them
= tale full of dramatic incident. On en-
,ering the room his guests saw on the
bed. near which lie seated himself, pair
of pistols "My story" said he, "has a
sad denoucwemt, and require the pistols
to make it clearly understood" A. he
had always been accustomed, i'll telling
his .ales, to indulge in expressive panto
;nine,. and to take up anything which lay
sandy oahc s4asea 10 add TO- the effect. no
surprise vas ieh at si,s having prepared
pistols. He began by narrating the loves
of young girl and young man. They
had both. he said. promised, under the
most solemn oa,hs. invio;able fidelity
The young man, whose profession obliged
hirp:,o travel. once.made a long absence.
While he was away, he received legacy,
and on his return. hastened to place It at
her feet But ON presenting himself be-
fore her, he learned that, in compliance
with The wishes Of her family, she had
just married a wealthy merchant The
yonag man thereupon took q terrible res
olu,ion. "Ile purchased pair Of pistols
like these" he continued. taking one in
each hand, ":hen he assembled his friends
in the chamber, and after some conversa-
ton placed one under his chin, in this
way as ! do. saying in joke, that il
would he a pleasure 10 blow out his
brains And at the same momens he
pulled the trigger" Here the man dis
charged the pistol. and his head was
shattered to pieces. Pieces Of the bone
and portions Of the BRAIN fell Oh the hor-
iied spectators. The unfortunate man
told his own story.
