TragicaI AGair-8Iysterious case Of Love and
suicide.
From the Boston Traveller.
Two Young men, Henry and Albert Hayden,
were on hunting excursion, on Friday the lthr
in piece of woods known as The Common" IN
Braintree, on the edge Of Quincy. One OF them
stopped down to look into bush, where rabbit
had taken refuge. Instead OF rabbit however,
he saw the face of dead man. He called 10 his
companion, and the discovery was soon made,
that there were two dead bodies, lying side by
side From appearances the bodies had lain
there for number of weeks, as the ice and snow
covered them thickly, and the bodies themselves
were frozen stiff. The discoveries at hrst sup
posed that the persons might have come 10 their
death by being frozen and without further in
vestigation started for Coroner Bass, OF Quincy.
The Coroner upon reaching the spot, soon ascer-
tame that their deaths was the result OF wounds
by pistol. The bodies were, one OF them, that
OF rather a tall person, the other being much
shorter The short person laid TO the right of tho
taller one. BY the side of the latter aud close 10,
if net grasped in his right hand, was discharged
pistol There was also upon the ground powder
flask, quantity OF percussion caps, aud some
shot in a paper. A hat belonging 20 the taller OF
the two, and cap of the shorter one, laid upon
the ground by the side of the bodies
From appearances 1t seemed probable that the
shorter one died of q wound from a pistol ball,
which entered the head ast over the left ear.
There was a distortion of the body apparent,
which indicated that the person had died in agony.

peared TO have been inflicted by the hands of the
other who had afterwards reloaded his pistol
and discharged it into his own mouth. He appar-
emily fell back, and from the position OF his body,
died without a struggle.
The place where the bodies were found was
near the main road and directly over an old track
not now used. AS there are reasons TO suppose
that the bodies have been there since the second
week in November last, il is wonderful that they
were not discovered before.
The bodies taken by Coroner Bass 20
Quincy, and, in order to thaw them sufficiently
TO investigate the cause OF death, were placed in
a running brook, where they remained all night
and until nine o'clock this morning.
This morning the bodies were taken 70 the
Town Hall, followed by a crowd Of the people Of
Quincy, anxious to get sight of them, and to
learn the cause Of the sad event. A jury having
been empanneled, they proceeded to get of the
clothing of the deceased, which was done with
great labor, by cutting and saving, so stitfy
were they frozen The finger ends and nose OF
the taller person were partially gone; but the
body of the other was comparatively little affect
ed by decay. A little money and few other
articles were found upon them but nothing when
revealed their names or the history OF their mys-
FERROUS death. Ii was discovered that the shorter
and younger person was a female though dressed
In man s clothes.

visiting Green while he was at the work. bench,
and reading to him. They always appeared
cheerful and happy, though the elder one day re-
marked that he was formerly an engineer on the
Mississippi, and had seen trouble, by the captain
