The house No. lG Rue des Canettes, in Paris,
was on the morning of the Goth of March, the
theatre of terrific crime. A Mr.. Vanacker,
residing at No. 81 RVe ST. Denis, had, for some
three years past, kept up an intimate conNexioa
with a woman named DessUs, who kept d
thread and needle store at the first named
house. Vanscker was younger, by several
years, than the woman his affection for her
had also much decreased, and he had formed q
new acquaintance, who had made him forget
the vows which united him to the other The
woman Dessus had sought to gain back his af-
fections, but being constantly repulsed, she de-
termined to be avenged. Sinister projects
haunted her mind; often was she heard utter
ing threats against her former lover and his
new mistress, whilst, in moments of abstraction,
she seemed 10 dwell with delight upon the re-
miniscence of her past happiness Late on the
evening of the 10Th, Vanacker was seen to en-
ter the domicile of the woman, who returned
home with hin, having probably met him in
the street, and persuaded him to remain with
her. The very best understanding appeared to
exist between them; they spoke kindly to each
other, and were heard in conversation long
after midnight. What was said during that
conversation? Did Vanacker again manifest
an intention to leave her? The occurrences
of that night will probably forever remain 6
mystery Towards six o'clock in the morning
the woman Dessus left her room, went into the
street, and returned few minutes afterwards
bringing with her bottle of liquor, which she
had purchased at public house near by. The
liquor was to impart to her the courage neces
sary for the fearful undertaking which she
contemplated. At seven o'clock she came
down stairs again, and rushed into the street
A man followed her; he was bleeding from 6
ghastly wound in the throat, and he dragged
himself as far as the doorstep, when he fell
dead to the ground, This man, who had just
neighbors, horror struck with the sight, sough
to render him aid, but it was too late. 1t il
