BY her dress taking fire from the stove.

EDITOR or THE TRIBUNE: notice In your paper
Of to-day, that the audience AZ Mr.. Andersons, FRI
day evening, were not unanimous in their approval
OF the Genteman's Conundyum which obtained the
prize. The audience little knew in what perplex-
Ing dilemma we, poor fsmea'n.s. were placed. L,

given 10 weigh well the various merits we could
perhaps have cone better justice-or at least salts

TO the jury room and glancng through the book
hastily, we found the greater number alluded to Pro-

greatest applause Was not given 10 those which real

her TO sudden stand still. For few moments she
gazed steadfastly into the face of Mr.. H. without
saying word, and then continued the same course

fearing that the unknown female was aooring under
an alteration of mind, followed her slowly, and
when within hfty feet Of her he heard fail in the
water, and at the same time low stihed moan. He
