broken, q frightful wound in his head,
and other grave injuries. Sent to the
hospital, Necker, the old man, made a
confession which caused some surprise.
He had, he said, notwithstanding his
blindness, gone into q rope-walk by the
side of the garden wall, with the intention
of committing robbery. The garden
er's dog, which was loose, saw him, and
after barking to give an alarm, rushed on
him, and bit him most severely. In dis.
may he took to flight, but in his hurry
ne went too near an abandoned quarry
seven yards deep. He fell into it. and
injured himself in the manner stated.
After remaining some time insensible, he
managed to crawl out of the quarry, and
succeeded after while in reaching the
Grande Rue. There his strength failed
him and he could 90 no further. He &C.
cordingly fell in the street. and remained
until found. The Old mans injuries are
so serious that his life is despaired of.

tory. The following from the st. Louis
Republican. is one:
We saw last evening an apt illustration
of the affection Of a woman. A poor in
ebriated wretch had been taken to the
calatocse. His conduct in the street and
after he had been taken to the cell was
of such violent character that it became
necessary 10 handcuff him. The demon
rum had possession Of his soul, and he
gave to his rawlings curses so profane
as to shock the sense Of his fellow pris-
oners, one of whom, in the same cell, at
his own solicitation, was placed in a sep.
arate apartment. A woman appeared at
The grating, and in her hands she had a
rude tray, upon which were some slices
OF bread, fresh from the hearthstone, and
other little delicacies for her erring hus-
band.
She stood at the bar, gazing intently
into the thick gloom where her manacled
companion wildly raved. Her voice was
low and soft, and as she called his name
its utterance was as plaintiye as the mel
ody of fond and crushed spirit. The
tears streamed frcm her eyes, and there,
in the dark house. the abode of the most
wretched and depraved, the tones of hel
voice found their way into that wicked
mans heart, and he knelt in sorrow and
in silence before his young injured wife
while his heart found relief IN tears such
as only man can weep. Though tn.
iron still bound his wrist, he placed hii
hands. with their heavy insignia of deg
radiation, confdingly and atfectionately
