two inches long, and of proportionate bulk.
There is ridge running from the top of the

or purposing to infict injury, he erects them
and draws the crest forward over his ewes,
and utters most hideous yells at the same time.
Nothing seems TO intimidate him. Some.
times he advances, with boughs Of trees bro
ken off for the purpose of concealing his APP
proach and attack, and suddenly grasps the
legs of the human being, brings him instantly
to the ground, breaks his bones by blows Of
his mighty arms and hands, and tears the flesh
with his monstrous teeth. The native hunts

pursuing less formidable animals, has learned
that the safest way to engage, is to act on the

The SCHUYLER FAMLY.-A New York COR
respondent of the Boston Transcript, in no.
ticing the Schuyler failure and fraud in New
York, says:
Mr.. Robert Schuyler was well known in Bos
ton doubtless from his extensive business rela-
tions, his family connexions, and the circum-
stances of his collegiate education. He was
graduated at Harvard University in 1917, in
class remarkable for the talents of its members
as it included among others, George Ban
croft, s. A. Eliot, Rev. Dr. Stephen H. Tying,
(of st. Georges church, New York; Caleb
Cushing, and | think the late Lynde M. Walker,
the first editor of the Transcript. Stephen
Schuyler was of the class at Cambridge in 1920.
These gentlemen are grandsons Of General
Schuyler, Of revolutionary fame, and nephews
of Alexander Hamilton. In addition to the
vast sums raised upon railroad stock, it is re-
ported in Wall street to-day that upwards Of a
thousand dollars in advances upon railroad iron
have been diverted to private use so that the
grand total of funds miisapplied reaches to the
enormous sum Of $2,3O5, ,0OOl
In regard to the social life Of Mr.. Robert
Schuyler, family reasons, it is said, induced him
to propose to his lady-love secret marriage,
and separate establishments in town. They
have recently lived in different houses in 22d
street. More than quarter Of a century has
elapsed since this arrangement had been made
by Mr.. Schuyler and such had been the man.
ner of his life, that his most intimate personal
friends thought he was q batchelor. Some
months ago, one of his daughters being about
to be married to an Episcopal Clergyman her
true name and history were told to her lover,
before the final arrangements for the wedding
were madel We often heard it remarked that
every house has skeleton in it, but in house
where years Of concealment have been prac-
ticed, there must have been skeleton in ere3y
room! The card of Mrs. "Spicer" signed Mrs.
Robert Schuyler and published in the Tribune,
was thought by some to be hoax, but it is
doubtless an authentic document. When win
our people learn the potency Of silence in cases
of trouble? always had respect for Jobs

when they found him in deep distress.

SINGULAR SUICIDE OF TWO PERsoNs.-A sui
eide, attended with circumstances of singular
character. occurred this morning in East Alb
ington, the particulars of which, as we learn,
are as follows
1t seems that young man named Isaac p.
Nash, native Of Pembroke, but a resident of
East Abingdon, and young lady named Adri-
ana Sampson, belonging in Stoughton, and
formed an attachment for each other, but, from
some cause or other, they were prevented from
being united in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The young lady was in this city yesterday on a
visit to an aunt, and appeared in excellent
health and spirits. In the afternoon she re-
turned to her home in Stoughton, and towards
evening her lover, Mr.. Nash, hired horse
and chaise in East Abingdon, and proceeding
to Stoughton, took Miss Sampson to ride.
This was the last which was seen Of them alive,
SO far as is yet known.
About FIVE o'clock this morning Mr.. John
Sears, who tends Reeds Mill, in East Abing-
ton, discovered horse and chaise (which has
since proved to be the one hired by Mr.. Nash)
standing near the mill, the horse being tied and
carefully covered with buffalo robe. On the
fence, near the chaise, Mr.. Sears also found two
shawls and bonnet, which have since been
identified as belonging to Miss Sampson; and
near by the same spot he also found Mr.. Nash's
hat, in which was the following note:
"My name is Isaac P. Nash Inthis water you
will find me. am perfectly sane man.
p. S.-Bury us both together as you find us.
Isaac p. NASH
Mr.. Sears, upon discovering these things,
went at once to the mill pond, and soon dis.
covered the bodies of Mr.. Nash and Miss Samp-
son, in about seven or eight feet of water, with
their arms encircling each others necks, and
their wrists and arms firmly bound together
with stout cord. He Immediately drew the
bodies from the water, and Coroner Reed was
called on to hold an inquest thereupon. Cir
cumstances are known vhich render it very
probable that the act was committed after IL
o'clock last night-Boston Journal, July ii.
