Gambling for a Grave.

A correspondent of the Boston
Mail says that few days since,
when the yellow fever was raging
faarfully in Florida, manager Forbes,
with his theatrical company, was per-
forming in the town of ApaIachicoIa,
and the business Of the theatre was
of course ruined. Many of his per-
formers were stricken down. There
were two Of the number whose cases
were considered hopeless, after their
admission to the hospital. The
grounds of that institution, at that
time, were cut up for graves; and our
two actors, having become GONZALES
cent, were allowed to walk through
the cemetry, for such had the grounds
become. Mound after mound met
their view, the newly Turned earth
telling of areeently inhunled victim
of the scourge. At-last two unoccu-
pied graves were before them. They
were dug very near each ether, yet
over one only swayed large willow,
giving mournfillly picturesque APP
pearauca to the spot. The two friends
were conversiug together over the
grim habitations, when, singular as il
may appear, a relapse occurred to
each. Each claimed the grave under
the willow. High words ensued, but
the sudden quarrel was stayed by
proposal from one of the party, to g
within the hospital, and play a game
Of all tours for the right of possess
ion, the winner to be allowed the use
of the narrow tenement. Amid the
raging Of their fever-heated bruins the
lgama was played, the proposer of the
game won the stake, and the mex
morning his lifaless body was laid be
meath the willow The loserat tina
time is yet a participant in the gam;

4 terrible instance of the suffer

A terrible instance of the suffer-
ings caused by post-oflice misman-
agement or robbery, happened re-
Gently at st. Louis. A man who
went thence to Texas, to return i'm
mediately, found some lucrative bus
mess which would detain him sever
al months, aud therefore wrote to
his wife enclosing Sl50 for Der pres
ent wants. The letter never reached
her, and being, with her FIVE chill
drep, turned out of her bone for non
payment of rent, and driven to de-
spair by the idea that her husband
had deserted her, she drowned her,
self and youngest child in the Mis-
sissippi. The unhappy husband and
father, receiving no answer to his let
ter, returned to st. Louis to find
himself a widower and his children
supported by public charity.
