says the Paris Estafette, "in the Fauburg ST.
Denis, near the Hospice Dubois, in which an
elegantly dressed young woman was seated,
and who, from time TO time, looked eagerly
from the window as though expecting some
one. 10, \ short time alter the door of the
carriage was opened by a fashionable looking
man who was about to ascend, but scarcely
had he placed his foot oh,the step when he
uttered piercing cry, and fell backward on
the pavement. On being taken up and con-
veyed into chemists shop, it was found
that a quantity of sulphuric, acid had been
thrown into his face, by which the sight of
both eyes was destroyed, and his face dread
fully burnt. The lady wasimIhediately ar
rested. and taken to the commissary of po-
lice"

SPIRITUAL The spirits seems capable Of
anything There is nothing in the list of
extremes" that can happen, that the belev-
ers 10 the faith will not subscribe to, and the
more preposterous, of course, it is merely
more wonderful aud more convincing. A
woman in this city, whose husband had been
;'dead aud laid in his grave" these three
years, announced to her surprised female
hcquaintances, few days since, that her
dreams and hopes would be realzed--that
she would be mother ere long without the
slghtest, doubt. Her acquaintances were
ihunderstruck, and, mentally consigned her
TO nfamy and depreciation. But no! she
was an honest woman. Her child would be
legitimate-"bu, howl" as with one voice,
inquired her already scandalized friends.
"your husband has been dead these three
years" turning up an assortment of scornful
lips and noses. CHOW! why, see my husband
every night" replied the beIiever--"he comes
through the key hole to see me, in the shape
of spirit, every night-isn't that honest
