a SINGULAR AFFAIR.-We have a bit Of
news from Holland, which, coming at this
time, excites good deal Of attention. Aman
ct the Hague, becoming tired of his wife, at
tempted t. poison her in the following man
ner: They had sat down to dinner, aud while
she left the room or her back was turned. he
pat the poison into her soup. Not daring to
trust himself IL her presence, he feigued some
excuse and left the room. By a wonderful
Providence, when she came to the table. a
spider had dropped from the ceiling of the
room into the soup plate. She was especially
afraid of spiders, and her husband had often
laughed at her for it. So she carefully took
the spider out with a spoon, and finding she
couid not bring herself to eat after it, she, in
the .bsence of her husband, changed tie
plates and ate has soup. After a while he
came back and deVoured what he supposed 10
be the pure soup. He was Immediately taken
with conyulsions and expired. Before death
he confessed that he had poisoned the SCUM.
and that it must have been put before him
unintentiOnally, by his wife Now how mar.
row was the escape of his wife, not only from
being poisoned, bUt from 6eIRg hung If the
man had died without confession, the woman
must have been Immediately arrested. Poi
son would have been found ia the man and in
the soup-plate. She gave him the soup. Here
would have been circumstautial evidence
strong enOugh to have hung her, and an inno-
cent woman would have expired but for the
confession.

COUNTERFEITER AND COUNTER Far
A fellow the other day passed upon Mr. FRS
be-, the ticket agent of the Great Western
Railway Company, on the Canada side of
the Suspension Bridge, a counterfeit note the
character of which was discovered too late 10
arrest the gentleman who had strolled over
the bridge. But Mr.. Frisbee was net to be
done in this way, and started in pursuit Of
his man, whom he eventually found enj iying
a nap in n car on this side. 0fcourse he could
not be arrested there, so retiring on tip-toe
not to disturb his nap, Frisbee found two or
three track men to whom he tipped the wink
to shove the car across the bridge. II is said
that the surprise Of that dishonest youth on
coming to himself British prisoner was some
thing to witness When he had sufficiently
gathered his scattered wits, he attempted TO
drop roll Of spurious notes, but was detected
at this too, and finally went to Jail mlserably.
Ten years is the least he can expect in Can
