A MAN AND HIS WIFE COMMITTING SUICIDE
by HANGNG.-We learn by gentleman from
Erie that horrible affair occurred about eight
miles south of that city, near Waterford, on Fri
dav last. A German named Shultz, living near
the old turnpike road, committed slight msde-
meanOr for which he was threatened with arrest
by the Over-officious constable of that town. The
constable even went so far as to demand $500 of
Shultz, in order to settle the matter, otherwise
no would be taken down the river" !. G., to the
State Prison at Pittsburg. Ignorant of the law
and of the powers and duties of the constable and
knowing that the amount would absorb all of his
hard earned property, Shultz expressed his deter
mination to his wife to die rather than to 60 to
prison or pay the money.
The matter was talked over between them, and
she determined to follow his example. Having no
children Of their own, Shultz entrusted his money
and valuables to adopted about fifteen years
of age on the evening of Friday, saying that he
and his wife were going out and if they did not re-
turn, to 90 to the orchard in the morning, where
he, the boy, would find them The boy remained
in the house all night, and in the morning. finding
that they had not returned, proceeded as directed
to the orchard, where the lifcless bodies of both
husband and wife were found suspended by one
rope to the limb of tree. 1t appears that Shultz
had fastened the rope first to the neck of his wife,
and then climbing into the tree, he passed it over
limb, adjusted it to his neck. and then jump
causing, probably, instant strangulation. Our in
formant did not learn the result of the coroners
inquest. We should be loath to carry about us the
leaden weight of feeling which must fill the heart

THE EMIGRATION FROM EURoPE-The number
of emgrants arrived at Quebec the present season,
up to the 18th of July, was 22,69O, against 4,231
last year ut the same time. We notice that COM
parativcly few emigrants from Ireland direct land
at Quebec, they having been, both this year and
kst, outnumbered even by those from Scotland.
The number arrived this year comprises S73o from
England, 5974 from Norway, 4341 from Germany,
1874 from Scotland, and 1856 from Ireland. 1t is
probable that most of those from Liverpool are
Irish. From England proper the emigration has
never been large, and is now generally confined to
Mormons, who come from Wales and the northern
counties of England.
COwARDLY ASSAULT ON A BOY.-ln Troy an
Irishman named Thomas Kelley knocked down
boy named Hiram johnson, for slapping another

the boys nose and mouth. While the boy was be-
ing conveyed home his mother arrived at the river
side, by another route, having heard that hor son
was drowned. She was prevented by force from
jumping into the river with wild idea of searching
for him. On the officers taking her home, shs i'm
mediately tainted on seeing the dangerous condit-
