A LOVERS TRAGEDY.

The quiet little city of Hallowell
was agitated, on Monday of last week,
by q tragedy of uncommon interest.
Mr. Ryant, of Pennington, had been
paying his addresses to young lady
who worked in the factory at Halo
well. She had recently declined re-
ceiving any further attentions from
him, and had requested that her letters
should be returned to her. On Mon
day Ryant visited the factory, called
the young lady out and proceeded with
her to her boarding house, where an
interview took place. On leaving the
room. Ryant requested her to pass out
ahead Of him, which she did, and i'm
mcdlately heard the snap OF a percus-
sion cap. Looking round, she observ-
cd pistol in Ryant's hand directed t
her. She Immediately rushed toward
him for the purpose of seizing it, when
he turned it toward himself and fired,
He Immediately fell dead having re-
ccivcd two balls in his head.
The escape Of the young lady. is a
remarkable one. Ryant had provided
himself with a double-barreled pistol,
and, as supposed, had loaded both
barrels with ball. But, instead of
that, he put both balls into one barrel.
and the barrel he snapped at the young
lady was the one that did not contain
any ball--AHgRssa, (laine) Age.

lar story
A friend informs us of the following
occurrence, which is reported 10 have
taken place recently at Attapulgus,
Georgia. A gentleman who had re,
ceivcd considerable sum of .money
was compelled to go from home, leavv
ing his wife alone in the house--situ-
ated some distance from any other
dwelling Toward evening two ne
groes entered the house and demanded
of the lady the money, or they would
take her life. Being a woman ofgreat
coolness, she saw at once it would be
useless for her to attempt to eVade the
demand, so she produced the money
and gave it 10 them The negroes
then remarked, that, as supper was
nearly ready, they would stay and eat
with her. She told them to be seated
until she got ii ready,
The woman had phial of strych-
nine in her cupboard. Supper being
ready, the woman, in sweetening the
coffee, managed to put a dose OF the
poison in each of the negroes cups,
They drank, and in few moments
were dead. The neighbors we're cal
