A BRAVE GIRL.
From the Do.lon Trareler, salurdAy.


Captain Twist, of the Cambridge Police, rec
ports that the house of Newell Bent, on Essex
street, Cambridgeport, was entered about two
O'Clock this morning by burglar. The house
was occupied by two persons, Mr.. Geo. Bent
and his sister, who sleptin different parts of the
house. The girl was awakened by the noise the
burglar made coming up stairs, and soon after
saw him standing in the doorway Of her room.
The girl pretended that there was man in the
bed with her and asked him to get her drink
of water, but finally said she would go and get
it herself. The robber Immediately steppedback
into the entry, and she passed close to him, but
did not let him know that she had seen him.
She went to her brothers. room, woke him up,
and told him their was strange man in the
house. The brother seized revolver, and by
the aid of light held by bis sister, saw the
man orouching in the entry, and discharged one
of the barrels at him. The fellow ran through
the entry, and Mr.. Bent started after him, and
while running fired another shot at the robber,
which he thinks must have taken effect. The
man, however, succeeded in making his escape.
The doors and windows in the lower part of the
house we're found open. but nothing was stolen.
Miss Bent displayed a GOODNESS and bravery in
the affair that is worthy of praise.

A NEW YORK BREWER KILLS HIMSELF
IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN

A NEW YORK BREWER KILLS HIMSELF
IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN
At quite an early hour this morning the resi-
dents Of Attorney, near Houston street, were
startled by the report Of pistol-shot aud the
mingled cries of woman and several children.
On examination, it was found that the cries
came from apartments on the second floor of
the tenement house, l57 Attorney street. oocu-
pied by Gottfred Nestle well to do German
brewer.
Captain Ullman, of the Eleventh precinct,
being on patrol, and hearing the report of The
pistol, OF once rushed to the spot and there
learned the following facts: 1t appears that
Nestle, unable to bear the smiles of fortune with
which be had been favored, took to drink and,
despite tho enireaties Of his wife and friends,
continued in that COURSE He had in his house
small armOry, containing several pistols,
revovers, rifles, SC, with which he threatened
several times to put an end to his existence, but
was always persuaded by his wife not to do so.
For about five or six weeks Nestle had been
drinking more than usual, and in his conduct
showed the signs of delirum tremcns, with the
exception of the last few days, when there
appeared to be considerable improvement in his
condition.
Yesterday he drank two bottles of Rhine wine,
several drinks of brandy, and a large quantity
oflager beer, which Of course upset him entirely.
In that state he went around the house, murmur-
ing threats, but at midnight was finally persuaded
by his wife to 60 to his room, Mrs. Nestle left
him there, and was just turning to enter a small
bedroom where her three children were awaiting
her, when Nestle pulled large navy revolver
from his breast md shot himself through the
head
The ball broke the skull, scattering the brains
ia ba af
Nestle can be easier imagined than described.
She tainted at the horrible sight and it was
some time before che could be revived.
The excitement in the neighbOrhood this
morning was widespread as Nestle was we'll
known, aud much sympathy is expressed at his
untimely end. He leaves a wife aud four
children, the oldest of whom is young man
about eighteen years of age N. Y. Express,

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT
[FrOm the Missouri DcmOcrat.l

From the Missouri Democrat
When the 40th Missouri arrived on the steamer
Olive Branch. woman. with joy sparkling in
her eyes, hurried on board. With buoyant
step and palpitating heart, she scanned the
different companies drawn up on the deck.
"Where is company X ?" she eagerly inquired.
"Over there" replied a soldier, pointing in the
direction of company X. The woman haslened
to the spot, and, passing rapidly in front Of the
sunburnt faces of the men, gazed at each with q
keen, penetrating glance She was looking for
her husband, who had written to her from
Montgomery, Alabama, that the regiment would
start for homo on the following day, and that in
q short time he would be with her. Once more
she passed along the line, scanning the faces
with closer scrutiny, but failed to find the one
she sought. AT length she timidly addressed
ono of the soldiers: ais this Company X ?"
"Yes." 81 am looking for my husband-where
is he ?" "What is his name 7" "Walkor." f"
"0h, he fell overheard and was drowned in the
Alabama river" The poor woman casped her
hands over her face, and, without saying another
word, passed slowly from the boat back to the
shore, seeming to walk without the use of her
eyes. Her heart was too full for her utterance,
and the great agony that had come 10 suddenly
upon her, sealed her lips and checked the
fountain of her tears but the men Of iron nerve
who saw her and knew the cause Of her sorrow,
wept like children,
