LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY.-on Wednesday evening
last, inst after dark, the report of a gun was,
heard by the residents on North Mulberry street,
and moment after the body of Mr. NJ. 7. Armant
was found lying on the pavement in front of his
residence. Several buchshot had penetrated his
head and neck, and his death must have been in-
stantaneous. No clue hassyet been found to his
assassin.
RMr. Armant was of French descent, and spoke
English with difficulty. He was native of Louis
lana, but for several years resident of LeXng
ton His mind has been long disordered, and he
faneied that he had received injury and insult from
q number OF persons-seme ncgroes-some of
them our best citizens Whom he believed to be
leagued together for his destruction. se ass-a
In revenge he often threatened the lives of his
supposed enemies, and was in the habit of plaoard-
ing their names with careatures of their persons
upon pieces of tin, whiehhe fastened with chain
and paddock to the lamp post near his door. At
the moment when he was shot he seems TO, have
been on his way to these caricatures with his gun
