Attempted Murder and Suicide.

The Boston Advertiser says fearful TRACE
dy occurred in that city on Sunday last, at a
house of ill repute on Hanover street. Lewis
F. Simmons attempted to murder his wife
Mary, by cutting her throat with razor, and
afterwards cut his own throat with the same
instrument.
The parties, is seems, had been boarding at
another house, quarreled and separated, the
woman going to the house where the tragedy
occurred. Early Sunday morning Simmons
went to the apartment occupied by his wife,
which was front chamber in the third story,
and finding the door locked, demanded admis-
sion. Mrs. Simmons refused 70 admit him,
telling him she feared he had pistol, and
would blow her brains out; but on his say
ing he had nothing to harm her with, she
opened the door for his entrance At about
O'Clock passers on the street had their at
tention attracted by the breaking of a pane OF
glass in the window Of the room, and by stains
of blood upon it. Notice was given at Police
Station, and Captain Myers dispatched offer
j. w. Fletcher to the scene. Entering the
room, he found Mrs. Simmons lying upon
lounge, with a frightful cash upon the left side
of her throat, and her husband standing near
the centre of the room, with similar wound
in his own throat. AS the officer entered, Mr.
Simmons remarked that he had begun the
bloody work, but that the woman was to blame
and STOPPING to pick up the razor, which he
had let fall upon the floor, saying II might a:

by Selling him.
DIR. Toby and Maghill dressed Mrs. Simmons
wound, which was nearly five inches in length
and so far severed the wind pipe that it was
necessary to stitch that organ. The attending
physicians are of opinion that her chance fol
recovery is small. Simmons and his wife were
conveyed to the City Hospital after theil
wounds had been dressed.

An Unknown Lord.

To show how ignorant were portion of
the people ofEngland, less than a century ago,
in relation to the teachings of the Bible, the
following laughable story is told, in an ole
book, ofRev. DIR. Webster, a popular preacher
Of the Kirk ofScotland, in Edinburgh:
Business brought DIR. Webster at one time
to London, and one day when passing the
House OF Lords, his curiosity induced him to
make an effort to stop and see them. None
were admitted without an order, except noble
mems servants Webster, being ignorant OF
the rule, requested admittance Ssi'H

+. THE CHoLERA.-The alarm recently felt in
Europe respecting the prevalence of the chol-
era seems to be fast subsiding, though it still
fingers at Constantinople. The Porte has re-
solved on large measure of sanitary reform,
involving extensive improvements in the sew
erage and the removal of slaughter houses and
offal. The cholera conference win meet in
the Turkish capital during the first or second
week in January. In Italy, the cholera seems
to be dying out, as the daily bulletins, from
Naples and elsewhere, record but few cases.
The doctors are apprehensive of a fresh out
break in the spring. In the official journal of
Naples it is stated that, while the deaths il.
the month of October were 1907, including
ia cases of cholera, those for November were
1890, Of which 2,2s5 were cholera patients.

portion to their number were the troops quart

comfort of our noble soldiers, and maufully
braced their shoulders to an enormous load Of

On Tuesday, the second day of Christmas,
some seventy members of the church and So

new home, cheering their hearts with their
friendly greetings and cordial congratulations.
After spending the afternoon and evening
in manner alike pleasant in the passing en-
joyment, and in the review, and consecrating
the house by prayer, addresses and appropri-
ate hymns and melodies, they separated, leay-
ing behind them, in addition to the pleasant
memories of the most agreeable visit, eighty
dollars in money, and forty-five dollars in other
valuables, equally acceptable,-ffty dollars OF
the sum being contributed by the ladies and
presented to the Pastors wife as a Christmas
present.
They also gave proof of their unsectarian
spirit, in improvising very acceptable little
purse for the Methodist minister of the place,
