stable and was twice fred at by Luther
One OF the shot passed through his side, and
the other wounded his arm. Taylor ran into
the house exclaiming, :" ! am shot! ! have
been expecting it for some days, as Luther
has threatened TO take my life" When ask
ed the cause he replied, =" He has been dis
missed by young lady to whom have Just
been engaged" After friends aud relatives

A CURIOUS SUIoIDE.-Some time since it
was announced that man in Ttusvile, Pa,
committed suicide for the strange reason hat
he had discovered that he was his own grand
father. Leaving dying statement, explain
ing this singular circumstance, he says =
" l married a widow who had grown up
daughter, Ny father visited our house very
often, fell in love with my step-daughter and
married her. So my father became my SON
jn-law, and my s.ep-daughter my mother, be-
cause she was my fathers wife. Some time
aiterwsrd my wife had a son; he was my Ia
ther's brother-in~laN, and my uncle, for he
was the brother Of my stepmother. My fa-
ther's wife-i. g., my stepdaug ghter-had also
a son; he was, of course, my brother, and in
the meantime my grandchld, for he was the
son of my daughter. My wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mothers moth
er. / was my wiie's husband and graudchild
at the came time. And as the husband of a
persons grandmother is his grandfather,
was my own grandfather
That this was a strange condition of things
must be confessed, but we can see no possible
reason why it should cause man to commit
suicide --Bostoa Journal
