James Naggs, a well.known thief, was
arrested in the act of robbing safe in De-
troit on the 20th ultimo, and locked up in
the station.house. Soon after, he tore his
shirt into strips and hanged himself, but
his substitute for rope broke and let him
down. Some hours later he was heard
praying and weeping, which exercises he
continued for about thirty minutes. At
the expiration of that time he was heard
to say: 1.-THE best thing | can do is to
beat my brains out. No, won't do that
either, because it hurts too much. Yes, I
anyhow" saying which he suddenly sprang
up and struck his head against the hard
wall of his cell with great force, and re.
peated the operation several times before
the keeper could open the door and stop
him. He was severely but not dangerously

A curious incident is told in relation to
the funeral of the late Thomas D. McGee.
When the burial service was over at the
cemetery, aud the crowd dispensing, some
legs had become little shaky, were dis.
heartened at the idea of walking back to
Montreal, q distance of two miles. The
funeral car with its six noble steeds was a
very tempting spectacle, so, after a little
parley, some dozen or so clambered into the
empty hearse, two or three more perched
themselves on the outside, with one on the
back of each of the horses as outriders, and
in this manner the catafalque came into
town, and, as may be readily imagined, the
sight created quite a sensation among the
quiet inhabitants.
