Another Family Tragedy-A Lady Shot by
Her Husband and Son.
The Journal TEsdre-et-Lofre OF Tours, France
publishes the following details OF crime which was
committed on the night OF the 25th ult. at the neigh
boring commune OF ST. Avertin:-Mr. Patry, formerly
a banker OF Tours, retired some years back from
business and took up his abode on charming pro-
perty called La HOussaie, which he had purchased IN
the commune OF st. Avertin. HIS family consisted
Of his wife, four children and two servants. The
house is situated at the bottom OF garden, walled
in on all sides. Nine. Patry slept In room on
the ground floor, accompanied by two OF her chill
dren, and her husband slept on the first floor with
his two sons, one Of whom = seventeen years od.
Between nine and ten O'Clock IN the evening, when
Mr.. Parry was on the point OF retiring he heard an
unaccustomed noise on the ground moor, which
caused him to go down stairs, armed with his gun.
What could have been the cause OF the disturbance

Further details state that Mrs. Patry was struck by
two Shots taking effect In the side and another
in the head, both being mortal wounds, and sure

Painless Digestion.

No man" says Sir Ashley Cooper, ought to
know by lis sensations that hc uas a stomach.
In other words, when digestion is perfec; there
is neither pain nor uneasiuess in the region
where it takes place. Nausea, want of appetite,
tatulency, oppression after eating shooting
pains in the epigaStrium, flushing OF the face
at meal times and furrea tongue in The morn.
ing are among the direct symptoms OF indiges'
ton. Constipation, biliousness, headache ner.
vous irritability, physical weakness, and low
spirits. are its almost invariable accompani-
ments. All these indications of DYSPEPSIA,
whether immediate or secondary, are usually
aggravated by hot weather.
The close of summer is therefore the season
when the victim of dyspepsia most urgently
needs a tonic aud regulating medicine. Or
course, every invalid has many advisers. one
friend recommends one drug, another another;
but N a multitude of councillors there Is not
always safety. The STANDARD REMEDY or The
PRESENT AGE Fer INDIGESTION, in all its stages,
is HOSTETrER'S STOMACH BlTTERS.
Time, that proves all things has established Its
reputation on an impregnable toundation,-the

1t combines the properties of a gentle eraeuant

nobody was looking at her. He bowed,
and walked round to the chair and seat
ed himself; but finding that he was so
placed that he could not see his neigh
boris face, he moved his chair. He was
not geing to fight snch a. duel as this
with the disadvantage of the sun in his
eyes.
Hitherto there had hardly been a word
spoken. Miss Stanbury had muttered
something as she was courtesying, and
Barty Burgess had made some return
Then she began: "Mr. Burgess" she
said, II am indebted to you for YOU

quest" To this he bowed again. 81
should not have ventured thus to
trouble you were it not that years are
dealing more hardly with me than they
are with you, and that l could not have
ventured to discuss matter of deep
interest otherwise than in my own
room" 1t was her room now, certainly,
by law; but Barty Burgess remembered
1t when it was his mothers room, anu
when she used to give them all theIl
meals there-now so many, many years
ago! He bowed again, and SAID not d
word. He knew well that she couid
sooner be brought to her point Dy Ills
silence than by his speech.
She was a along time coming 10 ner
poipt. Before she could do SO. she wa
forced to allude to times long past, 'fi
] To subjects which she found it very 0iI-
fcult to touch without saying that
which would either belle herself, or
seem TO be severe upon him. Though
she had prepared herself, she could
hardly get the words spoken, and she
was greatly impeded by the obstinacy
of his silence. But at last her PROPOSE
ton was made to him. She told him
that his nephew, Brooke, was about TO
be married to her niece, Dorothy; ana
that e was her intention TO make
Brooke her heir in the bulk of the pro-
perty which she had received under the
will OF the late Mr.. Brooke Burgess.
'Indeed," she said, "all that l received
at your brothers hands s. I'll GO back to
your brothers family unimpaired." He
only bowed, and would not say a word.
Then she weat on to say that it had at
first been Il matter to her of deep regret
that Brooke should have set his atfcc-
tons upon her niece, as there had been
in her mind strong desire that none of
her own people should enjoy the rever-
sion of the wealth, which she had al
ways regarded as being hers only for
the term of her life; but that she had
found that the young people had been
so much in earnest, and that her own
feeling had been so near akin to pre-
judice, that she had yielded. When
this was said Barty smiled instead of
bowling, and Miss Stanbury felt that
there might be something worse even
than his silence. His smile told her that
he believed her to be lying. Neverthe
less she went on. She was not fool
enough to suppose that the whole ma
ture of the man was to be changed by a
few words from her. So she went on.
Tue marriage was a thing fixed, and
she was thinking of settlements, and
had been talking to lawyers about new
will.
