The Detroit Tribune says of that story
OF the circus musicians being eaten by lions
in Missouri, that "ths lions treated the
musicians with distinguished considera tion,
and politely escorted them to the door ol
the cage without taking single juicy steak
from them. The musicians didn't tumble
into the den Of lions at all, but went on
blowing their horns with melodious compo

couldn't digest the musicians If they had
swallowed them. There weren't any lions

A well-todo boiler-maker of Paterson, named
Richard Oliver, owing to financial difficulties,
some weeks ago endeaVored to get out of his
troubles by blowing out his brains. His wife dis
covered him and snatched the gun from his mouth
just in time to save the shape of his Uranium. He
was similarlyfrustrated when he hadarope around
his neck, lust ready to uncoil himself. A dose
of poison was rendered harmless by strong
emetic administered by his ever-faithful wife.
On Saturday night last he tried it again with
bottle of laudanum, but the wife sent some
warm water and salt speedily after it, and again
saved him. On Monday night he succeeded in
getting an old gun, with which he repaired to
the woods, placed the end in his mouth, and
with his foot pulled the trigger, which launched
him inIo eternity, with his head blown literally
to pieces. coroners jury decided the man
dead at last, from the effects of fit of tempo

27 Vesey street, Newark, died. The room in
which the coffin was placed was filled with
mourners on the occasion of the funeral. While
the services were in progress the floor gave way,
and the coffin, mourners, and all were precipi-
tated into the cellar. The coffin was broken
open, women shrieked and tainted, and for a
while the excitement was intense. Finally order
was restored the coffin was mended, and the
exercises concluded.
