by the gomtt;ere, and so, unpel ceiyed, they
used to wander into the adjoining pine wood.
But one evening, the tryst having been
accomplished rs usual, they sailed forth,
and once more in the shelterinS pine wood.
Susanna turned round on her lover. and
upbraided him bitterly with Il decrease OF
affection for her, and then the usual lovers
quarrel ensucd. Swift, angry words passed
on both sides, till Jacques, goaded almost to
madness by her reprOaches, and beng
also of a very hasty temper, drew out his
knife. and without a moments hesitation
stabbed her to the heart. No sooner was
the deed done than oh, how bitterly 1t was
repcutcf of. He threw himself on the
ground by her side. and by every endearln:
name strove to recall that life which his
own hand had taken, but all of no avail.

Sad Fate Of 4 Young aIan.
lrougbkcepsie Core srondence Of the New York
Standard
Some time during 1864, there arrived in
this country from Germany young. robust
German named Lawrence k:ckes. He
brought with him 800 in gold bright hopes
and high ambition. Soon after landing he
came into Duchess county, and located IN
the town Of Washington. with David War
ner, as a harness maker. Being an excel
lent workman, and witEal a steady young
man, he soon won the esteem of his EN-
ployer, and gathered about-hlm number OF
steadf;sst friends. After working month
or two, some one suggested that he should
high premium. He did sell it, and was so
elate1 that he spent his profits freely.
About the same time he became ac-
quainted with an estimabie young lady.
also a resident of the town Of Westminster,
and Immediately became infatuated with
her. He paid her many visits, and at diff
ferent times made her costly presents. On
one of his visits he asked her who she
thought the most of. another young man
who was paying his addresses to her or him
self. She told him that she had more love for
him, but that he had been extravagaAt, had
spent all his money, and she did not wish to
marry him because he was poor and could
not support her. His suit rejected. R!ckes
turned from the house .isibly affected. and
from that time forth was sullen and Eorosc,
scarcely ever speaking.
For a period of pvo weeks he pursued his
a7ocatiOn. saying never Il word to his EN-
ployer, not even answering questions which
were put to him. An evening later he ap-
peared ut the village hotel to attend a ball
which was in progress there. Ascending to
the ball room he observed the lady who had
rejected hin, Waiting with his rival. and
was told that they had just been married

nouncement Rickes' face became suddenly
pale, aud, without noticing any one he
suumarily left the spot, and .or several
hours walked up and down the roadwa; in
front of the hotel. with bowed head. and
did not return to his boarding house till
early dawn. His department afterward
was such as to attract general attention.
At last ne was induced to become mem.

taken thither about two weeks ago. The
writer saw him on Wednesday, Of this week

on his side with his knees under his chin
his feet bare, his hair disheveled. and over
all a loosely thrown blanket. He had laid

4 MYSTERY or FIFTY YEARS AGO
SOLVED.
The Fate OF Chancellor Iansin&-He Was
Not Murdered. but Committed suicide.
from the Schenectady Star.


W.. have in recent issues OF the Star made
reference 70 Thur.ow Weeds letter regard
ing tho mystery of Chancellor Lansing's
fate, in which Mr.. Weed relates that twenty
three years ago. All eminent citizen OF this
State. now deceased. put him in possession
of information. which. in the opinion of the
informant. clearly proved that Chancellor
Lansin. had been murdered. and that
through the agency OF certain parties whose
names this eminent citizen communicated.
This person further invokin: promise
that should Mr. Weed survive the parties
implicated, he would publish the facts.
This contingency has now occurred: but
Mr.. Weed states that. on mature cOnsidrTa-
zion and consultation, he has concluded
that circumstances have absolved him from
his promise. and ne declines to publish the
facts Of the alleged murder. We published
a few DAYS since = letter from John L. Liv
ingstop, Il grandson of Chancellor Lansing,
calling upon Mr.. Weed to make known all
the facts and circumstances regarding the
fate OF the chancellor. more known to him.
Mr.. Weed has failed to maketths disclosure.
and we have therefore concluded to make
known some facts in our possession regard
ing the fate of Chancellor Lansing-made
known to us by an old gentleman. u we'll
known and respected resident of this city,
who WAS personal friend of the chancel-
lol's family. and to whom the facts We are
about to disclose were made known years
ago, and from what ne believes to be a relia
BILE source. The chancellor was the pos
SCISSOR OF great wealth, and had been specu-
iating heavily and had swamped himself:
He was in New York. stopping at the old
City Hotel. when he received intelligence
that his residence on State street. i'll AL
bany. had been seized and was to be sold
by the Sheriff. Mr.. Lansing wrote a letter
to Albany. and took it to the boat
himself lie was never seen afterward.
nor was any trace afterwMd found OF
! him. 1t was surmiscd at the time by his
friends that he had stepped off the plank.
i'll the darkness. and been drowned. But
such was not the case. Mr.. Lansing re-
turned to the City Hotel, and there com
mitted suicide by hanging himself. The
matter was hushed up. the body was Sc
cretly removed in the night time and depos-
tied in the family vault of Abraham G:
Lansing, brother Of the chancellor, and
| the fate of Chancellor Lansing renamed a
mystery to the people. only to be solved
| after u lapse of half a century. Our in
foImant. who is a man of veracity and probl-
! t.. stated that he was fully convinced that
| the above facts We're the solution of the
mysterious disappearance Of Chancellor
Lansing. Now. let us hear from Mr..
Weed.

steel plates for boilers the corrosion is less,

greater than that of iron that the plates
