ANXIOUS TO BE HANeED.-There is an old man named Jeremiah Collins, in prison at Albany, under sentence of death for the murder of his wife. Unlike most culprits similarly situated, he insists on the execution of his sentence. He insists upon it that his wife deserved to be killed, and at the same time seems to think that he ought to be hanged. He objects to any communication of his sen- tence, and expresses dissatisfaction with Gov. Hoffman for postponing his execu- tion few weeks. He was originally sentenced to be hanged on the 18th oi May, but he Governor respited him to the 18th of July. When he was sen- fenced he requested the Judge to make the time as short as possible.

A Faithful Fellow.

heard Q story that exceeds anything of the kind have ever known, says a correspondent writing from New York. By the way, did you ever hear of Martel, the Creole hair-dresser, who once four ished in New York? We'll, he had a great reputation among the aristocracy and was consulted by the first ladies, not only in regard to coiffure, but to dress. No bride was considered ready for the alter until Martel had pronounced sentence upon her appearance. When he fell sick, and was dying, these fair patrons would alight from their carriages to enquire in person for his health, and when permitted, would enter his sick room and nurse him. But this is the remarkable story: During the Santo Do mingo revolution some years ago, a slave, named Toussaint escaped from that island with his mistress, and went to France. From France they came to New York, arriving here in most inn poverished condition. Toussaint found, after considerable search, two very cheap and poor rooms, in which he installed his mistress and child, and for the first few days he begged for their support. Then he made arrangements to go from house to house on certain hours in the capacity of barber to gentlemen. As he made his way in his art, he opened g barber shop, which soon became one of frst-class resort. As he fourished in business the condition of the woman and child improved in proportion. The lat ter, girl, was we'll educated, and being possessed of great beauty and winning ways married very wealthy man of the name of Kouger. After time the moth
 CT died. Toussaint, who had little faitl in anything American, invested his earn ings in France, and he too soon aftel died. Before dying, however, he willed his fortune to the daughter of his be loved mistress. A few years later Mir Kouger failed in business and died
 leaving his wife and children penniless except for the Toussaint legacy. Th' bereaved family parted with their hom' and household idols in New York ant removed to little New England village where they now reside, supported b, the interest of $20, 900, which they regu larly receive in gold from France.

SAD ROMANCE IN REAL LHE.-The Salem Press tells the sad story of poor, but too ambitious, girl. She was the daughter of mechanic who removed from Troy to Salem about forty years ago, and being handsome and intelli gent, she soon won the hearts of all the boys in the village. But she was proud, she wanted fine clothes and riches, she repaid the love of the young men with coldness and indifference. At last one conquered her pride. won her love and her consent to their union. Now the demon entered in the form of wealthy man from New York, who soon suc- ceeded in turning her head and inducing her to elope with him to Albany, where they were married. For few months all was bright and happy, and tho sim pie country maiden lived life of ease and enioyment. One day the husband left her side never to return. Then she fell subsequently, she was reclaimed through the efforts of Magdalen so- ciety, and she became matron of female reformatory institution. She died few weeks since, The young man to whom she was engaged was buried only few years since in one ot the grave yards ot Salem. Henever afterward married, and never ceased to mourn for his early love. "
