In TRoUBLE.-A young husband in Baiti-I
more is in nice pickle. From some cause, he
concluded his wife did not love him as she
should, and he determined to test that element.
Therefore he wrote note, telling her that he
was gowing to drown himself in the canal, and
that before she read the contents of that note
his spirit would be lowering over her, observ-
ing how she took his death. This would-b
suicide intrusted the note to small boy, but
the boy mistook the direction, and carried the
note to next-door neighbor of his wife. Not
liking to communicate the dreadful intelligence
to the unlucky woman, the lady handed the
note to an officer, with instructions, if possible
to prevent the rash act. The officer hurried
off, and, sure enough, found the man on the
bank of the canal. Rushing up, the officer
seized the unlucky husband, and marched him
off to the station-house notwithstanding his
protestations that he did not intend to commit
suicide, etc. After the Incarceration of the
husband, the note was handed to the wife, with
the information that he had been saved. After
upbraiding the officer for not "letting the
precious fool drown himself" the wife made
charge of lunacy against him, and he barely
escaped being placed in the asylum.

which held the last dose he had seen his master
take. and which he had received from Doctor
Corbett's own hands. 1t was too much. The
doctor was of course committed to prison t
undergo trial for murder.
Mrs. Vandolf had been telegraphed for. She
came in time for the funeral, and Immediately
after left, never being seen again in the town.
In due time Doctor Corbett was tried. 1t is
needless to fatigue the reader of this report
with the details of the testimony and argument.
The doctor was convicted of murder in the
first degree, and sentenced to be hanged. Ev-
erybody said it was most righteous judg-
ment.
About three years after the death of Major
Yandolf, Captain Alfred Brogden, who had
been fighting Indians ever since the close OF the
late war, opened the sealed enclosure which
had been sent him by Vandolf He was amazed
and horri6ed by its contents.

OPIUM EATING The most painful conse-

establishes its iron rule over the system, that
very early any deprivation Of the wonted sup
ply may induce indescribable suffering, If it
does not really jeopardize life itself. The OPT
um eater finds that he has entered the slavery
