But if death ever overcame Andrew is
left uncertain; for he Is further de-
scribed on his tombstone as "the pre-
sent Deacon Convener of Weavers in
this burg, who died 18th July, 1745. .
AS we pass on, we are occasionally
struck by the elegant Latinity of some
of the epitaphs, which. does credit to
the authors. Now and then name
turns up which must have bothered
them. Such one is Wemyss of Bogie,
at Kirkcaldy, of whom we read
"Boggius hic octo Vita post lustra, Jacobus
In tumulo Vemius, pFsecoee morte jacit-"
8 But the quaint epitaphs attract us
more than the learned inscriptions.
Torryburn has a good crop of them,
from which we take one as. a sample:

CHESTERFIELD happened to be at a ball
in France, where Voltaire was one of
the guests Chesterfield seemed gazing
about the brilliant circle of the ladies /;
Voltaire accosted him "My lord, 1
know you are Judge which are more
beautiful, the English or the French
ladies p "Upon my word, replied
his lordship, with his usual presence of
mind, ''I am no connoisseur OF paint
ings." Some time after this, Yoltaire,
being in London, went to a nobleman's
ball with Lord Chesterfield a lady in
company, prodigiously painted, directed
her whole discourse to Yoltaire. and en-
tirely engrossed his conversation. Ches-
terfield came up. and tapped him on the

The Sufferers All Doing weii-A Good
Prospect for Their Recovery.
The terrible attempted family slaughter on
Thirteenth street yesterday morning, for the only
early Information Of which the public are in.
debted to the enterprise Of the REPUBLICAN,,
created considerable excitement throughout the
city, and the house was visited during yesterday
by many Of the friends Of the family, profferlns
their sympathies and services for the sufferers.
The following additional facts have been OBJ
taiued concerning the family:
II. Randolph Hargrove, the perpetrator Of the
deed, has, we are assured, ever horne the char
acter not only OF gentleman, hut has been a
klnd aud anectlonate husband and father. He
has been IN this city hut a few DAYS, stopping
with Mrs. Brown, hls wlfe's sister and in search
Of employment. The parties are known TO be
highly connected, lIafRroye being the son OF
John Randolph's sister, and his wife, one OF the
most accomplished ladies' Of the state Of Virginia
Neither Of the parties, although very seriously
cut, will probably die. Mr.. HarRrove was taken
and his wife and child remain At her sisters.
II may be interesting TO state that In the effort
to kill himself he first, with his pocket-knife cut
and then stuck the knife into the side Of his neck
lust anterior and touching tho carotid artery,
barely escaping instantaneous death, and left the
knife sticking there, to he drawn out by one oi
the policeman.
Insanity seems to be somewhat hereditary In
the family, as the brother Of the above, q despe.
rate lunatlc, shot himself at Lynchburg, virginia,
the day after the surrender Of Lee.
Altogether, this Ia one OF the most painful and
distressing occurrences that has ever come with.
In our knowledge. Here Ia seen a man OF a dis
tngulshed family, good intellect, refined culture
and only thirteen years ago In afiluent circuIn
