suicide under romantic circumstances. He
was only about % years of age, and was
descended from q high Spanish family. He
started life in a New York banking house,
but returned to New Mexico and engaged
in sheep culture. He controlled no less
than 1000 sheep in his own country.
During sojourn in Denver he became en-
gagged to Miss Otero; and one evening in
November, being ut a seance with Foster,
the medium, the latter told him he would
come to a violent death. 1t proved so sure
enough. Miss Otero Tilted him, and he
blew out his brains.

r. B. McBrum, living at SO Parsons street,
gave birth to pair of twins-a boy and a
girl. The surprise of the parents can be
| imagined when, On surveying the party,
| the nurse held up the tiny pair of infants
| in the palm of one of her hands. They
were soon after weighed, and the aggregate
avoirdupois of the twins was three pounds
and four ounces, one of the pair weighing
one pound eight ounces, and the other
weighing one pound twelve ounces. They
were less than eight inches long, and per-
| fectly formed. A bed was made for them,
which consisted of minute basket filled
with cotton-batting, and clothing had to be
| irnprovised for the strangers, that which in
expectancy had been made up proving d
| world to wide for their little limbs Some
doubt was expressed by the physician who
attended the mother, as to whether they
| would live. but up TO this morning they are
not only alive, but are lively, bright, and
wide awake, and claim place in this big
sphere as well as their own immediate
brothers and sisters, Of whom there are
several in the family, grown up.
