AN EXCITING SITUATIoN,-A little scene oc-
CURED at the Office of the City Hotel yesterday
noon. which for time looked rather tragic. A
young man from Boston had been stopping at
the house for few days, and yesterday morn
ing ne showed signs of insanity, which were
noticed by several. After dinner he went into
the Office and approaching a number of COM
merclal travellers, informed them that if they
wanted to see what was in his pockets to just
step out, intimating that they had been trying
10 plcK his pockets. He made several such re-
marks, when Mr.. Martin, the proprietor. told
MN that no one wished to iDjure him, and he
gradually Quilted down. After becoming calm
he took loaded revolver from his pocket and
told Mr.. Martin that he had just purchased it
down town to protect himself, and he calcu-
lated to use it too. The pistol was at last taken
from him and he paid his bill and departed.
He was finely dressed and is connected with a
large commercial house in B ,ston, and is prob
ably getting over spree.
