An Old Man Determined to Die
A Double Barreled Shotgun
Does the Work.

At 5 o'clock Wednesday morning, Michael
Pepine, aged 60 years and a native of FraDce,
while laboring under fit of temporary in
sanity, shot and MORALLY wounded himself
with shotgun, at his residence, corner Bur-
gundy and Bartholomew streets.
The particulars of the case are about as
follows: 1t appears that recently Pepine has
lost several relatives to whom he was very
much attached; this proved upon his mind to
such an extent that his reason left him.
On Wednesday morning at the above stated
hour, he first took large horse-pistol and was
about to commit the deed with that weapon.
but in adjusting the trigger it accident ally
went off, the ball passing through his cham
Der door.
Being thus far foiled, Pepine determined
to make sure of it, and taking his double
barreled .shotgun he deliberately placed the
butt upon the floor and tbs muzze under his
chin and with his toes pulled the trigger,
discharging the entire load into his neck and
mangling his whole face horribly.
When assistance came Pepine was lying
upon the floor, bathed in his blood, and the
CHASTITY wound gaping open presented sight
most revolving in its aspect. The wound was
examined by a physician, and pronounced
fatal, although up to ?. NJ. Pepine had not
died.

AT THE STILL.

Be it the bog of Ireland, the wilds of Ger.
many, or the mountains of Virginia. it would
seem there is a common spirit manifested by
certain class of people to evade the revenue
laws, as much from the curious delight
they take in that fact as from a desire fol
profit.
For many years past, now and again, there
crops up an illicit distillery hidden away
sometimes high up in some tenement house,
again back in the crowded purlieus of court.
yard. The capacity of these stills as rule
is extremely limited, but few of them going
beyond barrel day, but once in while a
large one is discovered, evidently the property
of those well-to-do.
Yesterday, after having their suspicious
aroused for some time as to the business 60
ing on in brick building, lob Barracks
street, the Internal Revenue officers deter
mined to watch the place, when they were
rewarded by discovering still in full opera
ton. 1t was in a comparatively small room,
and could not turn out more than one barrel
day, but this would give profit of about
three hundred dollars per week. A seizure
was at once made and keeper put over the
place,
