lie Saw a Robin.

When a gray haired man living on
the Cass farm came down town yes
terday and reported that he had seen
a robin flying among the trees, and
added that spring must be near, he
told the solemn truth. He wouldn't
have lied about it for ten thousand
dollars, and yet what was his reward?
AS he entered cigar store he said
"Well, I'm ahead of you folks. I
saw robin as came down."
The four men seated around the
stove smiled Gendish smiles, and
stuck up their noses and turned their
heads away.
Don't you believe it?' asked the
good man.
"You are insaner' they shouted in
chorus. "Do you think we are fools
or infants?'
'But I did see ore"
And then they felt his head, asked
him to run out his tongue, tried to
count his pulse, and he went away
with a heavy heart. He went into q
lawyers Office, and the lawyers
greeting was so kind that the hon
est hearted citizen said:
"Well, I saw a robin this morn
ing" !
The lawyers countenance fell. He
tried to occupy all the chairs in the
office with his feet, and after long
time he inquired:
"You have never fully recovered

The lawyer sighed, lit his cigar,
and as he took up his pen he said to
himself:

when he met merchant, who slap

"It's only few days away" re-
piled the citizen.
"OnIy a few days looming right

There was a man who had perhaps
seen the same identical bird, and the
truthful citizen was encouraged to
say;
Coming down this morning saw
my first robin.'
The merchant took him by the
arm, led him into doorway, and
earnestly said:

BOSTON, Dec. 22-James A. Coe, the we'll
known Boston forger, who was sentenced to
to the state prison in September, 1874, for q
term of eight years, committed suicide tyester-
day afternoon, by taking poison. He was em-
ployed in the Office of the Tucker Manufactur-
ing Company to do the writing of the firm,
and was about his usual work until O'Clock,
when it was discovered that he had taken
muratic acid and Paris green, for the purpose
of killing himself. He was removed at once to
the prison hospital and every attention was
shown the unfortunate man by the physicians,
but he died at an early hour this morning from
the effects of the poison. Coe had, as will be
seen, served two years of his term. His wife
died of spoplexy at No. 1856 Third street, South
Boston, on Tuesday last and her death SO af-
fscted him that he said he no longer desired to
live. A fit of melancholy and depression
which followed led to the act by which he took
his own life.
