A Northern SenIlnlenral suicide.

Angelina Paollagga, a beautiful
girl, nineteen years old, soprano
singer at st. Columbia's Roman
Catholic church, New York, last
Sunday, committed suicide by TAX
ing bitter oil of almond. She and
Joseph Haus, tenor of the same
choir, were lovers, but her mother
objected and forbade the visits.
The usual clandestine meetings
ensued, and last Saturday the moth
er learned that an elopement had
been planned, and when her daugh-
ter went to bed hal night refused
to give her the usual goodnight
kiss, and she remained awake all
night weeping. Her mother rising
next morning, found her daughter
dead in the bed. The father of the
young lady was an officer in the
French government in Algeirs, and
afterwards Consul at st. Thomas.
Her musical talent was SO great as
to give promise that she would be
a great singer,

The habit of drinking blood is
becoming so general among the
better classes that it is proper to
warn our readers of the fact that a
man who drinks more than three
beer glasSfuls of blood at q time
will probably go blind. This inter
esting fact has just been brought
to light by the experience of a
"Short, well-built, pallid-looking
man, who spoke German with a
French accent" and who recently
drank three such draughtS of blood
with this result at the fashionable
slaughter-house of the Brothers
Lowenstein, on John street, near
Livingston.
Blood-drinking goes on at this
popular resort like soda-water
drinking elsewhere. Between the
hours Of 2 and 4 o'clock almost any
afternoon the curious visitors may
observe many handsomely dressed
ladies and others enter the cleanly,
well-kept establishment in question,
and waiting, glass in hand, for a
draught of crimson elixir yet warm
from the throat of some healthy
bullock. Just as soon as the neck
of the animal is severed by one
rapid slash of the "Schochets ("
long blade, glass after glass is held
to the spouting veins and quickly
handed to the inyalids, who quaff
the red cream with evident signs of
pleasure, and depart their several
ways. ladies are always sure of
courteous treatment at the slaugh-
ter-house, which in great measure
accounts for the absence Of timidity
noticeable among women blood
drinkers.
