Two Boys Commit Suicide.

Our Hungarian contemporaries
report a peculiarly painful case of
double suicide committed by two
shepherd boys, respectively aged
ten and twelve, near Harrisburg.
These lads were la charge of a
flock of sheep turned out 10 Craze
on some grass land AUDITING upon
the Harrisburg Arad Railway, and
had been several times reproved
by the Waterman stationed near
their pasturage ground for allow
ing their sheep to stray on the
line. On the 9th ult., just as the
Arid express came in sight, sew
eral sheep had wandered down
the embankment and were in inn
minent danger OF being crushed
by the train, from which, how
ever, they were rescued by the
timely intervention of the watch
man in question, who. as soon as
the train had passed. called up the
boys and told them that he would
have them severely punished for
neglecting their duty and his re-
peated warnings. The terrified
lads held consultation together as
to how they might escape the
threatened penalty, and speedily
came to the conclusion that the
best way of getting out of their
scrape would be to drown them
selves. One of them had just had
new hat adorned with gay
peacock's feather, given to him,
which he sold for thirteen kreuz-
ers to a little peasant girl, who
had been at play with the boys
when the dreadful menace of pun
ishment was impaired to them.
With the price of this hat he pur-
chased some small loaves, and
the three children sat down by
the Maros to hold their "Pamo-
ma" or death-feast, and this be-
ing terminated, the boys climbed
to the parapet of the Maros bridge;
their tiny playmate counted aloud,
"One, two, three" and at the
word three" they sprang, hand
in hand, into the river, sinking
