A Triple Suicide.


An almost uneXamplcd occurrence
has taken place near Venice-a triple
suicide. Two lovers in France, and a
husband and wife i'm other countries,
have often destroyed themselves, and
there are cases in which parents, from
am excess of misery, have put an end 10
both themselves and their offspring; but
that three persons should make up their
minds to leave the world together at the
same time is without precedent. The
victims were three sisters of good fam
ny one suffering from approaching
blindness and another from epilepsy,
but the third, "a young lady of extreme
grace and beauty" who had announced
her intention Of not surviving her sis
tiers. Their last act was to place n
wreath of flowers upon their mothers
tomb. This is "a riddle of the painful
earth indeed. - ChjcdgO Hcrdid.

Mir Anson 4. Lawrence and family on returning home one evening recently, were informed that some animal of huge dimensions and of ferocious demeanor had been prowling about bis premises, but that the big dog owned by his hired man, Condon, had, after a severe conflict, succeeded in driving him back into the forest where said dog had treed him and the bowling of the dog could be distinctly heard in the distance. An son remembering the story of wild and man eating animals in the vicinity, shouldered his gun Ia breech loader) and started for the woods in the distance where he said the dog had probably run him up tree. After travelling some distance through underbrush and swamp he came to a large tree where the dog was barking. Looking up the hired man discovered the animal in the top of tree. Anson in the excitement had forgotten to load the gun, but the animal was quiet and disposed to wait. He quickly loaded and taking deliber- ate aim brought down the animal, stone dead, the first shot. In the darkness they had what appeared to be wild cat, but imagine the surprise of all when arriving at the house they found he had killed their pet cat, which they have had for years, and which $25 would not have purchased. Anson says now 1t is one of the easiest things in this world to be mistaken. This settles the fact beyond doubt that this is the same animal which gave so much trou- ble several years ago.
