A CURIOUS CASE OF SUICIDE.

A Young Girl Kills Herself Because a
Fortune Teller Told Her She would be
Unhappy.
Amelia Mag, one of the prettiest bellies
of Bridesburg, says Philadelphia special
of the 9TH inst. to the New York World,
cut her throat and killed herself on the
afternoon of the 9th, in the kitchen of her
mothers house, because a wandering for
tune teller had prophesied for her long
and unlucky married life with a man she
could not love. The pretty victim of this
singular tragedy has had hosts of suitors.
She was only % years old, and had lived
all her life with her mother and brother
the latter keeping prosperous tavern.
She was s0ciable, merry, intelligent girl.
and had never PASSED a gloomy day in
her life until the shadow of the fortune
teller fell across her path. "a purer girl
never lived" said member of the Luthe-
ran Church after the tragedy. She kept
her lovers all at an equal distance and
her heart to herself. About a month ago
there wandered into Bridesburg a little
old Dutcbman, lean, shriveled and sharp
eyed, who stopped at the United States
arsenal and proclaimed himself a fortune
teller. He wandered about, aud finding
Mary Frltch and Amelia Mag at the
loihieI mousse, proposed 10 tell their for
tunes. "YOu were born unlucky," he
said to Amelia, looking at her hand, ''and
you will be unlucky until you die. You
Will bring evil upon those about. You
must not give presents because they
carry bad luck with them, nor accept
presents of Others" The fortune-teller
referred to Amelia's past with sufficient
accuracy in detail to frighten the young
girl. and finally she asked him: "Will |
marry" Yes" replied the fortune
teller. "1ou will marry one you are not
in love with, and you are fated to five
with him long, long time.v
The gTl became very much depressed.
and from that time never saw another
happy moment.
