Not long ago the authenticated case
of the suicide of a dog from grief at
being beaten by its master was chron-
icled, and now we read of a monkey de-
stroying itself under very remarkable
circumstances The facts of the case,
which are positively vouched for by a
correspondent writing to a Paris con-
temporary from Montrichard, in the de-
partment of Loir-et-Cher, are as follows:
A learned monkey, named Bertram, was
deeply attached to it's owner, who. among
other tricks, had taught it to fire a pistol
while galloping on the back of a dog.
The master of the animal, it seems,
lately met with certain domestic troubles,
and, in a detected frame of mind a few
days ago. he sent a bullet through his
head, death being instantaneous. The
monkey was present at the death of his
master, and probably took in every par
ticular. In any case, whe " - -
