MIPLE SUICIDE.  The village of Le Vesinet, a popular Parisian I resort, near St. Germaius, has beeu aroused from its normal tranquility by a triple suicide of an extraordinary and almost fantastic character. 'three maiden ladies' named Muria, Celine, and Caroliue Cuvellier, are the victims. they iirst settled in the village eighteen months ago, in a two-storied house, with a back garden overrun with weeds. The village gossip went that they had lost their joint lovtune through lavish expenditure and the collapse of Pauainas, of which stock they were very large holders. They cannot have been altogether peuuiless when they came to Vesinet, for they brought a horse and trap, and day after day during the season were sem driving to the races at Lougeharups, Auteuil, and St. Oueu, where they wagered recklessly and generally lost. The youngest of the trio played the part of Cinderella. She was only thirty-live years old, the other two being forty aud forty-live. She was never seen out of doors, but stayed at home to do the menial work, which should have been done by a servaut or groom. The other morning the baker's boy rang, but without reply, and noticing that smoke was issuiug from one of the doors, ran to tell the Commisiary of police and the firemen. They found every room choked with ' smoke, a Newfoundland dog shot dead under the dining room table,and a letter to the Commissary. Upstairs was the youngest sister in her bed, burnt to ashes; in the next room the two other sisters 10dining on a sofa dead, with their clothes scorched, arid shut through the head. In the stables the horse and cat were both shot, but a goat, a cock, and two puppies had escaped. The inquest is now being held, and the latest impression seems to be, in spite of what the letter says, that the two eldest sisters murdered the third, as the podition of the body appears to iudicate as determiued struggle.

CHARLES WELLS IN COURT. ATTEMPTED EMICIDR.  The prieoner Charles Wells has made an apparent attempt to commit suicide in gaol. fie beat his head against the wall, and wounded himself sevetely on the forehead. At ihree o'clock in the atierucion a request was made to the Court for the mination of a trustee, who, in the interest of the creditors, should take possession of the yacht Pedals Royal, and advance or borrow the money necessary to pry off the eighteen sailors forming the crew, and take steps to keep the yacht in good order. Wells at first refuted to appear before the Court, and sent word that he would only accept a bill that had been approved by the captain. At the last moment he changed his mind, and appeared before the President of the Civil Court. the adventurer came forward, escorted by two gendarmes. He walked unsteadily, and answered the questions put to him in a low tone of voice, and appeared to be quite stupefied at the shim ion in %hien he found himself. In anervor to rho President, he admitted the debts contracted by hitn at Havre and Cherbourg, but would not acknowledge the bill of the builders of the yacht. He asked for a competent person to be named as trustee, as the management of the yacht was an important matter, and, besides, there were several valuable articles atilt on board. He requested that a list of these articles should be drawn up and handad te the captain. Wells refused to state the vale:, of his yacht, bat said he had lumse:f spent 500,000 f. in repairs. M. Billeril, abirrli-1 lit, was namcd trnetee. Wells left the couii i.ccompanied by two gendarmes, and was coo v yed back to prison. It is expected that he will be extradited. lie has expresead his willingness to be extradited to England eves without the cern ei the necessary formalities.  THE PRINULd OH 1.71&
