MURDER AND SUICIDE BY A GOVERNESS. A terrible drama was enacted on Monday morning at the town of Nogent-sur-Marne, near Paris. A governess named Leboeuf, residing there, had been deserted by her lover, named Derail, who was employed at the Ministry of Finance, and hearing that he was engaged to be married, she wrote to him making an appointment for Sunday last, in order that she might see him once more.

The concierge hearing the report hastened in a state of great alarm to the room, and found the murderess ritandina before the body., On seeing her the governess exclaimed :—" I have killed my lover who meant to desert me. Go and fetch the police." The concierge immediately went down- , stairs calling for help, and when she returned to the apartment accompanied by some neighbours, a second report was heard.

People who talk so much of killing do nothing.'
