PARIS.—A domestic tragedy, marked by sad and touching circinnetances, was enacted on Tuesday night at Rue Montmartre. A portion of the house, together with the shop, was rented by a money-chan2er named Pietri. Pietri's business was exceedingly prosperous, and he and his wife were devoted to each other. They had, in fact, everything to make them happy, had it not been that they were both inconsolable on account of the death of their only son. The latter, who was only 18 years of age, committed suicide during the latter part of last year, owing to disappointment in a love affair, and his mother had never recovered from the blow. On 'Newby evening, while her husband was absent from the house, Madame Pictri took a pistol and shot herself in the temple. M. Pietri, on returning home about seven o'clock, found hie wife dead. He shortly afterwards took the pistol which he found lying by her side and blew out his own brains in turn. Husband an I wife were laid side by side on the Lied on which their son ended his life lass year in the same manner.  TSUOSIES (Rupture Cure).
