Shocking Tragedy In North Andover A Yonng Man Mboota a Girl and Kills Himself. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Boston, March 25. A terrible tragedy oc curred at North Andover last night. It seems that a young man named Pine has been a suitor ot a girl named Hubbard, wbb has rejected his addresses. 60 much was be affected by this tbat be has attempted once or twice to take bis own life. On Saturday last he took a dose of laudanum, but remedies were administered that saved him. The fact tbat the parties lived la the same bouse brought them frequently in contact, and late last evening he went to a room In that part of the house occupied by her family, and asked ber to take a walk with him. This the positively declined to do, when he drew a revolver und threatened to kill her If she didn't. She fled from the room, leaving him there. He then threatened to kill himself, and, fearing tbat he would do it, she opened the door which ebe bad closed behind her to look in and see what be was doing. As she did so he shot at ber, and tho ball took effect in ber neck, inflicting a wound which It is feared will prove iutal. He then discharged another barrel of tke revolver, aiming at bis own bead, killing himself almost Immediately. Drs. Davit, of North Andover, and Lamb, of Lawrencer were called to attend the girl, but there is little hope of ber lecovery. FOREIGN. By Atlantic Cable.' The Transatlantic Mail.

A Canadian Expresses his Opinion. Correspondence Qui beo froixiier. I have often heard It said that in the United States every man was a politician. I cannot agree with this statement. True, It is an im mense republic, with unrestricted manhood suffrage; yet many ot tbe Urot men you meet refuse altogether to mix themselves up lu poll tlcal sqnabble?. The world over, politicians are too much alike too often selaah, grasping, unscrupulous and hence we find that many men whose intelligence and social position should give them a commanding place in th councils of tbe nation, cut themselves entirely adiilt from all political associations. On the street, in tbe bar room, the counting house, the railway car?, tbe dangs or mibdolngs of Grant, Jobnton, fceward, etc, are just now always being canvassed, but this is only one phase ef New York society. Tbe result ot all tbls political wire-pulling It often most lamentable. One Instance of this came under my observation. Tbere is living in last Twenty -ninth street a certain Dr. John Grlscom, wuo has written more ou prisons and hyetenetban perhaps any otber person in the world. In the S.ates be is recognized as one of tbe first authorities upon scienttUc subjects. For years be bas been President or Vice-President of different scientific societies. In face, be Is a man devoted heart aud soul to the cause ot science. I bave at tbls moment bsrore me one of bis works "An E;eay on Prison Hygiene" prepared by request of the Executive Committee, which does nonor to the head end heart of the author. It diplays not only his scholarly attainments and thoughtful ness, but establishes his philanthropy as well. Yet this eminent man was deprived of his posi tion on some of the boards (I forget which) simply by reason of political intrigues against blm. Analogous cases in Canada are rare, and let ns hope tbat theyj may ever remain so. Dr. Griscom's loss was comparatively very little, but tbat of the public very great.
