'What's in the wind now, Gus?'
I had observed for some days past
my friend, Augustus Garnet, Esq., had
appeared abnormally absent and pre

oblivious of business, at luncheon des

met him on Broadway, in his hours of

with a qiiiver of emotion in my voice,

shook it so energi ically that between

unable to proceed for the quaver in my

'That's the trouble, John. I don't

•—One of the most touching and
dreadful domestic tragediee,ever enact
ed occurred about a week, ago near
Navasota, Grimes county, Texas. In
the midst of a neighborhood infested
with robbers, resided Mr. and Mre.
Goodrich, a tender and affectionate
couple? One night, feeling assured she
heard burglars in the house, Mre.
Goodrich aroused her husband, who,
arming himself with pistol and bowie
knife, went in pursuit. In the dark•
ness he struck one who fled outside.
Another at the same time pegged him
and sought refuge in the house. In
order to intercept him, Mr. Goodrich
passed around outside the house to his
bed room window which he knew was
raised, and out of which ho expected
the burglar to issue. Meanwhiie l Mrs.
Goodrich, suffering from faintness
(probably superinduced by the chloro
form the burglars had with them)
arose from the bed where her husband
had left her, and groped her way
through the thick darkness to the win
dow, fur air. At that very moment
her armed and excited husband reach
ed the sill from the outside. Seeing
the obscure outlines of a human form
there, the wretched husband mistook
them for those of the second burglar,
and with knife and pistol immediately
began an attack whose horrors pass
conception when it is remembered that
it was directed against the form of his
wife, between whose self and him ex
isted such faithful arid tender love.
This discovery of the mistake came
all too late. The ill fatted woman died
with her arms around the neck of the
worse-fated man, breathing into his
ear, with her last quivering accents,
whispers of forgiveness, fidelity and
love. ,
SN Tllll Wrik.--The Comer
on (Mo.) Observer relates the follow
ing :
A few mornings since, little Effie, a
bright-eyed, curly hended live-year o!d,
belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Parish,
living on Main street just south of
Thomas ..tr. Parry's livery stable, took
a 'plunge' bath that came near result
ing !rattily. There is a deep well on
the plan., holding ildlrne fourteen feet
of water. It has no curb, and the
water is drawn by means of a rope.
Effie had been watching Mr. Thomas
drawing water from the well in a
bucket, which she called a 'kettle.'
The rope broke and the kettle went ,to
the bottom. This troubled the little
one, and, afterward, in peering into
the well, looking for the bucket, she
lost her balance, and plunged bead first
into the well. II er mother heard her
screams as she toppled o•er, ran into
the yard, anti, happening by the merest
chance to glance into the well, saw
Etlie as she carne to the surface the
first tune. Powerless herself, she rail
for the livery stable, shouting at every
step, 'Effie's in the well I Eirie's in the
I well I' Mr Thomas was at the well
in no time, and without a rnonient's
thought as to how he was ever going
t o gel out, iditoged to, bracing intneell
as hest he coold ng mist the smooth
fwalla as he sent and reached
the water in time iii m eet Effie on her
way up the *mind tone, and of course
rescued her. As t•oon as the little one
could get water enough out and breath
enough in to speak, she said to Mr.
Thomas: 'Jack, I have found your
kettle ; it was clear dawn to the hot
tom ;' and, sure enough, she had the
rope clinched in leer little fingers.'

chill, or children as it would almost
seem proper to allude to the phenom•
enon, had, enjoyed excellent health
from her birth, nine months ago, until
within , two weeks, at which time one
exhibited signs of illness. This, how
ever, was but temporary. It recovered
and was bright and playful. Since
reaching Boston, a few don since the
other, or the other half, wadflaken sick
and died yesterday'afternoon, as already
stated. The two portions or the body
were eo intimately connected that the
death of the one rendered that of the
other inevitable. The spectacle was
equally novel, strange, and unparallel
ed. Upon one end of the body reposed
the head of the dead infant; uron the
other, that of the live one with its eyes
still bright and curious, and its lunge
in full breathing order. All that medi•
cal aid could accomplish was done,
but it was found unavailing. The
child died in the presence of its parents.
The corpse prevents the appearance of
two infants Weep/ Uparently they
escaped the 6tlfittitry siVering incident
to death, for the countenances bad the
expression of repose. The disposition
of the body is not determined upon.
Several of our physicians were de
eiroue, last evening, of having it open.
nd for examination. It is doubtful if
the parents consent. They reside in
Monroe county, Ohio, and live upon a
farm. They have other children, but
none have exhibited any unusual de
velopments. Nor can this extraordinary
departure front the laws of nature be
accounted for. In PI iladelphia, where
all the me heal &lone undertook to
solve the problem, nothing whatever
was brought to light. The child was
looked upon with amazement and in
terest, but all attempts to account for
its existence were futile. It is regard
ed as more of a curiosity than• the
Siamese twins, and most certainly ,the
spectacle was more pleasurable to the
eye. The child was shortly to have
been exhibited to the public, and would
doubtless here, as elsewhere, have at
tracted throngs of isitors. The pa•
rents were especially devoted to the little
marvel, and their sorrow is grievous.--

An Ovation to the Emperor Napoleon
An interesting oceurronce took place
