From the Baltimore Sum eSltox and KicMvs. Although the followingiiarrativo nmj fce true in every essential particular, and the Incident still fresh in the memory of many ■t»ho live and were eye witnesses of the fact, yet we deem it proper (for certain reasons) to suppress the real names of the parties.— Our hero, whom we. will term Peter Merre dy, was an honest 'm : an,.and esteemed as a most valuable member- of society. Among Peter’s must intimate BSSOciates. wns Samuel Williams, who had served the probation of apprenticeship in the same extensive estab lishment, and though he differed from Peter in still remaining unmarried, yet the conge hiality of their pursuits'and dispositions while boys, even now triumphed over the petty Jealousies arid puerile animosities of rival men, anrl they were the same hearty friends and hail companions of old. But what was more and quite remarkable, not being relatives, they resembled each other so'much that they were frequently annoyed by salutations and messages, which puzzled them no little to ascertain their-own identi ty. . ... y The. twofriends met ono day in market, (Marsh Market,) one, with a basket on his arm in search of provisions, (his good wife being on a visit to her parents in the- coun try,) and the other- enjoying an early stroll, and perhaps occasionally glancing (who can help.it?) at the pretty faces a pedestrian, is doomed to cncounter.in this dangerous city. ■“. How are you, Sam?” "How are you, Peter?” said the friends, .shaking each other .cordially by the hand. “Well, Sara, I suppose you are looking out for another boarding house, and .came hitherto see who provided the best things for the table. You’d better get a wife,” said Peter. . - - ' • “Trad,.Peter said Samuel;, “1 om reeolv rcd to move mj lodgings closer - fo my place .of business—and perhaps determined to get ■ a wife the firstopporfunity, also.” “Ah! I’jnglad we met, if such is the' cas£; | for t received a note last night from an ac ■ quaintance, a widow, (who has a charming : .daughter,) requesting me to send her a board er or so; 1 have the noterfirmy hat, here it is—take it,-Sam—you’ll be suited exactly; good bye.” The friends parted, the one pushing through the crowd to stall No. -r-, for good mutton, and the other striding over the .bridge towards home, .his mind fully made-up tq take Peter’s advice. It was Saturday, and Samuel deferred reading the riofe till Sundar. It would then be time enough to know where he could be accommodated, and during his ■ customary.; Sabbath stroll he might reconoifre the pre mises, preparatory to his removal tijefollow- Ing day. Sunday came, but when-Samuel opened his note, he laughed outright to find it from Peter’s wife, urging him to come and bring her home. He was amused at the mistake of his friend, and set but for his residence to get the right address and return the family epistle. But on his arrival nt the door he j learned that Peter had already departed for the country, and somewhat disappointed, he continued his walk until he was beyond the city in the direction of Canton; ("Here the thread of our story is necessarily broken, but it will be fully explained in the sequel.]] Peter had been summoned to .the country by a messenger stating that his spouse was taken suddenly ill. He remained several days with her, until she grew better, and then set out alone for. the, city to prepare an easy conveyance to conduct her' home the following'day, .“What has'been the matter,-here?’* re quired Peter of a little black, urchin who stood staring at . some stains of blood in'the road, near the edge of the city. ; ,; "Here’s the place where the dead man was found, ’’ replied the boy, “What man?” asked Peter, pausing. “His name Piter said the boy. “Peter what?” continued Peter, knowim very well fherd wr c,i « M.o.nng ■ire more Peter’s than one in the city. ' , *ll don’t know tyhat.f* said the little urch in, staring. .Peter continued his route, quite unconcerned at the catastrophe, aware that such bccur.iVpcesC.ijaily transpire in large ci .tiea, He next inet an hcaded man, . who informed him.that a man had there been found dea°d, supposed to ;have ruptured a blood vessel; that ah inquest-had been held, and the .verdict of “visitation of God,” re turned. .... “What was his name?” asked Peter, as. they separated. . ■ i. .. .. “Merredy,” replied the .old man, and passed on. Peter'looked down in a deep study, as, ho walked along.’ "Merredy—. ! Peter,” aaliioiJaized he, “one says his name was" Peter, and the' other Mefredj:--that make's Petef that’s'my name.
