SHOCKING AFFAIRS.

A shocking affair is reported from the neighborhood of Tavistock. The victims are Mary Peardon a young woman aged 17,. residing with her father, a farmer at feed stock, between Tavistock and Launceston, and a young man named Richard Hoar, aged 22, son of a publican, living at Mil ton Abbot. The parties were engaged to be married, but in consequence of the young man speaking foolishly regarding her moral character, the father of the girl broke off the match. Hoar took this most seriously, and, Jan. 17th. he went to the farm to see the girl, but slie refused to resume their former engagement. Thereupon Hoar proceeded into Tavistock and purchased a pair of pistols, some small shot, and powder. Returning to the farm and walking in at the doorway of the kitchen, he perceived Miss Peardon, whom he directed to follow him into the parlour. Repeating his former ques tions, and receiving an answer still in the negative, he at once, and without the manifestation of the slightest hesitation, drew the two pistols he liad ah-eady charged with shot and, presenting the barrel one to the girl's head, fired. She received the charge in the left cheek, owing probably to her rasing her head and it .way as soon as she saw the mstol'leyelied at her. . With the second pistol the young man shot himself, but ***teither wound was fatal. The girl ran into' an-adjoining rdoin and was there found by her: relatives. The left side of her face ' is‘ terribly injured, but her wounds are not likely to prove fatal. The mail staggered from the parlour into the farm yard, and then fell. When picked up he Recovered 'consciousness, and ex claimed, ‘ ‘ Bury me with Polly ; I did it for love.”- 'The shot, it was found, had taken in the throat, and he died from the! .effects*.of the wound in' a few days. Miss Peardon w.ill, in all’ pro bability, recover, though she was severely lacerated-on the-left cheek’ and has lost two teeth. The affair has created the utmost excitement in the town, where both parties were well known and respected. .51 UOH Vr. -

A French correspondent writes: —“A crime; of imost cold-blooded, description, which has already resulted in the death of two persons, and- is likely to involve the death of a third victim, was committed on Sunday Dec. 29, at the village of Frevent, in the department of the Pas de Calais. About a year ago a young man named Collin came to Frevent, and set up in business as a fdyer, After he had been there "a few weeks he fell in love with a girl who at first refused to marry him, but ultimately did so at the instance of her family,.. The marriage, as might, be ex pected under the’hircumstarices, proved a very unhappy one, r and separation was agreed upon, McfmePOdllia going back to ..live with her parents, and Collin himself -returning-to Paris- • Upon the morning of Sunday last Collin arrived at Frevent, and t: weiit' ”tb the house -'of his father-in-law, who. is a wool .merchant, and employs several'workmen. Collins rushed into a workshop where is wife, her sister, and a young man where at .work ; and his wife having escaped by another door, he fell upon her sister and the young man with a sword which he had concealed under his coat. The young man. was.his first victim, being run through the body ; and he then pursued his sister-in-law, a girl of 17, into the street and killed her. He next attacked her brother,: who had just come back to the house, and injured him so severely that his. life is despaired of. Collin then rati off in the direction of a large wood, situated about two miles from Fre vent, threatening to murder any one who attempted'ito; interfere with him. The wood was surrounded by the gendarmes and some of the inhabitants, and Collin was captured and taken.to St. Pol, where he has already undergone a preliminary examination.

LADY GAMBLERS.

Bachaumont relates how a lady of rank, who has died recently in the fashionable quarter of-'the Are de-Triomphe, once met with a very curious adventure. She was an excellent card player, and knew every game human ingenuity had ever imagined. One day during her travels she stopped at

a certain hotel hotel where a Russian lady,

, . that passion for gambling inherent in •-‘hfer 'nation P was staying. The Russian was anxious to try her luck against the . French lady, and wrote asking to be per mitted to play a few games at cards with her. The request was granted, and at nine in the evening the two sat down to a game at “ piquet.The next morning at sun rise Madame de X , the French lady, had won more money than the mines in Ural had produced during the last quarter of a century for the revenues of her opponent..,,, The Russian made one desperate effort to retrieve her fallen for tqnej and < being unsuccessful, rose from the table. See told Madame de X that she had lost more than she possessed, but yet, anxious: to pay her debts ■ of honor, she would instruct her steward to hand over, the title deeds of her estate and mines.'' Madame de X smiled, and declared she would not be outdone by courtesy by such a charming opponent. She had, however, won, and requested the t Russian lady' to have her own way for * ofh'e latter bowed as if willing to consent to any terms her conqueror might impose, and Madame de X sent for a priest and a.lawyer. When they arrived the lady made her antagonist bind herself _*by solemn oath... never again to touch a iHcard or risk any money at games of or hazard, and the lawyer drew up a deed by which the Russian undertook to pay an annual sum of £4OO to the for-

/tunate. , French lady. This amount, 1 v always punctually . paid, J-was invariably distributed among the poor, who called it .the Queen of Spades Bounty,” while .the ‘•‘Russian'kept her promise religiously, as if to show that after all there was some ',} qvirjme in the, oaths of dicers, and that gam blers can be reformed without being de prived of the money they once loved to •risk : as'hostages to fortune.

A Judgment. —Two Germans, fresh from Cincinnati, visited New York, and one, well acquainted, invited his friend to Delmonico’s where a dinner for two and a bottle of wine were ordered. The place and fare was praised until the bill for lldols. were presented. This they con sidered an extortion. They paid, however, and while walking down Broadway the I .exmte^'''^ermah7'begaii !
