Her dead body was discovered by her young husband in her room, at prt- rate boarding-bouse. He had left her the evening before alive and apparent-ly happy.

Death had taken place during the night, and bad resulted from poison, self administered with suicidal intent. This we made evident by two totter left by the unfortunate woman. One was written in red pencil, and addressed To the Public," and made tbo following astonishing disclosure 'The public Is anxious to hear my last words. Perhaps there are not many things tossy, except to relieve the anxiety, I suppose. I make this statement the truth of which Is unquestionable, to the many who do not know It as a tact I assert that the man bearing the nam of my husband bar never bad the connection with me of which he 1 accused.

few month ago, to the horror of her parents and a wide droleof friends, it was discovered that she would short ly become a mother. Ferssed by her parents she said her seducer was Mr. Henri Favrot, an Intimate friend of the family and a gentleman who had been assiduous in hi attentions to her. Mr. Favrot was called upon by relatlvos of Miss Dubroca aud indignantly denied the charge, aud when confronted with the young woman, persisted in this denial She was equally persistent In charging that be was the cause of her condition, and to says the honor of the family he finally consented to marry hor.

Mr. Favrot said that although he had given hi name to the young lady, to shield her from public dishonor and givepar-renlaged to her child, still bo would not Jive under the same roof with her, wfll support her and care for her," said he to her friends, "but I will never live with her."

Be often visited his wife, took her out sometimes for a walk, and when he returned to Rampart street he parted with her with a simple "Good night," and went to bis room uptown. Last evening he took her out lor a promenade, accompanied her to her boarding-house and remained there' nu- til o'clock.

Tbu tigress has been the scourge of th? neighborhood of Cbakrata for the last tea year, and ber victim have Innumerable. On on occasion the seized oneof anumber of forester who war sleeping together' In a hut earned hint off, aad deliberately made him over to her cub to play with, whUe she protected their innocent gambols from being, disturbed. Hi companions were eventually, forced to take refug in a tree from her savage attacks. Here they witnessed the following ghastly tragedy The tigress went back and stood over the prostrate form of her victim and purred In a catlike aud aelf-coro-pltcent way to her cubs, who were romping about and rolling over the appareutly liloless body.

She then lay down a few yard off, and with blinking eyes watched the gambol of her young progeny. In a few moments the man sat np and tried to beat the young brutes off. They were too young to hold him down, so he made a desperate attempt to shako himself free, and started off at a rutt but before he had gone twenty yards the tigress bounded out aud brought bim back to her cubs. Once more1 the doomed wretch had to defend himself over again from their playful attacks. He made renewed attempt to regain hi freedom, but was seised by th old tigress and brought Hack each time before he had gone many yards, His groans and cries for help were heart- rendipg; but the men onthetree were paralUed with fear and unite, unable to move.

At last the tigress herself joined in the gambol of her cubs, and the wretched man was thrown about and totted over her head exactly as many of us have seen our domestic eat throw rati and mice about beginning to feed on them. Th man's effort at escape grew feebler. For th last tune ttiey saw him try to get away on his bands and knees toward a large fig tree, with the cubs clinging to his llinba This final attempt wu a futile as the rest. The tigress brought bim back once again, and then held him down under her forepaw and deliberately began her living meal before their eyes. It was this formidable beast that the joung Cooper's Hill officer and a stu dent attacked on foot They were working up her trail fifteen yards apart, when suddenly Mr.

Osmaston heard bis younger companion groan, and turning round taw him borne to the ground by the tigress. Mr. Os maston fortunately succeeded in shooting her through the spine, and a sec ond ball stopped her in mid spring. Meantime bis companion rolled over the bill, and was eventually discovered insensible a few feet away from bis terrible assailant. He it terribly maul ed, and now lies at the Cbakrata Hospital where hopes of bis recovery are entertained.

We, therefore, take liberty ol aettlng out the above' reason for a further continu ance in your present position as presb rdentpf the college, and of appealing 10 yoa aurrenaer any aspiranoni yon may have for the ofileeof Govern or by declining a further candidacy for the place. We appreciate the fact that you have remained here at a pecu niary sacrifice to yourself; that yon have declined templing offer of a large advance of salary from other places.
