A Queer Story. A foreign correspondent of the Pea- Doby s Chronicle, New York, gives an account of some singular results from a broken pain of glass in Pnri. He says: . A question now universally asked in every society in Paris is—“ Have you seen the broken This refers to an accident of a very extra oidinary nature, which occurred in the Huede la Moliere, a hoot maker in that stpPT lias had for tune “ thrust upon him” cart knocking against his shop window. Rather late at night, a restive horse hacked a cart against the iron shut ters of the shopfront, with such force that a pane of plate glass immediate ly behind the part struck v. as cracked into thousands of splinters. M. Mo licre’s first care was to secure tile ad dress ofthe owner ofthe horse and oait, and in the morning he was about to send for a glazier, whoso hill he v\ou!d have charged to the person re sponsible for the trespass upon his properly; hut this window was crack ed in such a manner as no window ever was before, and M. Moliere oh-! served that every passer by stopped Jo look at it, and exclaimed, “ How curious !(’ “How extraordinary.”^— During the whole day a crowd whs collected in front of the house. It then occurred to M. Moliere that since his broken window appeared to pos sess such attractions for the public, it might answer his purpose to make the public pay for the, gratification of their cm i mity. Accordingly he put up his outside shutter and charged one franc per head for admission to the exhibition, and in a few hours the fume of it spread far and wide. Not a single particle ofthe glass had fallen out, hut the cracks radiating from the centre with a wonderful regu arity are so numerous that the pane pre sents the appearance of a gigantic cobweb. Seen from llio interior of a shop by gas light, it presents the pris matic colors with extraordinary bril liancy. and may he compared to a peacock s tail. A speculator has of fered the enormous sum of 4000f. for the purchase of the fragile property, iind theolfor lias been refused. M. Moliere calculates that he shall re ceive that sum from Parisians alone, and afterwards the pane may be re mot ed in its iron Irame, and carried ro m LAW .NOTICE. tfXHE subscribers have formed a copartnership in the practice of Law.
