A FATAL VALENTINE.—A YOUNG WOMAN named Margaret Craig, who lived as a servant in a house in Broadway, on Monday afternoon received a valentine which affected her so fatally that she procured a large dose of laudanum, and retired to her bed-room, where she took unusual pains in arranging and curling her hair, as if for a ball, and having finished this part of her toilet, she washed her entire person, as is done to dead bodies preparatory to the grave clothes being put on them. She then went into bed, and swallowed the contents of a large phial of laudanum, which caused her death this morning.—N. Y. Jour. of Com.
