"On Thursday last, the wife of Mr. John
Culler, of this town, put a period to her own
life. The circumstances arc nearly as fol
lows: In the fore part of the day she helped
her maid'waffi, and in the,afternoon went with
her to visit her mother, nearly half a mile dis
tance ; and while there, she was observed to
tremble and look somewhat wild—her mother
afcd her to lie down on a bed which she did
and talked with her as rationally as ufrtal on
matters of religion. She appeared to be in
haste to get home, and could not be prevailed
on to stay and drink a dish of tea. She walked
home, the fun about an hour an half high, in
company with her maid, and appeared in a
great hurry. Before having taken off any of
her cloths she had worn, she told the maid she
would go and feed a pig in the barn, and ac
cordingly took a small kettle for chat purpose,
fed the pig, polled her hat and Ihawl off, and
laid them on a work-bench, then took a halter,
With a loop in the end of it, prepared for lead
ing cattle, one end of which die fattened to a
girt in the barn, and hung herfclf. When
found (which was about fun set) she hung so
low that her feet retted on the ground and her
knees were within four or five inches of it.—
There were many circumflances attending, that
proved the was insane.—A jury of inqnefl gave
in a verdict, after being out a few minutes, that
she was insane, &c. She ha's left a husband
and four children to lament the loss ofa kind
wife and tender mother. Those only who have
felt, can judge their grief.

she is now, Europe will have no peace. Till
lately, Austria was the brave and potent rival
of France. But ihe is now removed farther off.
Her territories are at the extremity of Italy ;
and, besides, her force is weakened and crippled
exceedingly. It i s the intefeft of Great Britain
that France should have a strong competitor.
What Austria was, Prussia might cafily be
made Her positions and interests arc greatly
change! She has no longer any reason to bef'
afraid of Austria, her old rival, and much rea
son to be afraid of her old ally, France. By
ceding Hanover, and the cities of Hamburg
and Lubec to Prussia, and especially by restoring
theStadtholdcr to the government of Holland,it
is yet very pnffibk that Prussia may be incited
and enaj.e- 0 cope with France. Refinement
for old disappointments would not long detain
England iron such an arrangement. Hanover,
though dear to King George, is of little value
to that kingdom. I: is not our business ro par

is obvious that Europe no longer rests on its
old foun lation of the Peace of Weft,halU in

fore its tranquillity can be secured with the
least profped of permanency: Uhleft France
should be ftrip'd of her conquers and confined
to her old territory.
