oar re.ders to an adverti•cment, In soother part of this
psper, stating thet a meeting of susscrits•rs rind
to. mbers of this association will be held on Tuesday

there will be • good attendance. The Elementary

A SISGCLIJI CAISI Or SUICIDE is reported from the
County Lunatic Asylum at Forston. One of the
patients, Charles Teach, while in his bath fastened •
handkerchief round Ms neck, and then hung himself
fromthe giehntre r. He wu found dead, the occurrence
having been reported to one of the warder., by a g/Ai ient.
th coin d was a middleured mae, and Lad been in
the insiitution for four mouths. For some tune he —ma
in a state of great mental depression. G. Symonds,
F.sq., coroner for the di,triet, held an-inquest on Thurs-
day afternoon, and the jury found that dtestased Lad
oeuirnitied suicide while insane.
CONIC CONCIRT.—" The great Vance" and his eon-
oert party gave an entertainment at the Town-hall, on
Monday evening, with the utmost success. The room
was crowded, and the laughter and applause were of
the heartiest rharacter. Vance is exceedingly clever in
his particular line, and hi,' Coadjutors did not lack
ability or • fforts to Metre. At the Fame time it wee
not exactly the sort of entertainment for unrestreed
commendation—it wits too stronzly alined with mu:de-
tail laxities for our country manners. There h always
genuine fun enough to lat made without detect:dim/ to
coarseness in word or mature, and we feel sure ix would
be more satisfactory to endiences in the previews if
even the debatable ground between whet should of
should not he pre.ented were avoided. Of cows. "to
the pure all things are pare;" but they are such an
excruciatingly small co sipany that it wouldn't pay
Vance or anybody else to so about for their patronage;
therefore let us keep improper buggeatioas as far away
as we can Iron all.
