Ilia wife had left him but a very short time, and, on her retur.],
not finding hint in the lower apartment, she searched the cham-
ber, where she found hint hanging to the bed-tester, apparently
dead. iVith great presence of mina she cut him down, and surgi-
cal assittance being immediately procured, he was bled and re
vived a little, and we are happy to say, there is some faint hope
of his recovery. No reason can be assigned for his attempting dif
rash act, excepting some compunctious feelings at having inipn,.
petty spent his money, when he ought to have appropriated it u
the support of his family.—Carnbridg.. lidependersl Prim
