EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—SHIELDS, MONDAY.
—A good deal of excitement has been caused by the extra-
ordinary suicide of a young man named Thomas Reed, a
chemist, belonging to South Shields, which took place yes-
terday. The unfortunate man took a small boat at the low
part of the town, and, after giving the man to whom the
boat belonged a shilling, he pulled out into the middle of
the stream, and then shouted—" Good bye." He took the
boat over the bar out to sea, and, whi'e in twelve fathoms
water, he was observed by some men in the steamboat

mast high, as if for mourning. He shouted to the steam-
boat men, whose suspicions that there was something wrong
with him had been aroused, and they were making towards
him with their boat. But before they could reach him, he
leaped from the boat's gunwale into the sea, having
