SUICIDE BY AN IARTIiT.—On Thursday evening
Mr. Sender, a landscape painter, residing at 274, Strand,
was Playing a game of cards at his sister-in-law's, next
door, when he suddenly rose from the table, and begged
to be excused for a short time, as he had souse business
to execute et home. He then left the house promising
to return in a few minutes. As he stayed away longer
than was expected, a messenger was sent for him, who,
finding his bedroom locked, looked through the key
hole, when he saw deceased suspended from a hook in
the ceiling. The door was instantly burst open, and
surgical aid obtained, but deceased wits beyond human
aid, as the vital spark had fled. No cause can be assigned
for the rash act, as deceased was in comfortable circum-
stances, and had that day finished a beautiful landscape.
He was only thirty, and bas left a wife and two children
to bewail his awful and untimely death.
Mr. Yates had an interyiew with Earl Grey interbit
at On Ocdouitll-914fat.
