follows. The unfortunate gentleman, who was 72 years of
age, had been often heard to say that when his property was all
gone he Would shoot himseif; yesterday morning, at breakfast
time, his wife remarked to him that the gloominess of the
day was enough to snake any one destroy themsetves; of that
'
he took no notice, but at ten o'clock retired to his dressing-
room, about half an hour after which his wife heard a very
heavy fall, and on going up stairs to see the cause, discovered
the deceased lying at full length at the entrance of the bed-room,
his head literally shattered to pieces; in his right.hanct he held
