FREDERICKSBURG June s.. Never .
did more painful duty dey0lye upon us,
than HAT we have now ia perform, in an
nouncing The death oi Mr. JOHN
SHUTE, of The house of Mark and Shut,
otthis place.-The circumstances attend
ing the death Of this unfortunate youth
are truly distressing. On Monday NOR
ming, about 9o'clock, after conversing in
his usual cheerful manuer with his friends,
he left his store without being observed
by his brother who resided with him. Sc
yerai hours elapsed before any umeasiness
was tell "a 10 what had become of him
bat lis usual long absence began now to
excite surprise and TO suggest some fears
IN the mind of his brother. a search
was Immediately commenced upon the
premises, and enquiry made of some of
the citizens OF the town, but without tef-
feet. The hour of dinner AT length arriv-
ed and past, and no tidingS Of him hav-
ing been yet received, his absence began
to create some notwithstanding OF his
fate, more especially DIS his watch aud the
hat he usually wore when from home,
were discovered 70 be in the house. A.
mother search was BOW made in aud about
the adjoining huilding., when, horrible to
relate, about 4 O'Clock, he was found in
his warehouse suspended bv the neck
from one OF lis beams lie bad effected his
purpose by tying two liandkerchiefs toge-
Their, and fastening one end thereof 10
sick, which was then passed through
hole IN The beam; with the other he
made the fatal moose, amt having assembled
a staircase few steps, threw himself in
10 the arms at dcaIh
What could have lei this unhappy
youth TO commit this rash act, mus re-
main unknown, as there is mol cVen
ground tor conjecture. Exemplary ia
