Effects of s,nresirained passion. In the
western part OF the county Of Hampshire,
"a Mrs. H. was so enraged al her husband
for gently correcting desperate and To-
corrigible sou of hers, (of whom she had
the entire charge for several years before
she had hnsband,) that she few at him
with desperation and fierceness surpass-
ing that Of the voracious animals of the
forest; but was unable TO satisfy the boil
ing ire that ranked 10 her bosom. She
then took knife for the purpose of cut
Ting her own throat-but she was discoy-
cred, and the fatal instrument taken from
her. She then took rope, unperceived,
flew to the woods, but was pursued aud
brought back. She, however, watched an
opportunity, and was gone. For some
time search was made about the house
but ia vain. At length she was discover.
cd by her husband, standing upon pre-
cipice, some distance from the house, adj
justing the rope about her neck, which
was fastened to the limb of tree. On
finding that she was seen, she instantly
swung off, but was soon cut down, and
after considerable exertion, was resnsci-
tated. Passionate people should ever
check the first impulse eof anger, when
reason will never fail tc volunteer bis SER
vices, aud still the tumultuous ocean with

HYPOcoNDRIA CURED.
The wife Of respectable farmer having
suffered much from this disease, fancied
that she should die, aud often assembled
her friends about her, 10 witness her clos

they became convinced that she labored

her husband to favor her belief about dy-

hastened to her bedside, where he found

Suicide.-An instance oil suicide OF no

Haverstraw, Rockland county. Mr. Gil

and very generally beloved, 80 years Of
age, Of ample property and a young fam
lily, put an end 10 his existence by cutting
his throat with pocket knife. and by
several stabs in his body. He fingered
four days after giving himself the wounds,
and died very penitent, aud with sfea'
regret that he had committed the fatal
ACT. This, if we are rightly informed
was caused by sense Of wrongs sensi.
biIity of conscience which led the unhap.

prosecution had ensued, and he was
called as suifness before the grand jury
He had been advised to svithkold some
part Of the evidence which might 60 Il

reflection did so. This pveyed upon his
mind in secret, and led to the melancholy
act which deprived society Of worthy
