The following incident will serve to
show what effect the prospect of the sue
cessful prosecution of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal has upon the value of pro-
perry in the upper counties of Maryland:
Wat: Int
In the year 1881, before the decision Of
the late controversy between the Canal
and Rail Road Companies, farm Of $50
acres, lying upon the Potomac River. in
Frederick county. was offered for sale,
and the price demaDded -four thousand
dollars,) could not be obtained for it In
May last jury was called upon the land
to condmen the right Of way for the "a
nal through it-and the sum sl,740 was
awarded and paid as damages for this
right. About 900 hundred acres OF the
land have lately been sold for $4,000,
and what the owner retains fbeing the
portion between the Canal and River he
values at $500.
There is no particular circumstance
connected with the location of the Canal
at this place TO induce belief that greater
benefits viii be conferred upon this land
by the completion of the Canal, than will
be common TO most of the neighbouring
country through which it will pass.

vote of more than two to one passed q

Melancholy Suicide. Our readers
will perhaps recolect the account ola
gentleman, by the name Of Joseph Ing
ham, Ieaping from an upper story, and
impaling himself upon the iron balus-
trade in front Of fremont House, in
Boston, sometime during the last sum
mer; and who, on his recovery, ex-
planned the occurrence by stating that
in temporary hallucination, while
packing his trunk for a journey, he
thought he was in his store, and that in
throwing himself from the window, he
supposed he was Icaping over the coun-
ter. This unfortunate individual put
an end to his life between 4 and 5 o.
clock yesterday morning, in his room
at the City Hotel; (whcre he had been
a guest since the first of this month)
by shooting himself through the head
with pistol. 1t appeared that he dis
charged the pistol twice before effect
ing his purpose; the ball on the first fire
passing through the palm Of bis left
hand, with which he was probably
supporting his head, and lodged in the
bed after It's rebound from the walls of
the room. From the traces of blood,
it would seem that he then stepped out
into the passage, (for the purpose, as
some conjecture, Of leaping out of the
window but Immediately reloaded the
pistol with two balls, and discharged it
through his head; the balls entering
over the left eye, and passing out at
the right side behind. His manner
and conversation since his arrival in
the city have been uniformly rational,
though occasionally cvincing low spi-
rits. Several letters on business, dat
ed the evening previous, and left un-
sealed, are said to be written with per-
feet correctness, and to contain moth
Jag indicative of an intention to termi-
nate his existence. He had, indeed,
made arrangements for leaving tie ci-
ty at s o'clock in the morning. We
understand that he was about 30 years
of age, man of wealth, and engaged
IN extensive mercantile transactions.
