From the Boston Patriot of February q

REMARKABLE SUICIDE.-On Monday
morning about 8 o'clock, soon after the
lad opened .he store of Messrs. Samuel
Bradlee g. Son, NCr l42, Washington
street, he found in the first chamber, the
bodies Of Mr.. John B. Carter, aged abou,
23, and Miss Mary Bradlee, aged about
10, suspended by silk handkerchief,
from rope which formerly supporte
a scale beam The bodies were cold,
their hands clasped, aud their faces and
ips in contact. They had stood facing
each other one upon two shop steps, the
other upon a box, placed in a chair.
MIR. Carter and Miss Bradlee were en-.
gagged to be married to each other, with
the appreciation aud consent of their re.
spective parents. During the autumn of
1881, Mr.. c. who had long kept in the
store Of Mr.. Bradlee, went to New Or.
leans, to do business there, and Mr.. 3
having the misfortune to lose his son, hi.
junior partner, wrote to Mr.. Garter, az
h,s future son-in-law, that If his pros
poets were not very good, he would like
to have him return to Boston, and assist
him in his business. Mr.. C. returned
last autumn, and entered the store o,
MIR. u. accordingly. During the pres.
ent winter, Mr.. Bradley proposed to sell
out his stock to Mr.. Garter but no def.
mite arrangement was concluded between
them, owing to their not precisely a.
greeing upon the terms, although no un.
kind words or feelings resulted from the
transaction. Mr.. C. remarked to Mr.
u. about this time, tha, if he did no,
purchase the stock, he should be mar.
RED and 60 to New Orleans to com
mence business. Mr.. Bradlee remop
stl ated against his doing so, in conse
queEce Of the feeble health of his daugh
ter, and expressed the same aversion ,ha
any falher would, at having his daughter
reside so far fron, home, and in an un
healthy climate. But no interruption @
the kindest feelings towards each othel
was excited. At this time, also, Mis-.
Bradlee expressed to the father of Mr.
Carter, that they proposed being married
and going to New Orleans, when the lat
ter expressed his disapprobation Of hi,
So dung, nuiII his son should be estab
lished in business there.

TUESDAY MORNING, FEB. o6.
22d Congress-2d Session

The Senate, Saturday, Feb. 16, re-
sumed the consideration Of the Special
Order, being the "bill further to provide
for the collection Of duties on imports. {"
Mr.. Calhoun resumed his remarks in
opposition to the Bill.
Mr.. Webster followed and spoke till
the hour appointed fer the recess, 3
O'Clock.
The House took recess, and at five
o'clock Mr.. Webster resumed his re-
marks, and closed at half past eight, in
reply to Mr.. Calhoun and in opposition
20 the South Carolina doctrines. He
spoke altogether over FIVE hours.
Mr.. 'poindexter took the floor for
Monday. Adj.
The House, Saturday, Feb. I6, resolv-
ed itself into Committee of the Whole on
the state Of the Union, on bills making
appropriations for the Indian Depart
ment, for the erection Of Fortifica,ions I;
for the support of the army, for the grad
ual improvement Of the navy, for the
more perfect defence Of the frontiers and
for the Engineer and Ordinance depart
ments. Amendments were made to sew
eral ofthe Bills to the House. A quorum
was found not to be present on a division,
when call ofthe House was ordered.
A motion was then made to adjourn; |;
and the yeas and nays were taken on
the motion of Mr.. Clayton, and decided
in the negative. The Speaker announc-
ed that the bill to reduce the duties on
Imports was the first bill on the order of
the day. A motion was made by MIR.
Wickliffe to proceed to the other bills,
as there was evidently disinclination to
60 into that subject to-day, Mr.. Speight
| objected, and said, If the house was dis
posed to sit, he wished the business to be
thken up in order.
A motion was again made to adjourn,
which was carried, a quorum not being
present.
In Senate, Monday. Feb 1S,-The
Bill further to provide for the collection
Of duties on imports, was taken up
MIR. Poindexter, who was entitled to the
floor, was unable to proceed, from in
disposition.
Mr.. Forsyth moved to amend the bill
so rs tn limit the operation Of the entire
Act to the end OF next session.
The motion was rejected lis to 26.
Mr.. Poindexter remarked that this
Bill contemplated the expenditure Of a
large amount Of public money but he
saw no appropriation in it. He there
fore moved to amend the Bill by adding
the provision that the sum of-dollars
o hereby appropriated to carry these
provisions into effect, to be paid ont of
any money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated.
Mr.. Grundy said he hoped the gen.
tienan would fill the blank.
Mr.. Poindexter would leave that, he
said for the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Grundy. The Committee ask
Tor no money at all and the gentle
man may give as much as he thinks
proper. No money is required, to give
effect TO the bill.
Mr.. Calhoun was really surprised lie
said, to hear the gentleman say that no
money was wanted for the Bill, or de-

SINGULAR OccURRENcE.-The follow
ing event, says the Norridgwock, Maine
Journal occurred in Madison Me. nbout
three weeks since. Mr.. BENJAMIN
Smith had place on his farm where he
baited foxes. One morning he started
for this purpose, when he discovered a
large animal near the fox bait. He at
first took it for large dog, but shift
OF position satisfied him that it was an
enormous black Wolf whereupon he
discharged his gun at him. Immediate
Iy the wolf fell and appeared as if dead.
which Mr.. Smith supposed to be the
case, and advanced towards him. When
he had approached within ten or ff-
teen feet the wolf sprang upon him,
se'zing him by the leg. Immediately a
struggle commenced, the wolf all the
while retaining his grip upon Mr.. S's
leg. AT length Mr.. S. succeeded in
throwing the wolf upon his side, and
holding him in this position he got OUT
his jack knife md plunged it into the
throat Of his ferocious assailan,, who
continued his hold upon Mr.. SIS leg.
until he bled 10 death. Mr. S. received
very little injury. his boot protecting his
leg from the teeth Of the wolf. The
wolf was full grown and very large
measuring nearly five feet from snout, to
tail.

MELANCHOLY EvENT.-We have seen
letter from gentleman in Hammond
to a gentleman In this village, which
gives the following particulars Of an ac-
cident which has lately happened in that
vicinity. The facts as we have them
are these: As Mr.. Lemuel MalIary, ac-
companied by his son aud a stranger
who resided at Jones' Mills in Cannda.
were crossing she river opposite Ham
mond and when near the foot of G Grenn-
der Island, fell through the ice and were
drowned. The son and stranger imme-
diately sunk hut the old gentleman cluup
to the ice till by his cries he alarmed a
person residing on the island, who i'm
mediately repaired to his assistance. On
his approaching the spot, Mr.. Mallary
warned him not to approach; told him
that his son and the stranger had sunk |;
and that he could not sustain himself
much longer. He then gave directions
how he wished his worldly affairs settled,
and wished II committed to writing. He
then sunk to rise no more.-St. Law

Few Of our readers have forgot letter from
Lisbon, given in the Journals few days ago
rom an Englishman named Fitch. who related
lis proceedings on the day Of the revolt against
Don Miguel, with naivette and straight forward
rankness truly characteristic Of British sailor.
The John Bull has versiied the Lieutenant's
,pistle, in the following amusing style:-
When Miguel's Commanders
On Lisbon turn'd their tail,
A "mob Of thirty people" came
And took me out Of gaol.
g. i arm'd them all with brootnsticks,
And a crow bar like a switch,
with my tow-row row dow dOw,)
Wav'd brave Lieutenant Fitch.
Nv troops | then commanded
To march to Fort st. John;
We boldly storm'd the outworks-
For the garrison was gone.
sprang upon the sentinel
And knork'd him in the ditch,
With my tow.ro row dow-dow;
Oh! brave Lieutenant Fitch!
Then through the streets Of Lisbon
marched with fife and drum.
And the girls all cried " HuzZa, my boys,
Lieutenant Fitch is cone"
Says Villa Flor. " Ny hero
You've behaved yourself as SIGH,
With your tow row row-dow. dow,
My brave Lieutenant Fitch"
That fine old cock Pamela,
A. well as Villa Flor,
Cried " Such valiant fellow
Me nevare see afore!
In Fane's historic temple
He veil desar,e niche,
Vid his tow row row-dOw dow,
Dis brave Lieutenant Fitch"
So, Gcmmen, fill bumper
OF max, and drink each one.
Here's luck and jolly scramble,
For every mothers son
And may tag, rag. and bobtail
All grow exceeding rich,
With their two. row-row dow dow,
Like the brave Lieutenant Fitch!
