tiser, relates the following sad occurrence
which took place in Chiua, Kennebec co.
a few DAYS since:
ga young lady Of respectable family.
only nineteen years Of age, sensible and
accomplished, and handsome withal. and
the belle of the village put period to her
own existence without any known or ap-
parent cause. In the afternoon she visited
her friends, and was in her usual good spi-
rIts; in the evening she wrote letters to her
parents and friends, and then deliberately
folded some quilts to put under her head,
on which she lay down and drew a razor
across her throat with unerring aim; she
was found dead with the instrument Of
death in her hand, by her afflicted relatives
in the morning.

in Lancaster, named Getz, is said to have
invented trunk which will preserve its
contents of clothes, books, papers, &c.
dry, though immersed in water any length
OF time, and will buoy up $50 pounds weight.
A traveller who carries one of those trunks,
has nothing to do, when steamboat takes
fire, but to seize his trunk, plunge over
board, mount estride it, light his pipe and
cit patiently until relief comes.
P. S.-Ithas been found OF great advan-
tage 10 light your pipe before jumping over

no use for your hands but to cling tightly
