SUICIDE OF A U. STATES OFFICER-The
Wheeling times of Wednesday, the 10Th

We have the melancholy duty of an
nouncing the death of Capt J. G. REED, of
the u. S. Army, and late aid of Gen. Gaines,
which took place at the United States Ho-
tel in this city, about 4 O'Clock yesterday
morning. He arrived in the New England
from Cincinnati on Monday, and stopped
at the u S. Hotel; in the evening paid his
bill and his fare to Philadelphia. He ap-
peared melancholy and somewhat deranged.
He went to his room, but did not retire
persons lodging in the adjoining rooms
heard him walking the room from the time
he entered until the hour above named. He
then appears to have deliberately taken his
holster pistol from his trunk, cooked it, and
placing the muzzle at his right temple,
snapped two caps, Gas they were heard in
the adjoining room, and mistaken for the
Swapping of coal in the fire A third time,
the pistol was discharged, the ball passing
through his right to left temple, and thro'
the partition into the adjoining room. He
! fell instantly dead without groan.
He had letter in his possession of re,
cent date, from Gen. Gaines, accepting hi:
resignation as one of his aids, and coucheC
in the most fattering terms. He also hae
sword, presented to his father by the Le'
gislature of New York, for honorable ser,
vices in the last war, and by his father pre-.
scented to him in 1871. He had about 81
dollars of money with him and some bag
gage. He was aged about IS years.

O BTU A R.Y.

Died at her residence, Oak Hill, Charles county,
Md, on the eve of the 18th inst, Mrs. SUSANNA
E. consort of Mr.. JOHN A. Coz, in the 18th year of
her age.
Again it is our sad office to record the death of
victim of that fatal of all Consumption
and of one too scarcely in the prime oflife. Why,
oh why, will this irremovable and painful disease
almost invariably attack the young and tender frame
But we should not murmur. The all-wise and just
Jehovah thus ordains it.. He can tell the languish
ing soul why he thus fills it with pain before the
bloom of its iuventity has hardly put FORTH She
suffered much, for she fingered nearly year. She
moved within her family circle, complaining little.
At last, weak and we'll nigh worn out she laid her
almost feshless frame upon her couch, and invited
Death to approach, as she knew he on his way
to her. She would often raise her langud eyes to-
wards that place whence she expected the messen-
ger of God would come-to Heaven. For she had
read
II Death S but servant Jesus sends
To call us to his arms;'
and she wished to resign her soul into his hands to
be borne to the arms of Jesus and live in those hap
DIV realms where sin and sorrow dare not come,
which God has prepared for those who anchor their
hopes-their all upon him. Weeks had fed, and
still she lay upon that bed Death seemed to hut-
ter over her bed as if sporting with his victim
Still she looked to Heaven and prayed to be admit
ted there Her friends trod softly around her bed
side, and administered to her earthly wants.
ssThey watched her breathing through the night,
i Her breathing soft and low,
! As in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
! "Their very hopes belied their fears,
Their fears their hopes beled,
They thought her dying when she slept,
/ And sleeping when she died.
/ "For when the morn come dim and sad,
i And chill with early showers,
] Her quiet eyelds closed-she had
! Another morn than ours"
Yes, truly, she died having, as we have every
reason to believe, made her peace with Cod
Glory be to Thee, o Lord!
We II give Thee thanks for where she s gone,
And always say, "Thy will be DONE"
| Well weep no more, for 0 tits vain!
! She meier will come to again.
But death to us will soon be given,
| And then we III meet again In Heaven a.,
| There, there to live! to live with thee
In peace to all eternity.
! Yet give the stricken husband ease,
| Do thou, Lord his grief appease.
