Hereditary Suicide.-Dr. Gall.re,
ates the case of Mr.. Gaulhier, owner
OF several warehouses in Paris, and who
left to his seven children a properay of
two million of francs. They all resided
in Paris AMI its environs, where they
lived upon their property, which some
of them had considerably increased by
fortunate speculation. Not one of them
was visited by any material disaster, and
all enjoyed perfect health. They were
all highly esteemed by their friends and
neighbors; yet all ofthem labored under
an inclination to commit suicide, TO
which they yielded in The course Of
thirty or forty years; some hanged,
some drowned, and others shot them
selves. The last but one invited on a
Sunday party of sixteen persons to
dine with him. When dinner was SER
we'd, the host was suddenly missing, and
having been searched for everywhere in
vain, was at last discovered hanging in a
barn. Tha last of the seven, who was
the owner of house in the Rue dc
Richelicu, having raised it by two
stories, conceived that the expense had
ruined him; three times he attempted
to destroy himself, but was prevented /;

does not truly appreciate her mission ir
