SUICIDE.--Mr. Editor: About half-pas
twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, young man of
slender make and of about 10 years of age entered the
boat of the Catherine Ferry from the New.York side
he appeared to have been elected from some of the
numerous grogshops which flourish In that vicinity;
his face scratched his clothes torn from his person. and
his hat coat vest and boots all gone having on only bis
panaloons and part Of shit-one sleeve entirely gone
After the boat had reached nearly the middle of the
river, he made attempt to spring into the water but
prevented by those that stood near him, who
brought him into the cabin for safety but In moment
after he sprang from them and darted of one of the
cabin windows, and was seen no more although the
boat backed and ropes &C. ready to throw to him,
no appearance OF him could be discovered He was In
my opinion under the influence of delirium rGneHs at
the time Another victim OF the rum traffic, without
doubt.
