SUICIDE OF MINISTER. Rev. DR., J. S,
Tomlinson committed suicide by cutting his
throat with raizOr, at his residence in Cler'
mont county on Saturday night, the l4h inst.
DR.. Tomlinson was formerly President of Au-
gusta College, in Kentucky, and afterwards
President of Ohio University at Athens. He
was minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and man of high scholastic attainments. He
had been for moths laboring under great de-
preston of spirits, caused by the death ofa ia
vorite son.
This is very singular case, and one which
would naturally be regarded as the result of
insanity But the Clermont Courier says that
it was premeditated, and that a letter was found
upon his person assigning reason. for the act;
'rThev were stated to be- says the Courier
"ill-health, the loss Of favorite son, during
the last summer-the absence of an income ad-
equate to the necessities of his family, exciting
fears that they might come to want--and 9th,
er reasons, which, although involving no cul-
pability on the part Of any member Of his fam
lily, it would be improper here to repeat"
