SAD SUIc1DE.-Olinda Doanc, q
young woman Of Harwich, in this
State committed suicide on the 22d
ult., under the most touching and dis
tressing circumstances. She was i
very respectable woman, and had been
but few weeks married. The cir
cumstanccs of her death we find rcla-
ted in an exchange paper as follows:
For a year or SO previous to her
marriage, she had received visits from
"a respectable young man BY the nar,c
of Hall, to whom she engaged to iec
married. Her parents opposed her
choice, and favored the suit of a wid-
'ower of considerable property, namcd
Doane. Hall soon after married an
other when the parents of the deceased
prevailed on her to marry Doaue.
The friends were invited, but befolc
the time for the ceremonies to com
mence, the young lady excused herself
and retired Not returning, her sister
went to her room, ssw blood on the
mirror and on the floor, went to the
bed, and turning dom the clothes,
found her sister with her throat curt
and her bridal robes saturated with
blood. Assistance 1;as called, her
wound dressed, and She recovered
Soon after, she WAS narrieS, since
which time she has been occasionally
deranged. She tainted Il church few
Snbbaths since, on seeing Hall and his
wife enter; and last Monday week, at
2 o'clock, p. m, she stole from the
authors and scene of llcr ruin, to close
this tale of suffering and wrong.

LIE ooAP iLANT.-lhc Soap Plant,
SO called, grows all ovor California, on
sslgh hills as well as in the valleys.
The leaves make their appearance
about the middle Of November, or
about six weeks after the rainy season
has fairly set in; the plants mover grow
moro than one foot high, and tie leaves
and stalk drop entirely Off in May,
though the bulbs remain in the ground
all the summer without decaying. It
is used to wash with in all parts Of the
country, and by those who know it's
virtues it is preferred to the best of
soap. The method Of using it is mere.
iy to strip off the husk; dip the clothes
in water and rub the bulb on them: it
makes q thick lather, and smells not
unlike new brown soap. The botani.
cal name ofthe plant is "phalangium." :"
Besides this plant, the bark of tree,
chelaria saponaria, is also used in
various countries as substitute for
soap. All of these contain consdera.
