THE LATE SUICIDE OF Mr.. F. C. GRAY-
The New York Tribune gives the following addi-
tonal particulars in relation to this singular and
terrible catastrophe:<
'sHe had no domestic difficulties; he almost
worshipped his wife; he always spoke of her as
IAN angel of purity, but said also she had one
thing he had not, and that was religion, which he
most sincerely desired His wife and her whole
family loved him as truly and dearly us their blood
relations.
''His friends think the depression of spirits was
caused by his inactive life, (having been used to
excessive and continued excitement in California }
together with feeling in regard to his future
state.
'He made will some time since in which he
left the whole Of his property to his wife, and
, named her as the principal executor-but the last
and corrected copy of the will was not signed.
'Mrs. Gray arrived from Washington on Fri
day evening, having started from there post haste
when she heard her husband was no more.
"If Mr.. Gray really did commit suicide, the
only cause that can be assigned by his friends
temporary insanity, caused by the facts stated
above, but they cling to the opinion that his deatl
was accidental.

GENTLY compensate for the necessity of such a
change. The inhabitants of Winterberg desired
him to remove the Fingoes also, who had re-

care to locate them within the colony, providing
for definite registry of their titles, and securing
them from trespass.

sides 1t spoke proudly of the man, and of the

Mr.. FILLMORE as the President of the United

regard to the policy of his administration, the

A SLAVE OF GENERAL WAsHINGToN's-I is
not generally known to our readers that there il
yet living near Cookstown n slave of General
Washington's. He is l24 years of age, and can
walk six miles in day. He is SO old that his
fingers and toes are nearly all white. He belong
ed to Washington when he owned what is known
as Washington's Bottom, on which Perrypolis
now stands. The estate of Colonel Cook was and
still is bound for his living. He to be taken to the
Worlds Fair for exhibition, if arrangements can
be made. 1t is well known that Barnum made
his first "pilo OF money" by exhibiting a slave
which he said belonged to Washington; but it was
all humbug. For this man being slave OF
Washington's the record of the transfer from
Washington to Colonel Sleeve will prove. 1t is
worth trip to see him at his home He has used
tobacco and whisky all his life. !,
