SUICIDE OF TWO LOVERS.

From the Boston Journal, July III, lo54.]
A suicide, attended with circumstances
of singular character, occurred this
morning in East Abingdon, the particu-
lars of which, as We learn, are as follows :
1t seems that q young man named Isaac
p. Nash, a native of Pembroke, but a
resident of East Abingdon, and young
lady named Adriana Sampson, belonging
in Stoughton, had formed an attachment
for each other, but from some cause or
other, they were prevented from being
united in the holy bonds of wedlock.-
The young lady was in this city on a
visit to an aunt, and appeared in excel
lent health and spirits. In the afternoon
she returned to her home in Stoughton,
and towards evening her lover, MIR. Nash,
hired horse and chaise In East Abing-
ton, and proceeding to Stoughten, took
Miss Sampson to ride. This was the
last that was seen Of them alive, so far
as is yet known. .,
About five o'clock this morning, Mr..
John Sears, who tends Reeds Mill, In
East Arlington, discovered horse and
chaise, (which was since proved to be the
one hired 10y Mr.. Nash) standing near
the mill, the horse being tied and care
fully covered with a Buffalo robe. on
the fence near the chaise, Mr.. Sears aiso
found two shawls and bonnet, when
have since been identified as belonging
to Miss Sampson and near by the same

A DEVOTED MINISTER.-The Rev. DR..
Tucker, rector of st. Georges church, in
Bermuda, buried upwards of 300 victims
of yellow fever during the months of
September and October last. He admin
istered to the greater portion of these
persons such consultations of religion as
the appalling brevity and violence Of their
illness permitted; he frequently performed
the funeral service, during the hottest
hours of the day, over bodies for which,
from want of time and rapidity of de-
composition, it was impossible to pro-
cure coffins; he was detained in pestifer-
Gus burial ground sometimes till after
midnight, and had for many successive
days to resume his mournful task at sun
rise; during all this period he continued
to perform divine service, and to preach
four times every Sunday, besides, attend
ing to the soldiers in the hospital, and
the prison during the week.

A MAN Losr.-In the town Of N

A MAN LoST.-In the town Of N,
some years, there lived half-witted per-
sonage, who flourished under the eupho-
nious name Of Zephaniah Shurtleef. He
followed no particular business, but used
to roam around as fancy or caprice die
tated. In the Summer, and early in the
Autumn, he was in the habit of going
out on berrying excursions, sometimes by
the roadside, at other times in some more
distant locality. On one of the expedi-
tions, either because his faculties were
more than usually clouded, or from some
other cause, he was unable to find the
way home. Aneighbor, ,ofwhose presence
he was not aware, heard him calling out,
at the top of his voice, in the following
amusing strain
Pm lost I'm lost My name is Ze-
phaniah Shurtleef, and I'm married to
Nancy Parker. I'm lost, Come and
find me, away down in the huckleberry
pasture-close by the great rock-side of
the old oak tree. I'm lost. Come and
find me"
1t is needless to say that his pathetic
appeal received due attention, and the
consort of Nancy Parker was restored.
