{ ATTEMPTED Su1cIDE-We have heard, but
cannot say how reliable the information, that
an elderly gentleman, living few miles beow
Greenville, well known to our citizens by the
name of Cain Wells, attempted his own life
by shooting himself on Sunday last 1t seems
that he did not quite succeed, but it is sup
posed that it will BE- impossible for him to live,
as much of his brain was shot away. The
causes of this unfortunate suicide we have not
sufficiently learned to positively state, but this
much we would repeat of what we have heard:
On Wednesday or Thursday, of last week, he
promised himself that unless it should rain
upon his crops by Saturday he would kill him
self, and it not having rained, it appears that
he endeavored to put his awful threat into exc
cution We sincerely trust that this report is
untrue, but if it be, it should prove dreadful
warning never to tempt the Almighty in the
dispenSations of his Providence. ~

A DANGEROUS. FEAr.--Some TIME SINCE the
point of the lightning rod on the steeple OF the
First Congregational Church in New London,
got unscrewed and fell 10 the ground. 1t was
such dangerous piece Of work to- sreRlace.:sit
that the committee were unwilling to employ
any one to perform the task. a Mr.. De Wolf.
however, volunteered to, make the attempt,
which the committee permitted atten sone
hesitation, having promised him handsome
sum if he succeeded He did d.succeed, accom-
plishing the task Without any apparent c"h
sc"lsuess 6t having. done any thing exlraor.
dnary. < The New London Chronicle says the
point to which he assembled is very near two
hundred feet and for the'last fifty feet he had
to- climb up stone surface, with nothing to
hold on to but a small iron rod; and when he
reached the ball he was still somle dozen feet
from the end. of his journey. This distance
he had to shin up single rod, a labor which
h found so fatiguing that he became exhausted,
and was obliged to return and seat himself on
the ball and recover breath. This he soon did,
and fearlessly resumed his travels towards the
-loud< where he accomplished his object, and

Hox. JomN McQUEEN.-We clip the fol-
Iowng from he FMariulra Star: .a.....-
:. The greatera part. of our readers will, we
have no doubt, be pleased to See ilf to-day's
s,aper the formal announcement OF Gen.
Mcqueen as IL candidate for re election {" Con-
greSs To hi$"own constituents his services
have been So ably, faithfully and successfully
rendered, a.. to merit aud secure their conf.
dence. III fact none of his predecessors have
done as much. We may instance the passage
of the bill granting time the Wilmington
and Manchester Railroad to pay the duties on
the iron imported for laying the road, tle+coll-
tract for the payment of it in mail service;
thus securing the Transmission of the .rtat
northern mail on this route, which measure
owed its success mainly to the exertions of
Gen. Mcqueen, the number Of new po>troutes:
and post offices he has been succe sStu in es.
tablishng throughout the Congressional dis
trict, thus accommodating a large number of
his constituents ,withlgreater mail facilities. =.
TO add to these the eStimable qualities of
Gen. Mcqueen, as high toned gentleman,
and his business capacity, have earned for him
a high reputation, both at Washington and
throughout the State. A reputation founded
on so solid b, isis, which is capable Of making
General Mcqueen generally useful to the
State, will not, we are sure, be slightly estima,
ted by his own immediate constituents" -.
