SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY.


An iaqusst was held at the New York Hospital
on Wednesday last. on the body of a Young lady
who had committed suicide the night previous BY
taking dose OF laudanum- The Herald says:
The circumstances attending the cause Of her
death are wrapped In great mystery and ii her own
dying words are 10 be believed love is al The bot
tom oft She was engaged 10 Be married the night
the deed was commilted, but 10 ws9m nobody
knows; and she was in love, deep Ia love- with
somebody Of whom as little is known and her last
words we're, elll die before 1 take him. Mrs
Anna Jane Mlcean, the young lady in question
was widow. but oniy5wenty -fonr years OF age and
anative OF ireland. She was contributor TO The
Sunday Diseaseh. and was an accomplished writer,
bota 10 prose aud verse. The editors Of this paper
supposed she was a lady OF means, and only wrote
verses TOR pleasure; but from The letters written on
the day on which the fatal act was committed which
launched her inlo eternity, she seems 70 have BEEN
in great distress. Her prospects were good at one
time. but The money upon which she relied, from
some cause or another. never came to her Wheih-
eI poverty the cause If this act or love il will
never be known. Two letters were found on her
person. one addressed 10 Mr.. Smith, editor Of the
Dis7ai4 a1d The other to a Yrs. Fuller a lady ar
Q1ainsance The letter addressed 10 MIR Smith
stated thar her heart belonged 10 one she could new
er have, and although engaged 20 be married that
night rather than give her hand where she could
not give her heart, she had resolved TO die
