With most interesting family, and one
whose countenance, appearance and de-

which could tempt happy dispoeitior
with an ample fortune at command.
Blu, he has gone by voluntary act 'te
that bourne from which no traveller re
turns" With the possession of all tina

and happy, he was miserable-the yer.
act which tore him from wife. children

We were present at the happening Q
this melancholy suicide. There can b.
noquestion but that MIR. C.. was laborin.
under an attack Of monomania. We were
intimately acquainted with Mr.. C. and hi
interesting family, and no person had les
cause to lay violent hands upon himsel
than be. Mr.. C. was taken very i'll las
sumner, and his illness was severe and
protncted one, since which time, il seems
that both the physical and intellectual
man had undergone an entire change.

....I. is very unwise to ask lady her
age. Mr.. K one Of the New York
Census Marshals, in taking his account,
met with female who gave her age as 81
years, and in enumerating her children,
announcedthe eldest as "a years old. Be-
ing very modest young man, he supposed
she made mistake, and heightened her
life, Commercially by adding ten years
10 her existence.

Tied Down at Home.

A friend Of ours was one day Emporium
ed bv his wife to take her riding. The
gentleman being man Of business, plead.
ed his engagements, when the wife replied
with the old story, that she must be ''tied
down at home" The husband replied
that if any person would furnish him with
clothing to wear, and enough to eat and
drink, he would be willing to be tied down
home.
A few days after the gentleman came
home earlier than usual, and being
fs.igued, lay down on the sofa and fell into
sound asleep.
His wife took cords and slyly tied his
hands together, served his feet in the same
way, and made him fast to the sofa. She
then set a table with al the house afforded,
and placed an extra suit within his reach.
This done she started to pay visit.
Upon her returning late in the evening
she found her subject of domestic disci-
pine in the same position, except he was
wide awake and very mad.
ssWhat on the earth does all this meant
said he.
"Nothin," quietly remarked his wife,
ssexcept the consummation of your earthly
wishes, enough to eat, drink and wear, and
to be tied down at home.
They were seen out riding next day.

scene at the Post Office this morning. A
rough uncouth looking customer inquired
for letter at the general delivery. He
received one; and not being sure it was
for him, he asked the clerk to read few
lines for him. Dave Brooks, with his
usual desire to accommodate, read as fol-
lows:
