Attempted Suicide,

On Wednesday last, young Irish girl
went down to the Illinois river bridge,
and when near the middle of it, deliberately
took off her bonnet, shawl & shoes and threw
herself into the water Fortunately some
one in skif near by saw her in time to
rescue her, though not until she had sank
several times. We learn from her attending
physician that no external injuries could be
detected, and that although suffering much,
there is fair chance for her recovery. No
cause is as signed for this rash act-no indi-
cations of mental alienation have ever been
observed, and she was at the time in her us-
ual good health. ......
