Distressing Suicide.

A commercial house of this city has received
the following sad intelligence from a correspon.
deLt at GAINESVILLE:
"Jeferson " Sinclair, formerly a lumber dealer
of Milwaukee, committed suicide by cutting his
throat with razor, during fit of despondency
or temporary arrangement. He was out of James,
vile on farm, and was alone few moments in
his house, when he managed to wind up his earth
ly arrangements in about two minutes time
When found. he was dead. 1t occurred on Satur-
day last.
MIR. Sinclair was the posscssor of large for
tune-$l50, ,0O0--and yet, We learn from a
friend in this city, he frequently thought himself
very poor. 1t was a strange delusion. He was
about ffty-six years of age-of warm and gen.
erous impulses, and while in this city was q Ii
beral contributor to benevolent objects. He was
among the largest and most substantial contrbu-
tors towards the erection of Plymouth Church.
He was happy in his domestic relations, with an
affectionate wife and worthy children. When
such sad cases occur, it shows that the imagna.
ton can overmaster all the pleasing realities of
life Wisconsin,, 23d.

NEssELRoDE AND NAPoLEoN.--It is remarka-
BILE fact, that of all the statesmen of Europe and
America who took part in public affairs at the
fall of the first Napoleon, the only one now re-
naming in place is that Russian Minister, who
commenced his political career powerful foe
of the Napoleonic dynasty, which he still lives to
combat. All the public men of the United
States, who were then eminent in political life,
have departed, and new generation occupy their
places. In Europe none remain but Nesselrode,
imperial masters (; who, as the Minister of Alexan-
der the first, opposed the a:gressions of the great
Napoleon, and now, as the Minister of Alexander
the Second, is the vigorous foe of Napoleon the
Third. Forty years of political supremacy =
What hosts of statesmen has this powerful and
venerable man seen rise and disappear, and what
revolutions and changes has he not witnessed !
Once the ally of England against France, he is
now defending his imperial Master against France
and England united.-N. Y. Tribune.

A LAW SroKY.-A few DAYS ago couple of
Dutchmen, Van yampt and Van Vampt Bones,
lived on friendly terms on the high hills of Lime
stone. At last they fell out over dog. Won
Vampt killed Van Bones canine companion.
Bones, choosing to assume the killing to havo
been Intentional, sued Vampt for damages. They
were called in due time into court, when the de-
fendant in the case was asked by the judge wheth-
er he killed the dog. sPe sure kilt him." said
vampt, 'but let Bones prove it, This being
quite satisfactory, the plaintiff in the action was
called on to answer few questions, and among
others he was asked by the judge at what amount
he estimated the damages. He did not we'll un-
derstand the question, and to be little plain
er, the judge enquired what he thought the dog
to be worth. ssPe sure" replied Bones, ''the dog
was worth nothing, but since he was mean as
to kill him he shall pay the full value Of him.
