days ago, that Mr.. Isaac Carroll, Of Seatord.
had committed suicide while in a drunken fiji.
py beating himself with grubbing hoe On
more particular inquiry, We learn that there
was no.hoe ia the Case, 6ul that whiskey alone
did the work.
One OF The respectable citizens of Cedar
Creek Hun'd; Sussex CO. was found in his wa
gon, on the rUad near Milford, OH Monday last.
IN very feeble condition from the effects of
whlskey-g He seemed TO be entirely helpless
and unable to take care of himself, and seIns |
persons who were passing look charge, of the |
wagon, and started TO convey him, 10 his resi- |
dence, but he expired before reaching it.
One OF Our townsmen, a shop keeper, was
iound locked 10 his shop os las Friday night in |
. dyiHg condition, with Jug of whiskey by his
side. Some citizens we're attracted 10 the spo;
oy the groaus OF the sufferer, and on calling re-
ceIVed no answer. when they burst the door |
open and found him 10 u dying condition. He
died in few minutes afterwards.
THE New CASTLE PRIsoY.-We are prsti- |
ned u obsssye, says the Gazctte, that the COLI |
tractors for erecting the new prison, at New |
f'a!le' have made very rapid progress with the !
worh. sa
Messrs. Carman, g. Dobbins, of P.iIadeIpbia.
have taken The contract to erect the new prison |
at S2S,O00. We understand that the wooden
doors and frames are given out 10 carpenters in
this city. J. nj. Poole &. Co., have contracted
with Messrs. CarInan & Dobblns TO supply the
iron work for $4,000; and we are told that this /
hrm were the only parties who sent estimates
to the contractor. The latter say they conld
have had the work. done for $500 less in PLils- |
delPhla; but did not desire to take the work
out of the Stale. II so we doubt not il would
have been just $500 less valuable, az our me.
cllanics are quite able we think, in matters of
this kind, to compete with those Of PhIladelphia
or any other city.
The prison when completed will contain SO
cells-lhey are 3 by Ia, about 10 feet ceiling,
with but one small window near the ceiling
The doors viii open into common corridors on !
the first and second floors. Each cell will be
supplied with water froin eistern on the roof.
and water closet aud they will thus be en-.
tireiy separate. }IHe ~ e
