Says the Petersburg Express has become a
matter of serious, and we viii add cool con-
sideration. The noticeable sign of the
times is, that there will be but little ice at
the North. and the South will have to pay
heavy for the luxury, unless some Yankee
lnvents substitute or brings supply from
the North Pole.

Suicides,

There seems to be moral epidemic On
this subject. John FeCole, of pittsburg,
tried to kill his wife, and on being ordered
to the Penitentiary for it, hing himself on
Sunday last. Jacob Herzog Of Lancaster,
Pa, received stolen goods, and to eyade a
trial hung himself on Sunday also.
Two young men, Wightman and Elliott
Fof Fayetteville, n. G., died by their own
fhands, and in the same bed. They left
behind them very foolish letter, sayling
they had killed themselves solely because
they preferred dying a natural death !'-
After writing that sentence, one of them
left a request to have his brain examined to
see that his mind was sound. They then
added that they wanted to try another world
because, if worse than this, lit is policy that
we hasten in order to get used to it," The
poor things were either deranged or imbe-
rcile.
W Il. Cloves, who lately took his life in
Richmond, left behind him, also, his dying
testimony. E4e had rambled over the world
seeking happiness, bat did not find it, He
had sought it in wild adventures, but in vain
The discomfort was within lie sought not
to root it out, and to replace it by the calm
sunshine Of the soul lie tried to escape
from himself, but could not. He finally
gave up the race, and exclaiming that life
gave no pleasure, and the future no promise,
he madly terminated his school time Of mem
tai and moral improvement, and forever fix
ed himself in a condition which he said was
lntolerable. AS the tree falls, so will it lie.
lie made another and last desperate at
tempt to escape self-torture.
Let the living take heed, and beware
when sin, or folly, or error torments them,
whittier they fly for relief. Better to live
en-, avoiding the sources of misery, and cul-
tlvatlng the virtues and the habits Of mind
which place man in sympathy with the Gre
