having carried Delaware, as the only bright
spot in tho weary waste. Little Delaware is

CRINs AND ITS CossEQUEscgs.--ln the
bartholomew (ind.) Cireuit Court on We'd
nesday, the case Of Shrewsbury and Price VS..
Menhuhter, was decided, damages being
found against the defendant in the sum of
ten thousand dollars. When the verdict was
rendered Menhunter drew pistol and shot
himselt through the heart, dying instantly
The deceased had been the agent Of Shrews-
bury and Prize, who are sxier svc miIlers al
Madison, and the suit involved his personal
integrity. Hence his act of self destruction.
Another act in this terrible drama is yet 10
be unfolded. Yesterday the extensive flour
ing mill OF Shrewsbury and Price was de-
stro, ed by fire, involving n loss to them OF
over twenty thousand dollars, exclusive OF
insurance.
The reader can draw his own differences
from these facts. Doubtless the suicide and
the subsequent, incendiarism are nearly con-
nected. Menhunter had avengers, aud Shrews-
bury and Price are the sufferers.
