An UNHAPPY MARRIED LADY took a voluntary
leave of earth and Of mother husband and children,
on Saturday night. It was Mrs. Caroline Matilda
Owen, and she perpetrated the sad act by means Of
laudanum, at her husbands residence on Franklin
street, between Clioan Caliope. The husband, late
at night, found hs unhappy wife seriously i'll and,
finding what she had done, at once sent for physi-
clan and for the neighbors and meantime tried to re-
lieve her with emetics of mustard and water, ETC.
The doctor arriving gave her different ernetics or
tried to do so for she resisted both him and her hus
band, saying she was determined to die, and what
little she swallowed had to be forced down her throat
ALI these endeavors, however, were useless, and she
died. The Coroner investigated the case yesterday.
It appeared from the testimony that she had for some
time been dissatisfied with her condition in lie which
much humber than when her first husband lived
and that some time ago she told her mother she
was tired Of life and would die soon. She several
times previously attempted suicide. From other
sources we learn that her first husband was rich,
having spent $4,000 upon her in the course Of
one year. At his death he left her in poverty, and
her condition, it seems, not bettered to her no.

The GERMAN CHURCH DIFFICULTY of the Fourth
District is the richest thing Of the day A new and
very interesting act in the drama was offered yester
day. The obnoxious minister, Rev. Mr.. Presler.
(Whose friends are IN the mlnority,) went to the
church yesterday forenoon, at the usual hour, to
preach as usual At the door he was confronted by
phaianX OF resonte looking German ladies', (wiyes of
the Trustee party, who are in the majorty) and in
