The NEw-YoRK HEARrHsToSE CLUE" DEVELOP
ING-When il leaked out that some OF the ladies' OF
ton In New-York had formed association, under
the name Of the " Hearhstone Club, several of the
public journals expressed great alarm for the conse
Guences to the ladies themselves and to the good NOR
ais of society generally. Ii would be doing wrong to
Heavens truth to deny that prd acte this apprehen
sion was not wholly groundless, considering the pres
ent condition of crinolned human nature in New York,
and some twenty other cities in the Union south and
west Of Boston, which we are happy in believing still
remains subject the Influences of pastoral simplicity.
The Club referred to, however did not allow itself to
he clamored down by the press, but perseyered in
building itself up, till now 1t has come before the pub
lie in broad daylight gas-light, 1--WE cannot say
which, from the account of an open meeting OF the
Club which lies before u.s. II appears that the Club
recently held meeting in the Cooper Institute with
Mrs. johnson as presiding divinity, and Mrs Farnham
a. recording angel. The proceedings Were not un-
worthy of the SEX when engaged in pursuits appropri-
ate To their sphere of action. Papers read upon
several new and useful household utensils, such us
sewing machines carpet-sweepers, washng-inachlnes,
cooking by gas, manners and college OF domestic
economy. There also a sensible and business-lke

domestics, and gross abuses connected with the
inteigence-ofiiee system were exposed and 1t was
made to appear that il has become necessary rs
means of seprotecton for servants to demand refer

them for the msreSses TO require references OF those
who apply for situations. IL stated that hundreds
of girls had been ruined by being sent from Intelligence
offices to improper places and proposed that the
Club should establish an institution which would secure

SUIcIDE.-Alred Hood, man about 30 years Of age,
who sent to the Insane Asylum at Lick Run about
a week since, committed suicide at that institution
day before Yesterday by seyoTing his head almost
tirely from his body with The circumstances
Of his suicide peculiar as to be worthy of relation
Hood it appears, had, time previous, been too
intimate with another mans wife, and became, IN con-
sequence, prey TO remOrse, which waslgredtly IN
after the developments in the Key and Sck'es
case. Hood, who had been rather dsslpated before,
began to drink to excess, and in the midst Of his raw
ings thought the husband of the injured woman
pursuing him to take his life. This idea took 6rmer
and fTmer hold upon his mind, and his imagination
depicted all manner Of horrible deaths devised by the
man he had wronged. This dread at last became
mania, and the victim of the delusion was committed
to the mad-house, where he ragged ike demon,
raving nc0herenty respecting the injured woman and
her husband On the day Of his selfdestructon Hood
declared the husband was about TO drag hun to hell
and falling on his knees, entreated the imaginary
avengert kill him and rid him Of further tor
ture. The maniac was willing, he said to be shot, as
Key had been but he prayed not to be burnt IN eternal
flames.
Of razor, and thinking his life would be atonenent
for his crime, he nearly decapitated himself with a
hand made strong by madness and desperation.

MAN DYING TwIcE.-A man died in the Seven
teenth Ward day or two ago, who might be said TO
have died once before and been recalled TO life by
singular circumstance He had suffered for long
time from consumption, and grown weaker and
weaker, and more and more attenuated, until he c0nd
not stand speak. He felt that he had but few
DAYS Ii re- and made every preparation for approach
ing dissolution. His wife watched beside hun, and,
morning, he beckoned to her to put her head to
his lips when he whispered, - am going, Jane, and
took her hand. A slight spasm passed through his
frame deadly pallor 0verspread his face; his eyes
rolled upward and the rattle of death WAS heard in
his throat At that moment his wife screamed, and
be started up with vigoT, and asked family;
"Why did you do that Why did you not let me die
in peace" From that moment he began TO recover
and grow stronger, and in a month enabled to
leave his bed and work at his trade. He lived for
nearly two years after that strange event, but finally
was attacked with return Of bis old complaint and
died after illness of three months. Gin. Enquirer.
