Sudden Death.

We regret to announce (says the Abbevillo In
dependent Press, of Friday last) tho sudden death
of Mr. EDNuxD COBB, the proprietor of the Mar
shall House, which occurred in our Village on
Monday, the 3rd inst. He had for several days
previous, been somewhat depressed in spirits, ow-
ing to the sickness of his family and other causes
of anxiety, but Oh the day of his death seemed
moro cheerful, and waited upon his guests at the
Hotel with his accustomed attention. During the
afternoon about o'clock he procured q four ounce
viul Of laudanum from ono of tho Drug Storos,
and overcome, no doubt, by q sudden impulse,
drank of the contents. lie sVon after communi-
Gated tho fact to his mother aud declared that it
was his intention to put an end to his life. Every
medical attention was Immediately extended, but
without avail, and he died in the course Of Q few
hours
No satisfactory reason has been assigned for
the commission Of this rasl act by the deceased.
lie was prospcrins in business and WAS worry happy
in his domestic relations. Hc was devotcdly at
tuchcd to his family, and it is thought that anxiety
on account Of the sickness Of his wife, combined
with other causes Of disquiet, operating upon a
naturally impulsiyo temperament ovcrcsmc him
for the moment and led to the commission Of the
act Mr. CoDB was q man of high spirit, of a
kind heart aud liberal feelings. lie leaves many
relations and friends to dcplUre his untmely end.

It gives US pleasure to record the fact that one
week Of the Fall Term has suficed (iirattc dietn!)
to accomplish the law business of the season in our
District. It is circumstance which cnn but be
hailed with delighta as harbinger of better times
in much-abused old Edgefeld. For q number of
wears, two weeks Mt both Tall and Spring terms
have not been sufficient to clear tho dockets. Nor
has the docke. been entirely cleared now; only n
few unready cases however were left behind, the
trial of which would scarcely have occupied more
than day longer.
This happy consummation is attributed to the
vigorous and determined industry of JUDGE
O'NEALL at last Spring term, followed up by the
steady labotss of JUDGE GLOVER at the present
term,-und, We may also add, by the assistant eH-
c,tions of the members of our bar.
The State rs james II. Jones, was the only cap
ital case of the week. Mr.. S. B. GRIFFIN ably as
sisted the Solicitor in the prosecution, while Mcssrs
CARROLL & ToMpklSs, and Mr.. GARY, wore for the
defence, which WAS admirably managed. Verdict
Manslauqhter. Sentence, 81, 900 fnc and eighteen
months imprisonment.
