THE Pixies PEAK BUBBLE ExPLoDED.-Un n
der this heading, the Bulletins St. Louis
correspondent, writing on May 10th, says:
Later accounts received from the various
routes leading to Pixies Peak corroborate
what you have already seen regarding those
who were disappointed with the prospect at
the mines, and were returning destitute
to the frontiers of Missouri and Iowa. How
many poor fellows may be returning in cir.
cumstances of great destitution and distress,
you may infer from the great numbers who
went out, as shown in the following statistics
of the ferry keeper at St. Joseph 1t gives
the business at the ferry for a single week,
and that too, at but one crossing point on the
Missouri river:
Number of wagons ferred between st. jos
and Belmont. .............,....... .359
Number of horses and cattle. .......,.l ,42S
Number of foot passengers. ........3 3,096
Loose deck freight. lbs l5,40O
At Atchison, Western, Omaha, Nebraska
City, and other river points, the travel the
seuson has been as extensive, and the gold
fever is still raging, though in an abated
form. A gentleman who has returned from
Fort Riley. only four hundred miles from the
frontier, estimates that he met from four to
six thousand persons en- route for the mines.
lie counted one thousand wagons. attended
| by from two to six persons each, besides
many more on foot, or with pack mules and
hand carts.

A VICTIM OF TIE SICKLEs EXCITEMBNT.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer has the following:
Alfred Hood, man about 35 years of age,
who was sent to the Insane Asylum at Lick
Run, about a week since, committed suici lie
at that institution day before yesterday, by
severing his head almost entirely from his
body with n razor. The circumstances Of
his suicide are SO peculiar as to be worthy of
relation. Hood, it appears had, some time
previous, been too intimate with another
mans wife, and became, in consequence, n
prey to remorse which was greatly increased
after the developments in the Key and Sickles
case Hood, who had been rather dissipated
before, began to drink to excess. and in the
midst of his ra,ings thought that the hus-
band Of the injured woman was pursuing him
to take his life. This idea took hrmer and
tirmer hold upon his mind, and his ime gina
ton 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 like demon, ever
raving incoherently respecting the injured
woman and her husband. On the day of his
selfdestruction, Hood declared the husband
was about to drag him to hell, and falling on
his knees, entreated the imaginary avenger
to kill him at once and rid him of further
torture. The maniac was willing, he said, TO
be shot, as Key had been, but he prayed not
to be burnt in eternal flames.
While in this terrible mood, he obtained
possession of razor, and thinking his life
would be an at1nement 70. his crime, he
nearly decapitated himself with hand made
strong by madness and desperation.
