Suicide in Winnsboro.

The town of Winnsboro was shocked
on Saturday evening last by the announce

Neil, highly respected citizen OF that
place. We learn that he had for some
time exhibited symptoms that alarmed
his physician, and created the suspciun
that bis mind was seriously impaired. 1t
was not remarked generally, however,
and when on Saturday night it became
known that he was dead, and that this
melancholy result was accomplished bv
poison administered by himself, the shock
on the entire community was appalling.
DIR. Neil was reared in the towa Of Wins

ever occupied more enviab!e position
for high moral traits Of character. He

and the Christian in every relation of life.
That his death was the result or cerebral

the community. He Lad, for long time

Has 4 WIFE ANY PEcuxIARY VALUE
We ought perhaps 10 beg pardon OF our
fair readers for entertaining for moment
this question, which we assure them WAS
not one of cur own propounding. But a
case involving this point was tried At the
Oneida IN. W Court, on the l3:h in
stant, in which he plaintiff sought TO re
cover from The budson River Railroad
Company, damages Tor the loss Of his
wife. who WAS killed while on an express
train on that road, way train having
run into the one upon which she was
travelling. The demand was for 81, 900,
the manlmum allowed by law for the loss
Of single life. The defence set up was
that no peeanidry damages had been sus
tained. The jury to whom silis case was
committed had, it appears, a tolerable
appreciation Of the value OF a wife. and.
We doubt not, were happy in their do
mesic relations for they finally awarded
damages to the amount Of 81 900 to the
teTesvad husband Tbs settles :he CITES.
tion that wife has pecuniary value
aside from the amount Of gold she NAV
possess, and will afford to many hus
band, who had supposed himself utterly
lnsoIyeni, much consolation.
