eight years of age, who resided at Butter.
nut Ridge, four miles from Clyde, commit
ted suicide on Wednesday last by hanging
himself in his barn. Mr.. Craig has long
been subject to fits of great mental depres-
sion, and on several occasions has threaten
ed to take his own life. On Tuesday last
he was at Clyde and attempted to throw
himself under the cars, but being observed
by the bystanders the attempt was frustrat-
ed. He then went to physician of Clyde
and offered him one hundred dollars to give
him something to produce instant DEATH
He went home, and the next morning on
getting up told his family he had rested well
the night before. He was missed about
noon, and a search being instituted, he was
found in the barn, dead. He had climbed
to beam near the rafters, and fastened
one end of the fatal rope TO rafter over
his head. When found life was extinct,
and the body was hanging by the neck, the
knees resting on the beam. 1t was thought
he hung himself about ten o'clock that
morning Mr.. Craig was worth over $l5,-

Under the head of "too much of good
thing" the Cleveland Herald says:
A shoemaker of this city entered the
store of his employer few mornings since,
and requested a settlement of his accounts,
as he was about to leave the city forthwith.
On being asked the cause of his sudden de-
parture, he stated that during the night his
wife had borne him twins. He said he had
no objection to such an event once, but his
wife had "played the same caper before, y
and he wouldn't live with woman that
served him So" That night he absconded
and has been no more seen.
The Herald of the 7th says: This morn
ing, at about O'clock, fire was discovered
at the residence of G. A. Hyde, No. 20
Lake street, in closet in the second story,
through which passed stove pipe. When
discovered, the closet and partitions adjoin-
ing were all on fire, and was so far advanced
that in five or ten minutes the house would
have been destroyed. But by the prompt
and well directed use of water from the
Water Works, conveyed directly to the fire
with small family hose, the fire was in
stantly subdued.
The water had been introduced on the
premises only about meek, and sufficient
hose for the purpose had just been procured.
The United States Hotel in Marion, was
entirely consumed by fire on the 9th. Loss
about $4,000.
