EXAMPLE OF THE FALLIBILITY OF CIRcUM-
sTANTIAL EvIDENcE.-In january last two
men, named Henry Upton and Joseph Swift,
were arrested in New York for burglary, and
convicted Of the same upon circumstantial
evidence Of a strong character. Since that
time, man named Peter Miller was arrested
on another charge, was sent to prison, saw
the two men above-named and confessed
that he perpetrated the crime for which they
were confined. Miller was taken to the resi-
dence of DIR. Matlack, where he told how he
entered the premises, what room he took the
property from, and related the circumstances
so fully and truthfully, that there can be no
doubt of his agency in il; and as there is

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE - MAN FOUND IN A
STABLE SUSPENDED BY THE NECK.-A few
weeks ago a man named Conrad Hill arrived
in this city, from Detroit, and obtained a sit
uation, as a butcher, with Adam Klein, of
Storrs Township. Last Saturday he was told
by his employer that his services would be
dispensed with after that day, but he was
also requested to remain until yesterday
when he would probably be able to find
another place.
On Sunday morning, however, when the
hostler went to the stable for the purpose of
attending to the horses, he found Hill sus-
pended to one of the rafters by q rope, and
quite dead. He was Immediately taken down,
but could not be restored. Coroner Carey
held An inquest upon the body, night before
last, but nothing was ELECTED which threw
any light upon the remote cause of the act,
although the more immediate one would
seem TO be the loss of his situation.
The deceased was about thirty-eight years
of age, and unmarried. Nothing is definitely
known of his previous history, save that he
had resided in Detroit, and was butcher by
trade. His actions seemed to denote un-
soundness of mind but the probabilities are
that recent pecuniary losses, combined with
deep-seated and morbid melancholy, which
could not find relief in words, or sympathy
in his companions, was more intimately
connected with the cause of his death than
the mere want of employment.

SoIREE DANsANTE AT THE BUREET HOUSE,
The exhibition ball of Mr.. and Mrs. Shank
this evening at the Burnet House promises
10 be a recherche affair. All the arrange
ments necessary for the comfort and enjoy
ment of the guests have been made, and in
every respect it will doubtless excel any
former effort of these popular Terpsichorean
devotees. The supper-which may be had at
any time, in the ladies' ordinary-in the
hands of Messrs. Johnston & Saunders, of the
Burnet, will of course be q miracle in its way,
while the musicians, selected expressly for
the occasion, will make the night joyous with
doubt it will be one of the most pleasant
parties Of the season, and advise all who can
TO attend 1t.

SINGULAR SUICIDE OF AN AeEp CITIZEN

SINGULAR SUICIDE OF AN AGED CITIzEN.-
The probable selfdestruction Of Mr.. Evan
Gaithier has already been announced, and
we are now called upon to record his death.
Mr.. G.. left his residence, at No. 30 Mound
street, q short time after dinner on Sunday,
and did not return at the usual hour for tea.
His remarkably regular habits and his previ-
Gus mental depression, combined to cause his
family considerable uneasiness, which gradu-
ally increased as night came on, and as he
still did not return, some of the members
procured the assistance of a couple of officers,
and repairing to his plumbing establishment,
at No. 296 West Sixth-strect, they broke
open the door and found him lying upon the
floor, in moribund condition.
Medical aid was Immediately summoned
and he was removed to his residence. From
the symptoms the physician expressed the
opinion that he had swallowed laudanum,
and there seems to have been no doubt that
this was the method of his death. The
poison had SO difiused itself through his sys-
tenn, however, that medical aid was wholly
vain, and despite the efforts of his physician,
after lingering until five o'clock yesterday
morning, he died.
Mr.. G. was about sixty years of age, and
for long time had been a citizen of Cincin'
natl. He was widely-known and highly
respected, and the method he thought proper
| to take to relieve himself of the cares of the
world will be deeply regretted by numerous
| friends. The causes which led TO his demise
are not definitely known; but as there arr
griefs too deep for tears, so also there are cir
cumstances too sacred for words. Those wht
knew him best will most sincerely sorrow
| for his death, and the mantle which nov
covers his form will also hide his faults.

WoMAN.-Thomas Wallace, who, our readers
will remember, few days ago, cruelty beat

and abusing her dumb child, was yesterday
sentenced to the dungeon of the County Jail
for term of ten days. The affair was one Of
the most brutal of which we remember to
have heard, and judged by the standard of
revenge, should be punished by about life
time of solitary confinement.
