HORRIBLE SUIcIDE.--Y Yesterday afternoon,
about two O'clock man named Charles
McRary, about forty-fve years old, native
of Glasgow, Scotland, residing on the south
west corner of Scott and Seventh-streets,
committed suicide by discharging the con-
tents of double-barreled shotgun in his
mouth. The effect was terrible; the load
passed completely through his head and out
window, breaking several panes of glass.
The walls were bespattered with blood and
brains in every direction producing instant
death. The causes of this rash act are these:
Not long since very promising SON died in
Wisconsin,; afterward he lost some property
in our city by falling to meet payments.
Intelligence was also received that his
brother in Scotland had become insane, and
requested him to return and take charge of
the brothers affairs, which he had concluded
to do as soon rs he could satisfactorily ar
range his own business. Within the past
few days he became very morbid, superin-
duced, no doubt by the foregoing facts.
Yesterday afternoon, after his children had
gone to school, he requested his wife to go
and visit friend, which she agreed to,
telling him she would be back in time to
prepare his supper so that he could go to
work, being employed as foreman in the
Glass-works. When alone, he locked the
door, then committed the deed.
The Coroner held an inquest on the body
and returned verdict in accordance with
the above facts. He leaves wife and four
children.
BODIES FouYD.-Y esterday the bodies of
two brothers-named Jacob and Nathan
Swartz, aged respectively nineteen and
twenty-one years-were found in the river
at the foot of Main-street. Some days since
they were seen in skiff, since which time,
upto yesterday, nothing was known or heard
of them. This calamity is very painful, as
they were the only support of their widowed
mother, who resides on Main-street, near
Fifth.
MAYORS CoURT.-Only one case was before
Mayor Goodson yesterday, which is slight
falling off from the previous day. John
Raudemaker, for being drunk and disorderly,
was sentenced to pay fine Of IS 25 In de.
fault of that amount he was sent to Jail to be
put to work until the amount of his fine is
liquidated.
UNION MRETIEG.-A meeting of the friends
of Bell and Everett will take place this even
ing in the Eleyenth-street Market-space.
Eloquent speakers will be in attendance to
prove that the above-named candidates ought
to be elected .... n

MYsTERIoUs.- esterday morning at Alex
andria, supposed young man, neatly
dressed, applied to the proprietor of the
Alexandra and Newport stage line for pass
age to the latter place, Saying his name was
Smith, that he had sister in Cincinnati who
was about dying with consumption, and that
he was penniless. The stage owner, under
those circumstances, kindly gave the fair
faced young man free passage, and took no
further notice Of the affair. The driver,
however, had his suspicious aroused, and be-
fore reaching Newport the young man was
discovered to be young woman, but she
refused to answer any questions, and main
tained most stubborn silence as to the cause
OF her thus assuming male attire. Upon
reaching town she was allowed to depart,
leaving the mystery dark as ever.

PIKE's 0PERA-HoUsE.-The TnVisible Prince
is having fine run at this house. A large
and exceedingly well-pleased audience wit
messed il last night. The capacities of the
extensive stage and fine scenery, for spectacle
pieces, are well brought out. The comic
play, fine tableaux, the really superb dancing
of the Gale Sisters Mile Rosa Segrist and
Marietta Zanfretta and Z. Velardi, and the
extraordinary athletic feats of the Siegrist
Brothers, (rather better ON muscle than wit),
made an attractive performance. This was
followed by the fine tight-rope performance
of Marietta Zanfretta and Mr.. johnson, and
the farce of An Alarming Sacrifice.
Tonight the programme viii be repeated.
Colleen Bdton again drew
full house last evening at the National,
which seemed we'll pleased with its wild

has put this piece well upon the stage and
is resping his reward in full audiences and

stock of drugs and chemicals, besides causing
considerable damage to other parties, resi-
dents in the second stsry of the building.
When the flames were discovered they
had made such progress among the combusti-
BILE fluids that it was impossible to check
them, and the 6Femen exerted themselves
principally in protecting the adjoining
houses. .'-....
Four parties suffered severely by the con-
fagration, as follows: Sprague Parrish lost
their entire stock of drugs and medicines,
valued at 50, ,500 insured for $500 by the

of her prOperty-and, also on Richmond

decline to pursue his remedy against said
principal, and levy on the surety.
ACTION FOR FALSE IMPRIsoNMENT.-Henry

BRECKENRIDGE MEETING AT GREENWOOD
HALL LAST NIsHT.-Address by Judge Bart
tey.-The attendance at the regular meeting
of the Breckenridge and Lane Club last
night, was not large, not more than 200 per-
sons being present. Judge T. W. BARLEY, in
accordance with a previous notice, addressed
those assembled on the political topics of the
day.
He commenced by reviewing the platforms
of ell the different political organizations,
stating his objections to those of the Union,
Republican, and Douglas parties, and gave
in his unqualified adhesion to those of the
National Democracy. Neither Douglas nor
Breckenridge, the speaker argued, was regu-
larly nominated, and therefore Democrats
were at liberty to choose for whom they
would vote. He did not refer to the subject
of fusion for the purpose of defeating Lin
coin, but the whole tenor of his speech
evinced that he was in favor of every candi-
date standing upon his own merits, End that
of his platform.
He gave a detailed history of the Conven-
tions of Charleston and Baltimore, and at
tributed all the divisions of the Democracy
to the persistency with which Mr.. Douglas
demanded a nomination. The Judge was
frequently applauded, and the whole of his
speech may be regarded as an able one.
