.Suieide.

On Sunday the 2sth ult., a woman named
'Clarissa Fowler, residing in Kinsman, commit
ted suicide by hanging She was about 60
years of age, and unmarried. She had no par
ticular home, but passed her time living around
the neighbOrhoOd. several weeks in different
families. 1t is supposed the fact that she was
dependent on the charities of the community,
and that her presence was not always asrcea-
bic. drove her to suicide. The act was COM
nitted while the family with which she was
then staying. were absent at church. She ef
fected her destruction by placing 4 stick on the
top of q cupboard and fastening the other end
to a rafter. A piece Of cotton cloth was used
to effect strangulation. When found. ono knee
was upon a chair, showing that her death was
entirely voluntary. The deceased was a very
large woman, weighing over three hundred
pounds, and being over six feet in height
