the business community by sudden de-
parture from the city, has returned.

Attempted Suicide of n Young and Lovely
I3irl : A BeLrOthed Bride Swallows

Last Sunday evening, about nine o'clock,
a young and lovely girl, residing in Court
street, near Walnut, while sitting in her
parlor conversing with some acquaintance,
suddenly fell from the chair to the floor, and
became, apparently in a moment, uncon-
scious. After the company had recovered
from its surprise, the delicate form of the
gentle creature who but short time before,
had been the soul of their society, was car
ried to a couch and physician called to her
assistance.
In the meantime the news spread to the
neighborhood, and her friends became aware
of the fact that she had procured early in
the evening, q quantity of laudanum,
amounting to nearly two ounces, and they
began to fear that she had attempted
suicide. Upon searching the room, a vial
which had contained the deadly narcotic
was found, and their suspicious were con-
frmed.
The physician found his patient suffering
from every symptom that follows the ad-
ministraton of this much-too-popula
poison and by the aid of the most prosaic of
all medical Instruments stomach-pump,
succeeded in relieving her system OF the
noxious tincture, and finally restored her to
partial consciousness.
Since then she has been growing grad
ually better, and is now considered out of
danger. In the mean time she has revealed
the fact that previous to taking the poison
she had an interview with her lover, to
whom she is betrothed, and that they had
not only parted in anger but he had said he
would never see her again.
AS soon as he had departed she procured
the laudanum at a neighhoring drugstore
and, after taking it, sat down to entertain
her company, expecting that the quantity
was large enough to produce the desired
effect, whether she was discovered or not.
What followed has been already related, save
the mental as well as physical agony she
must have suffered, which may be more
readily imagined than described.
