on Carondelet street, where he was employed as

The deceased was of very sensitive nature and
subject to fits Of mental depression. Some days
ago he received letter from one of his brothers,
in England, advising him that their old father,
wAom he loved dearly, was veryill and not expect-
ed to live. This news dnade him very sad !, and
preyed a good deal on his mind. Yesterday, how
| ever, he did not seem SO much cast down, and a.
| friend who dined with him found him cheerful
| enough.
During the night, il appears, he went into the
Office attached to the shop, sat at a desk, under
which he left his shoes; then going barefooted to
| the workshop in the second story, took g coil
4 of rope, walked to the other end of the shop !;
1 passing the rope over q beam running across one
| of the arches, secured it, tied a knot around his
neck and threw himself forward. He was found
with his toes touching the floor his neck was moi
i broken, and he died of suffocation. He left nc
4 writing, nothing to explain this melancholy act

sorrow that was known to prey on his mind.
Mr. George Esterbrook was forty years of age
and native of England. He had been resident
of New Orleans for over thirty years, and was es
, teemed and respected by all who knew him. HI
