MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT EAST Or
Intelligence was received here on
| Wednesday last, of the death of daugh-
ter of Mr.. Putnam Hartman, of Corinth,
and the circumstances are peculiar and sad.
| The young lady has resided for some time
in Manchester, n. H., had but recently re-
turned home, and was at the time Of her
death, stopping with her sister, Mrs. Hale,
in East Orange. On Tuesday morning
| Mrs. Hale was absent at the house of
neighbor, leaving the deceased in charge of
the children at home. Later in the morn
lug, Mr.. Hale conveyed the children 10
school, and returning, joined his wife upon
the road. When they arrived home they
found everything was silent. MIR. Hale
called in different parts of the house but
received no answer. Finally, entering a
bedroom, the body of the young lady was
| discover ed in Il corner near the foot of the
bed, with deep and fatal wound near the
top of the collar bone. The implement
used was common razor, and it appears
that she had first fallen upon the bed after
inficting the wound, as much blood was
found upon it. What led her to commit the
rash act is deep mystery; but her friends
attribute it to temporary insanity, as she
has appeared unusually dull and depressed
for some lime past. The sympathes OF
the community are with the numerous rela-
tives from whom she has so suddenly de.
parted.-Bradford Telegraph.
