time ons Of the boarders in the house, handed
Leonard W. McKenney, n printer by profession,
has evinccd decided symptom OF insanity,
which we are pa'ned to state have finally oul.
minated in self destruction. The deceased WAS
favorably known TO the typographical craft of
the oity, and by all who knew him, was
highly esteem med for his many amiable qualities.
The deceased came to this city about the com.
mencement Of the present session Of Congress,
and had pursued his occupation during most
of the intervening time for short tina he
WAS employed in this office. He was. however,
for limited period engaged In the publication
Of the Daily vrg,.G Gh9n,cie. at AdieISsndria' IsI
About n week ago this partnership was dis
solved, and since that time he appeared to be
the victim Of insanity. Upon fetiring to his

the landlord; sent kind words of parting to the
domestics Of the house, remarking that he
would not be alive In the morning. He also re.
Quested the prayers Of bis friends. rs he retired
alive. Little did they comprehend the signin-
canoe of his words.
Shortly after retiring, his room. mates were
aroused from their sleep by hearing unusual
sounds. which on procuring light, proved to
ing from a ghastly wound in the throat, cover.
ing the bed and floor with gore. The sight was
most horrible. A young man scarcely twenty.
eight years Of age. In the vigor of youthful
manhood, by his own hands sent 10 an untime.
ly grave, 10 a spectacle we hope never to look
upon again.
The fatal deed was effected by means of II
small pocket knife. which, at the time he Was
discovered, WAS clutched firmly in his right
hand; and, from the appearance of the throat,
1t evident that he made several attemp to to
get rid Of life before be proved successful.
coroner's inquest was held yesterday
morning, by Justice John II. johnson, and a
verdict rendered In accordance with the facts.
A number of witnesses were examined, who
testified TO the insanity Of the deceased. The
evidence also proved him to be Il man Of very
temperate habits.
The writer of this article, together with
other friends, had made partial arrangements
10 have him conveyed 10 the lunati0 asylum
where he could receive medical treatment.
He was to have been removed there to-day;
but, alas, death has obviated the necessity.
Mr.. Mex, previous to coming to Washington
resided in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, where. II
appears from several letters found among his
effects, he lease es u wife and one child. The
deceased was member Of the Columbia Typo
graphical 6eciety, and also belonged TO the
Masonic fraternity. His remains will be dc
