SINGULAR SuICIDE-Daniel Shcshan, a
young man living with his parents near
Buffalo Rock, few miles west Of this city,
committed suicide on Tuesday night, UNI
der very singular circumstances He had
got married about . week before, to a
young lady in Ottawa, in every way worthy
Of him, and for whom both himself and
parents seemed to have a sincere affection.
Immediately after his marriage he started
for home under prstence of bringing 10
view of at once commencing to keep
house" He got home, gathered up some
cloth,ng-enough to fll carpet bag, and
taking some 5000 in money started but
not to Ottawa For a week nothing was
heard of him. Fearing that he might
have fallen into the canal, the water was
taken out last Sunday and an inffec-
tual search made. On Wednesday morn.
ing, however, all WAS revealed. On getting
up in the morning, his parents found a let:
ter on the door sill, and little way off .
carpet sack. The letter sh owed that it
had been written at Cincinnati,-an addi-
ton made to it at La Sale, and then car
ried and deposited where it was found by
Sheehan in person. 1t stated, that after
having filed his carpet bag as above rela>
ted, he had gene to Cincinnati 10 find
work but that the state of his mind WAS
such that he was neither able to work, eat
or sleep, and had made up his mind to
drown himself The ies.er then implored
the forgivness Of Lis parents, and his new
bride, for all Of whom he still protested
the warmcst affection, and, indeed, gave no
reason Cor his purp; Sc, except his state
of mind" From the addition made to
the letter at La Sale, however, it appear
ed that he had determined to come home
and drown himself. This part of the LETT
ter told exactly when, where, and how he
would commit the act, where his body
would be found, and gavo minute direc-
tons as to his funeral, disposition of his
property, payment OF debts, &c. lie walk.
ed up from La Sale, arriving at home
about ii o'clock, deposited the letter and
carpet bag, as air, ady stated, then went to
the canal, hsnd,ed rods or so north Of
the house of his parents, took a ong rope,
tied one end TO = tree, and with the other
end pisioned his hands and limbs, and
then appears to have jumped into the ca
nal, where, as bis letter had accurately
told, his body wa. found next morning
Sheehan vas young man Of irrepro:rch-
able character, sever drank, and was more
than ordinarily pieu.. He had all his life
lived with his parents, for whom his fec
ton was sinsularily vehement. 1t is
though, the excitement Of leaving The m,
and getting married was too much for him,
and upset his mind.

GuMpTroN.- there is any quality
which is absolutely necessary to success
and happiness, that quality is gump-
tom and of all unfortunate and to
be pitied iiividuals, the most unfortu-
nate and to be pitied ARE those who lack
thisinestima bic blessing. Not that there
is anything bad about such people. In
deed, they are generally well meaning,
but ''they haven't any gumbtion
That's all one can say about it. No
other expression, no elaborate descrip-
ton even, can convey to the mind the
precise condition of the class referred
to. 1t would be hard matter, in fact,
to define gumption, yet every one
knows just what IL means; it would be
hard to point out Just what is lacking
in those who do not possess it, yet ev-
cry one is aware of the deficiency ex-.
cept the individuals themselves.
If we might venture into the do
main of mental science, we should saw
that gumption is faculty of the mind
somewhat akin to original suggestion;
a sort of Instinct; sixth sense, it may
be, inclning now 20 tact, now to com
mon sense, according as it is more or
less symmetrically developed.
The unfortunate individuals who
lack guinption seem to fail chiefly in u
due appreciation of the eternal fitness
of things. They have no proper sense
of where things belong, no idea of the
awkward and the ridiculous. They do
the right things often enough, but al
ways at the wrong time. They seem
to have genius for getting things by
the wrong handle. They will bring
you the sheep-shears to cut piece of
Florence silk, or pair of embroidery
scissors to cut a hemp rope Invite
them to call, and they will be sure to-
come in the morning likely on'
washing day. If they have an engage
ment, they WILDE protnpt enough, unless
the business is pressing, in which case
it is as morally certain that they Will
be late as that the sun will rise to-
morrow morning.
But we may as well be patient, and
call it an infrmity of poor human ma
ture. 1t seems to be the province of
some people to get things bottom side
up, wrong side to, and inside out.
They are like a lathe out of order.
When the power is applied, no one
short of genuine prophet can tell
whether it will turn out butter bowl
or a broom handle. OF one thing,
however, you may rest assured. If
there is a chance to get out of place,
they will find it,. if it is possible to
make an awkward blunder theywill de-
monstrate it; and if thing can be
misunderstood, or misrepresented, they
are just the ones to do it.Rurdt Neio
Yorker. anH
