SUDDEN DRATHs.--nIr u. W Clarke young
and wealthy planter, Of Prince Georges coun-
ty, put an end to his lite on Saturday by shoot
ing himself through the head with a pistol.
He had been for some time in a gloomy condi-
tion of mind, and his friends were preparing
to take him on journey, hoping that he would
derive benefit from change of air and scene.
ON Friday he wrote a letter, in which he stated
he could not trust himself any longer, and ex-
pressed the desire that $4,000 of his estate
might be given to a lady to whom he was be-
trothed.
Mrs Mullgan, lady residing in the same
neiehborhood, has also deceased, and Mrs
Contee, widow OF Capt. John Contee, late Of
the navy, who was an accomplished lady, es-
sayed to visit one Of her daughters, and al
though in usual health, she expired within half
an hour after crossing the threshold.
BY This striking mortality, three large es-
tates in the very best portion of Maryland
will soon, under legal forms, pass into new
hands.
