startling interest, the general tendency being
towards dizziness intensified. The weather
has been cold and disagreeable, and every
thing moves sluggishly.
ouR PIONEERS.
Phillip Withal S~hepheards Jsdge Of the
Police Court, and one Of the highest Masons
in the State, died on Saturday last, and was
buried yesterday with unusual honors. A
true-hearted gentleman, upright citizen. gen.
uine lover Of freedom and the Union, and a
kind and aFectionate husband, father and
friend, was he. Inever met a more pleasant
companion or more estimable man. He
rests in the peace which follows a life we'll
spent and duty faithfully discharged. One
eff the most noticeable features Of the lengthy
funeral procession was a delegation Of twelve
Cinnamon, representing the six companies
who asked and were accorded permission to
thus honor the memory Of an upright man
and conscientious magistrate.
n YET ANOTHER.
NJ. H. McAllister, late Judge Of the United
States Circuit Court Of this city, died yester-
day at a ripe old age. Deceased was the
father Of Hall and Cutler McAllister, the
attorneys, and Of Rev. Marian McAllister,
Of the Episcopal Church. He, too, was one
Of our old pioneers, and in years past n Of
our most prominent citizens.
OF A BROKER.
Blair Laurie, an old broker Of this city,
also died yesterday, from congestion Of the
brain. He was about the street as usual on
Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning
at 9 o'clock was n corpse. lie was q strong
sympathiser with the rebellion, and a hard
drinker. The recent decline in stocks left
him without a dime, and he died in u fash
ionable boarding house, leaving a family ut
terly penniless and unprovidcd for.
SUICIDE MANIA, g
Still continues to be the fashionable disease,
and the daily papers threaten to discontinue
the publication Of cases on the ground that
the notoriety given by the press is one Of the
impelling causes Of the spread Of the disease.
II would hardly appear possible, at first
thought, that reading the horrible details Of
such cases would lead the reader to commit
the same acts Of violence on their own per-
sons that are so wildly described in print,
yet 1t is beyond doubt u fact that such IS the
effect produced. Since my last, n Mrs: ha-
n somewhat known as u blue stocking
and not very indifferent poetess, residing
near Oakland, attempted TO commit suicide
BY taking poison, and Mt the same time al
ministering poison to all three OF her chill
dren. The lives OF the mother and children
were saved by the timely administration OF
