also chat it WAS not worth while to attempt
to help those who were unwilling to help
consequently it NJ thought
best to let those who are willing to pay en-
JOY the benefits arising from the subscrip-
ton. The list can be found ct the ONCE Of
Geo. E. Hubbell, Esq, and ~ earnestly
advise all who have any particular desire to
escape the draft, to drop in and put down
their names, and good round subscription
besides. 1t is necessary that this associa-
ton should raise at least ten thousand dol
lars, and that can be easily done provided
those who are able are only willing. The
funds are to be paid over to Ira n. Clifford,
Esq.
SUICIDE OF AN USroHrUxA7E.-Ws clip
the following from tho Chicago Times Of
Saturday:
On Sunday evening last, ayoung woman,
apparently about nineteen years Of age and
quite prepossessing in personal appearance,
Knocked vt tho door of disreputable house
on Van Buren, street, kept by the notorious
Mollie CASTILLO, and requested to be allowed
to remain there few days. The woman
gave the necessary permission, and took the
girl to her own room. Mrs. CASTILLO was
absent during the greater part Of the. eve
ming. and on returning found that the new
conner had retired to bed. Several times du
ring the night the girl was heard to groan,
and she v0mited once or twice, but the keep
or Of the house was not alarmed, as she sup
posed the girl had been drinking liquor. In
the morning, while she was drcssing,. Cas-
tello perceived two boxes on tho window
sill. which, upon examination, she found to
contain opium and arsenic, Of which she
ascertained that the girl had swallowed q
portion the previous evening. She threw
the stuff into the fire, but a. the girl ap-
peared to be in good health, and had par ta-
the effects of the poison had been counter
acted. Nothing unusual was noticed du-
ring the day, or indeed until Thursday eve
nina. when the girl complainod of feeling
uuwo1l, and shor1ly aftsrW1fdD wsnt bed.
She rapidly grew worse, and nmAly doc
tor was summoned. Antidotes were ad-
ministercd, but they were ofno avail. The
unhappy sufferer soon became delirious,
and. continuing to sink, expired 1t o'clock
yesterday morning, with the name Of her
seduce upon her lips.
From accounts given by the deceased
previous to her death, it was learned that
she had recently arrived in this city from
Davenport, Iowa, where she had lived for
merly two years with her betrayer, whose
name she gave as Higgins. Through his
inducements she had left the home Of her
parents. who reside in Milwaukee. The
only motive she gave, for committing the
rash act, was, that having been cast oft by
the man who had caused her to leave the
paths Of rectitude and virtue, she no longer
wished to live in this world.
