mitted suicide, on Saturday last, nearly
opposite Nortonyille, in the south chan
mel of Grand River. The facts in the
case, as near rs we have been able to
gather them, are as follows:
Mi. ,Komb!c had exhibited symptoms
of insanity, for some two or three weeks
previous TO bis death, and at times so
much deranged that il was considered
necessary to watch bis movements for fear
he would do violence to- himself. On
Saturday morning be arose as usual, built
the fires and went out. His wife, find
ing he did not return soon, called upon a
1neighbor, Mr.. Goldburg, to assist her in
making a search for him. When found
, his head was under the ice, his body part
ly on the ice and partly on shore, and his
face in water only about six inches deep
dead. Isaac Hunting, Esq. called a
jury, Immediately, who viewed the body
and came to the conclusion, either that he
had fallen in q fit and drowned, or else
that his death was premeditated and de-
tetminedly executed. The deceased was
about thirty years ofagc, had been a res
ident here for q few months only, being
about to engage in the fruit1nurserya busi-
ness, with a Mr.. Purdy, as partner, near
the point where he resided. The cause of
his insanity is not known, publicly at
