An extraordinary case of suicide just reported
from Lille, has some points about it that would
seem to indicate that the suicide was an Ameri-
can. A traveller of genheman-like appearance,
apparently about thirty pears of age, presented
himself in the evening at Hotel de pEurope few
days ago and engaged bedroom. On being
asked his name he said that it imInaterisl, as
he should leave sarly next day. However, as to-
wards o'clock in the afternoon he had not made
his appearance, the landlord got the door broken
open and found the stranger lying on the bed
having blown cut his brains with pistol, which
was still in his hand. On the table was found the
following letter, in English: al beg the proprie-
tor Of this hotel to pardon an unhappy man the
annoyance he may cause, and pray him to have
me Inferred deeently, with my initials, F: W., the
date, and star on my tombstone. He wal find ON
me 1900 francs, with which beg him to reimburse
himself all his expenses and to distribute the rest,
| if any, amongst the poor. In acceding to my lass
wishes he viii have my profound gratitade. As
have no friends, at least none within Thousand
leagues, it will be useless to delay my funeral.
F. W. al beg that nay watch, ringstand jewels
may be buried with me-" Ths' money was found
as stated most of it in foreign coin; and the jew
eRy is said to have been buried in accordance
with the dying mans request.

More libel Suits Against Mr.. Bohn.

Mr., Julius Hoerner has preferred charge of
libel, similar to that made by Colonel Won Zinken,
against Mr.. W. Bohn, and based upon the same
communication, which appeared on the 4th of
July, in the Taegliehe Deulsche zeitung, and in
which it is alleged the Yolksfest committee and
the Voksfest finance committee, of which latter
Mr. Hoerner was a member, received moneys for
which they did not account The communication
further alleged that the committee compromised
themselves, and were guilty of corruption, and
complainant AYERS the publication was not only
libelous, but was also made with the intention of
injurng his character and of provoking him to q
breach of the peace. The case is to be examined
on the same day as the complaint made by Colonel
Won zinken, Wednesday next.
Messrs. Louis Schwartz, H. Raten, Charles
Bendx and William Delarue have also made afida-
Wits against Mr. Bohn, and it is understood that
some thirty other gentlemen, members of the
committee, intend prosecuting him.

invite the attention of the travelling public to the
advertisement of this railroad, which will be
found under the appropriate head in our paper
this morning. AS this route is at present fifty
miles shorter than any other between this and the
Northern Cities and as it passes through one Of
the most interesting sections of the whole South,
we think that it has strong claims upon the public
for patronage. The variety Of transportation is
also fact which should be borne in mind, fol-
variety is great thing to wear of the monotony
of q long trip. Read the advertisement.
