The st. Clairsville Chronicle gives
us the following particulars OF the sui
eide OF Mr.. Hamilton Boon:
."Mr.t Hamilton Boon, OF Flushing,
committed suicide last Thursday. At
the time of the self-murder he was ON a
| visit at the house of his sister, near
| Freeport, Harrison county. Without
giving any infOrmRLioIs of the dreadful
| tragedy TO be enacted, he invited his
nephew to go with him TO hunt squir-
rels, They had not gone far, when, be-
| ing separated, the nephew heard the re-
port of Boon's gun, and hRsteninS to
him found him lying PROSTATE from the
effects OF II self-intiicted wound.
| Mr.. Boon left a written statement OF
the causes thai induced him to commit
the act. His statement is, that, being
disappointed in all his efforts to raise
in the world, believing he had now no
| friends, that his life was burden to
himself and relations, he could do no
better than take a life away that was
miserable TO himself and others. Ask
| ing that he might be buried with as lit
tie expense as possible, and that all in
terested in his fate would soon. forget
him, he bid the world adieu, believing
he was acting for the best.
Mr.. Boon was, some years since, di-
Torced from one wife, aud n year ago
! married another-an interesting,
aLniable, and accomplished woman
who is overwhelmed with grief by this
| fearful tragedy. 49,
He lived two hours after receiving the
wound, and was conscious the last. He
expressed no sorrow.
Harvest is progressing rapidly up
in Brooke county. The clover has been
generally cut and put up in excellent
condition, and is very abundant; fall
barley is being harvested, and except
on wet ground, is considered good
crop. There is some little complaint
of weevil in the wheat, but the crop to
the acre more than average one, al
though the quantity sown is small.
The meadows never looked better.
-Concerningiwool. matters in Brooke,
the Herald reports as follows:
r.. a considerable amount of wool,
M,Gui Wrights, and others, in the
upper end of the county, was bought
last week by Patterson, of Steubenvllle,
at so cents pound, being slightly less
than last years prices. Across the river
80 cents seems TO be considered fair
price, and we have heard of one party
who bought 5000 pounds ut that tig-

none being sold at that figure and not
very much at any, the farmers, we
think, wisely. preferring TO wait awhile
who can afford to.
From the same paper we also take
the following family market report,
which is something unique aud refresh
ing in its way: s...l
q The first vegetables of the season in
/ ly.aFN xyfafnla fhia
sisting OF u buShel OF potatoes, a half
peck of snaps and a tub full of peas
with the hulls on, all in two wagons.
Potatoes 10 cents peck, dull; beans
scarce, don't know what became of
them; peas 40 cents a peck, and dlsap-
peared while we went to get something
| TO put 'em in" Beef keeps even pace
in price with Sl6 flour, and will not
probably decline much till somebody
kills butcher. Steak % cents, rib
and roast 12and sirloin 10. Butter sells
now at Is cents having gone up within
the last few days cents per pound un-
der the influence of the. news from
Mexico, we presume, as there is no 9TH
er better reason that we know OF.
However butter is cheap as dirt, in
com parison with meat, and we may
| look soon for COW beef which Will pos
sibly be cheaper than the other kind.
1t occurs 10 us that the foltowtng clip
from the Morgantown Post ought to
follow as companion piece to the
above market report of the Herald:
THE 2srH AT KERN's SALooN.-Par-
ties who were present on the occasion,
represent the actions of the "uninitia-
ted" at kern's saloon on the 2Sth as
huge. On that day there were a goodly
number of the "mouutain, folks" in
| town-someN who had never seen or
tasted, ice-cream. and there was IA grand
rush for cKern's saloon. When the
"creamH was announced there was; a
big '.skedaddle" for the dining room.
! Some ofthem crammed Il in by the
hedpeiled teaspoOnful, with such excla-
nations. as, ''gea busters, amt that
| good ?" CHATS the darndest best stuff
I ever I tasted !" GSc., &c, while others
sara still for few moments look
ing at the "darned stuff" One indi-
vidual-along, lean, lank mountaineer,
upon beholdtng plate of ice-cream
| said he thought II was a dish OF butter!
Some OF them eat so fast that 'chills
fiew to their head, and they had TO go
out in the sun and "warm up.n On
Saturday morning following, Mr.. Kern
! missed his freezer, and it Is probable
that some hungry Jake got into it and
eat mp the ice-cream, freezer and all!
THE SteubenviIle Herald seems to
be esomeYhat concerned toknow wheth-
er the 'colored people are permitted to
ride on the steet cars in Wheeling. Our
contemporary need have no fears on that
point. Everybody who can pay Is at
liberty to ride here. Our people arenot
badly afflicted with the Philadelphia
disease. aia-
