A Mosr LAMENTABLE SUIcIDE-A Lndy
Drosons Herself ia WeH.-A most painful
tragedy was enacted on Wednesday night on
Oregon Hill, by Mrs Susan Green. Mrs G. had
some two weeks previously given birth to twins
aud while confined to her bed by illness labore5

the we'll. Between twelve and one o'clock ON
Wednesday, while her husband, who was sitting
by her bed and holding her hand, was ASLEEP
she stole from her chamber, and, proceeding to
the back yard, plunged headlong into the well,
distance of sixty feet. She was almost immedi.
ately missed, and search made for her in the
neighborbood and along the Basin bank, but be,
body was not discovered for some hours, when
life was, of course, extiuct-the probability being
that she was almost instantly killed by the fall.
Judge Mccarthy, acting coroner in the absence
of DIR. Little, examined the body, but deemed no
inquest necessary.
DR.. Fairfax. WHO was the family physician Of
Mr. James Green, the husband of the deceased, in.
forms us that Mrs. Green was much deranged in
mind during her illness, and, fearing that some
accident might occur, he had warned the family
against leaving her alone, advice which they scru.
pulously and faithfully observed.
Mrs Green was highly respected by all who
knew her. and leaves husband and eight children
to mourn her lamentable fate.-Richmond Er.

ries fail to convict the parties; it is further
shown that this unlawful traffic makes food
dearer in places where large numbers are de-
pending upon public and private bounty; that
the Government is besides, deirauded OF large
