ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE. A
Young man, whose name we learn is
William Warren, only about twenty
eight years ofage, and who has followed
the business of q teamster, attempted to
suicide by shooting himself in
the breast with II pistol, last evening,
Main street, Gold Hill. The ball en-
tered the right breast, and passed along
inside of the breast bone, and
under the arm-pit. 1t was
thought, last night at IL o'clock, that
he would not live, but at 4 O'Clock this
morning Dr.. Hall extracted the ball,
and the would-be-suicide is now doing
and is likely to recover-we
honestly hope-and be n better
Mr.. Warren has been II steady and hard
working man, in the employ of Mr.. Van
Gorder; but be has been addicted to
that abominable vice Of gambling, and
his money. Just before he made
the attempt on his life last night he
had gambled off his last dollar and he
then boldly announced that he inten-
ded to kill himself; but those who
heard him supposed his threats to be all
fustian, bombast'; aud in less than FIVE
minutes he shot himself, the deed being
perpetrated in front Of Haas i Co.'S
store. After he fired he fell down and
was carried by persons who knew him
down to Russell's Hotel, where he was
placed on a bed, u doctor called, and it
was supposed he would die before morn
ing. But he is alive, and is likely to
recover.

JOKE on HARRIs.-Mr Harris, the
assayer in Gold Hill, is proverbially the
jokist and puuist of this town. In fact,
he has been pronounced by Charley
Watson and Charley Denny n perfect
aurora 6ors-aiis of a joker, but this
morning Sexton Hamlin got after him,
and got off the best joke on Harris we
have heard for a year. Harris has
"treated" twice, if we would refrain
from telling on him. If he repeats Sc
eral times more on the "social,'
will certainly gush the joke.
