Melancholy Suicide of Young Cana

The suicidal mania seems to be on the in
crease and we have another instance OF the fact
to record to-day. About 10 o'clock last night
Arthur Mowbray, native of Canada, twenty
two years of age, and residing at No. 81 Clinton
place, returned home from visit to Kelly d
Icons minstrel performance, at No. 72O Broad
way. There he had gone with some of the female
Having but just returned from an extended visit
to his relatives in Drummondville, Canada West,
Mr.. Mowbray seemed to be in excellent spirits,
and in no mood for sudden entry into the
other world. A few minutes after reaching his
boarding-house the misguided young man re-
tired to his room, whence issued the report OF a
pistol scarce ten minutes later, when it was
ascertaned that he had shot himself through
the heart, death ensuing in a few seconds.
When our reporter visited the house at mid.
night, he found the deceased in third story bed
room, occupied by him while living. The body
was lying in bed just as he was found by those
entering the room after the shot was fired. De-
ceased had evidently partially undressed him
SELF removed his watch and money from his
pockets and laid them on the bureau hanging
up the clothing he had removed Having thrown
himself on the bed, Mowbray had placed the
muzze of a large-sized Sharpes revolver over
his heart and soon sent the fatal bullet through
that organ.
None of his friends could give any reasonable
motive for the commission of the rash act,
in a strange manner, having alarmed the family
by firing his revolver one night at fancied bur
glar. Their theory Is that he was temporarily
deTanged at the time, induced by over excite
ment, The inquest to-day will no doubt elicit
the real facts. The deceased was employed by
one of the ocean steamship lines in this city and
was highly respectfully Y. Times.

The adventurous little craft the John t. Ford,
from Baltimore to Paris via HaVre, came ashore
at Tacumshane, on the southern coast of this
county, this morning, and it is satisfactory to
have to state that her papers, which were en-
veloped in tin case, remain uninjurcd. The
vessel, notwithstanding the great knocking
about to which she has evidently been subjected,
still retains one mast standing, and her hull is
holding firmly together. This tiny craft is only
two and quarter tons burthen. Her measure
ment is 24'45 feet in length, 740 in breadth, and
2'45 in depth. She was rugged as a schooner,
had sharp stern and figure head.
The names of the crew, as returned in her
papers, are J. Stanley, first officer, B. d. Riddel
supercargo, and EdT ard Murphy, seaman. The
Masters name was Charles W. Gould.
The name of Andrew Armstrong, who Is the
only survivor, does not appear in the ships
papers, as it appears he did not belong to the
original crew, but was taken IN at Halifax,
where she put in for water in July last, when
one of her tanks became damaged. One of the
crew prudently left her at Halifax, and Arm
strong, who is fisherman, was engaged as a
substitute. She cleared from Baltimore on
June %, and from Halifax on July 16. Her
cargo consisted Of one box Of mattenel bitters,
16 Bottles.
The following note, written in ink on piece
of ruled paper, was picked up this morning by
Richard Mcbride, west of the Forlorn Point,
about ten miles westward of where the vessel
came ashore:-

a good party cry against the Imperial Govern
ment, and regrets that the cry Is met with ap-

The bolder would probably be the safer course;
but the first condition of true peace is disarma-
ment, and decree for the dismissal of soldiers
is worth any amount of speeches and notes.

Cholera on Board the Liverpool Steam
ship Minnesota.

Rumors were stioat in the city yesterday of
the prevalence or cholera on board the steam
ship Minnesota, OF the Liverpool and Great
Western Steam Company's Line, which arrived
at this port from Liverpool, via Queenstown, at
midnight on Monday of the present week. Upon
application to the authorities, it was ascertained
that the reports, although greatly exaggerated
in point of figures, were in the main correct.
The surgeon of the vessel states that on the
third day out from Queenstown, the sickness
broke out among the steerage passengers, most
of whom were Irish, and from that time until
the arrival of the steamer in New York the
disease continued its dread work among those
whose quarters were below the deck. The
symptoms were those usually attending the
cholera, except that there were no ''rice-watern
discharges in any instance. An eminent physi-
clan connected with our Board of Health is of
opinion that the sickness is simple cholera
molbus. Others believe it to be the British
cholera as they term it; while as many insist
that it is the genuine Asatic cholera, carried by
the Irish immigrants from their soil, where 1t
made its appearance recently.
The matter Is under investigation, however,
and the public will soon be officially informed
of the truth. Yesterday evening there were but
six cases of the sickness on the vessel, and it
was thought probable that none of these would
prove fatal. 1t will be seen by the subjoined
list of deaths that steerage passengers and the
fIemen OF the vessel were the only sufferers, all
the officers and those of the passengers and
crew who were above deck enjoying entire i'm
munity from the disease. The steamer is lying
at quarantine, and arrangements have been
made Tor the removal OF tne passengers ana Cne
speedy fumigation of the vessel and contents.
