Mary Lawler, q young and attrscnve married
lady, committed suleide by drowning herself
under the following circumstances
For some time past, Mr.. and Mrs. Lawler
have been visited by a cousin Of Mrs. Lawier,
young lady, yet unmarried 1t has been the
custom OF HI. IaWler after TEA, to escort the
young ladv to her home The cousins visits
became moro and more FREQ uent and still, as
psnal, MT. Lawler played the gallant when the
hour of departure arrived. The last visit was
made on Monday evening. The husband es.
torted his cousin.in law home rs was his GUS
tom. As he left the house, his wife told him
that she would probably not be in when he re-
turned home, but he would find the key on the
Eindow-sill Soon after the couple left, Mrs
Iawler went 20 the nearest drug store and
nrst tried 10 buy laudanum, next arsenic
both OF which were refused her. When the
door wide open, circumstance which he
thought quite singular, in view Of what his
wife had previously said 10 him. She acted
strangely, and approaching her, he told her
there was no ground for her suspicion, and
that he had simply intended 70 be polite to her
cousin. She seemed satisfied, and they retired
In the morning Mr. Lawler awoke and found
his wife absent from his side, the door opened,
and the clock stopped. He searched inside the
house and out, but found her not. He contin-
ued looking until day-break, when a neghbor
coming for wafer, discovered her in the cistern,
drowned. There was piece Of paper on her
person bearing the words, do nothing to my

The hand. writing was compared with other
notes she had Written. and was found TO be her
own. An inquest was held, and a verdict OF
suicide was rendered. The maiden name of
the deceased was Mary Schmidt. She was
married about half a year ago. Her husband
