Transmission OF Mental Disease.

DR.. Charles Elan, an English physician,
has just published book in which medical
problems are discussed. OF the trAnamis-
sion of mental disorders, he says;
There is no form Of heritage more re-
markable than that Of the tendency to sui.
eide without any other marks Of alteration
of intellect. DR.. Winslow relates the case of
family where all the members exhibited,
when they arrived at q certain age. q desire
to commit Gelf-destruction; to accomplish
which, the greatest ingenuity and industry
were manifested. DR.. Gall relates q very
striking instance Of seven children of one
man who all enjoyed competency and
good health, yet all possessed rage for
suicide, and all yielded to it within thirty
or forty years. ''aome hanged, some
drowned themselves, and others blew cut
their brains." Many other examples of the
same tendency are brought forward by the
same writer. I may add one case to the
above from my own experience. Sitting
one day with nh acquaintance, noticed
some depression in his spirits. After pro-
longed silence, he broke out into the fol-
lowing dreary attempt at conversation:
s'My grandfather hung himself, my uncle
took poison, my father shot himself shall
cut my throat" The facts were correct;
but constant surveillance prevented the
sequel in his own history.

One of the worst cases OF crime that has
ever TRANSFERRED in our midst, or. indeed,
that has ever come under my notice, ia
that of Methodist clergyman by the
name Of Washington W. WEIGH. who 10
now under arrest and examination before

with having committed rape upon the per-
son Of Louisa J. Green, wife of Elder O.

abouts, unusual publicity has already been
given to II, and there is NO reason why the
facts as they are alleged. or as they appear,
should not DO legitimate matter for publ

It seeEs that the defendant, Welch, met
aud became acquainted with Elder Green
in Pennsylvania, where he, WEIGH, resided,
and being a man of some property, and
having ready money to invest, was induced
by Green to visit Holly for that purpose.
He came here some time last spring, be-
came acquainted with Elder Whitcomb,
then pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in this village, and divided his
time in visiting among them. It is stated
that he and Elder Green were associated in
certain business transactions, and Welch
himself claims that Green owes him So, 600.
When WEIGH left here on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER last. he had, previous to that time,
been stopping for some timo at Elder
Green's house, about six miles from this
village, in the northwest part of the town,
