SINGULAR DEATH FROM STARVATION. An
estimable lady was buried few days since
from the residence of n relative in the
southern part Of the city, whose death was
the result Of voluntary starvation. The
unfortunate lady lost her husband ten or
twelve years ago. This domestic affliction
preyed upon her mind until she became
melancholy, and finally, within the last
two or three years, insane--her insanity

lucination On all other subjects she was
perfectly sane About nix weeks ago she
Jumped from ferry boat at South street
wharf into the river, but was rescued by
police officer. She was taken TO the South
wark Police Station House, and after being
recognized, was removed TO her residence.
About three weeks before her denth she re-
fused to eat anything, under the imp ression
that she was not fit 10 live. Her friends
did everything in their power to induce
her TO relinquish this idea, but she steadily
refused. She gradually declined, becom-
ing weaker and weaker, and finally died on
Thursday last For the first two weeks Of
her self.starvation she was quite cheerful
on all ordinary subjects, excepting upon

SUDDEN DEATH.-Seldom has it been
| our unpleasant duty to chronicle the death
of one SO POPULAR SO young, end whose
short career has been so brilliant as that OF
our esteemed citizen J. NJ. Riddick, who,
as it were, has just commenced to let the
bud of life expand into the beauty of tn e
rose, when suddenly death claimed him as
his own-and to day he lies cs cold as
marble; all of those noble attributes that
went to make him the kind and courteous
gentleman that he was, now lives only in
the memory of lis host of friends.
At the commencement of the war this
young man Joined the Old Dominion
Guards, where he served several months as
private, after which he was transferred to
the 3ith N. G. Regiment where he was
promoted to a second Lieutenant, then to
/ an Adjutant; in that capacity he ser we'd a
few months ere he was placed on the staff
of General Scall's Brigade of N. c., as his
A. A. G., which place he filled for long
time. AT the close of the war we find him
in the same capacity on the staff Cen
offs. G. Since the close OF the war he has
been in our city gaining the admiration of
all who knew him. We offer our coincidence
with his bereaved family. His funeral
will take place this morning. The mem-
bers ofthe o d. G. are requested to ata
tead.

ANOTHER HEAVY Foa.-Our harbor and
cities were again overspread yesterday
morning with very heavy smoke--we say
smoke, for it appeared too dry for fog
which obstructed easy navigation in the
harbor. 1t was rather late in the day be-
fore it cleared off. We are rather puzzled
to know whether it is fog or the smoke from
the Dismal Swamp fire, though if our read,

both. 49,.

Where is Drake S. T. 1860 X?'' We have
heard this question asked many times,
and for all we knew for a year past he
might be dead. Recently in New York,
we called at his Laboratory in Liberty

barricaded behind a tremendous pile of

School Committee. Our business was to
secure an advertisement. He said 2" My
