SUICIDE OF BoY.-A boy about four
teen years old was found dead hanging by
the neck in the barn of Ezekiel Fols, about
mile from New Castle, on Friday the
11th, inst. An inquest was held by Cor

as verdict, death by hanging, from
causes unknown" He had used plow
lines, which he had tied to the rafters,
and then jumped from beam or joist.

on Thursday. He lived with Mr.. Fols,
who had that day whipped him with a
switch, and it was thought that he had
run away until his body was found.-Wl-
