IN NEW YoRK.-WiIliam L. Mitchell who
with his brothers Caleb and George, formerly
kept the KIRBY House in this city, committed
suicide in his Prince street saloon, In New
York city, last Saturday night. On Sunday
morning the barkeeper found Mitchell hanging
by his neck 10 one Of the faucets OF the liquor
casks that are piled In the rear Of the room. He
had been dead several hours, as the body was
cold. Mitchell had deliberately strangled
himself to death, for the height of the fame Z
from the floor would not afford space for falI.
The feet touching the floor gave the rats which
swarm the place, tull run over the body of the
man as soon ss lite had become extinct. The
body was found with its nose and ears eaten
off and one OF the eyes eaten out. The raven
Gus vermin had attempted TO fas ten their teeth
In the flesh elsewhere. He is said to have be n
worth bet ween S2O0,c00 and 80 OCOO. As he has
not been suspected Of stock or gold gambling,
it is not supposed that any reverse drove him
to suicide. He leaves a wife and four or Ave
children.
