| Suicide.

A young man, named Edward
Miller, Swede, committed suicide in
this city on Thursday evening last. by
shooting himself. He was for q
time engaged in Lyman & Sons boot and
shoe store, from which he was discharged on
account of incorporate habits. From here
he went to Racine and there procured stu
alton, but we are told. that his employer
learning of his unsteady habits discharged him
and he returned to this city, where in fit
of dependency he put an end to his. exist
ence. We are told that he was young man
| of good natural abilities and possessed of a
liberal education. and that his people across
the ocean in Sweden are of the most respect
able. He is but an other added to the long
list of vlctims which that Unsuitable monster
and demon, Alcohol" has swept from orr
land. Young raen, you who think It smart
| to get drunk--who think 1t sounds cute to
have it said yon have been on a ''tare''-and
there not few just such In Kenosha, honest
and industrious boys ordinarially, yet to go
on an occasional ''bender,'' is thought to
be rare fun and nothing particularly wrong.
you are in danger; a stranger in a strange
land may yet be your portion, and the vile
habit which is now excused as only youth
! full folly will then be judged less leniently,
and consequences even as appalling as this
may follow.

mother residing Carlskrona. Sweden.

Although they feel their Importance, and do

they DO not contribute much to the production

quantities of both But, unfortunately, peace
does not exist. Tennessee to-day is more dis

factions in the State entirely distinct from any
