streams as large rs . pipe-stem. We
never knew Of moro water falling, in
the shape of rain, in the same period.

SUrcIDE.-On Tuesday morning q man
by the name of l.. Labat committed sui
eide in the building adjoining the

days ago his partner went below for the
purpose Of purchasing goods, some Of,
which had already arrived. He bor-
rowed the weapon with which he COM
mitted the act on the day previous,
stating that he was going away from
town for n few days. Before committing
the dreadful act he dressed himself In
his best and put q kid glove on his left
hand. He left a note stating that the
decd was premeditated, be having been
thinking Of 1t for some 10 years, He
left some cigars with q request that each
one who should call to see his body
should receive one, also some ins liquor
to be drank. He had formerly been in
business in New Orleans, aud was quite
wealthy. The deed was accomplished
by putting the pistol against his right

Of his head vas blown of. The ball
passed out about two inches from the
left eye, and lodged in the wall of the
building. He was a Frenchman, aud
