A Sad StorY-Sickness, Death, Suicide.

- NNAA HfhFH ~
From tho Columbus (ohio) state journal. Dec. 10 ]
About four weeks ngo Rev. +. Romines,
of the Dutch Reformed Church, came to
this city from Albany, New York, to act as
the District Secretary of the American
Colonization Society. His wife was in
poor health, and, az her relatives feared,
partially insane. II was thought the trip
and change of scene would benefit her,
and she accompanied him, as did her FIVE
children, II girl about fourteen years OF
age, and four boys, younger.
They located in n house on Town street,
lust beyond Sixth. Before their furniture
was in place, the four boys we're taken sick
W th tho scarlet fever, and the youngest
died with disease on Friday last. Mrs.
Romines became worse, and Mr.. Rominos,
with constant watching, became i'll. The
family wero strangers in the city, but their
misfortuues made them many friends, who
gave all possible attention. The remains
of the boy were inferred on Monday, and
tho sadness of the home, with husband
and father Frustrated, and three boys dan
gerously sick, seemed most complete.
The children were pronounced better on
Wednesday, and on Thursday the nurse
was allowed n short leave of absence. The
ministers of tho different churches and
others had paid frequent visits to the home
TO encourage and comfort, and though the
lady of the house seemed heart-broken
over her boys death and her husbands ill
moss, still nothing worse than her " ill
ness was anticipated, Yesterday the city
was startled by the announcement that
Mrs. Margaret Romines had committed
suicide by hanging, and the saddest chap
ter was yet TO be told. II seems that the
lady had been much agitatod by the recent
o ,currences, and yesterday, about o'clock
left her husbands bedside, went into a
room near, locked the door on the inside,
and, making use Of n small rope, hanged
herself. The rope was fastened to some
hooks in the wall, and she had apparently
jumped from a chair. In about half an
hour her absence was noted, and search
made for her. The door was broken open
and the lifeless body found hanging as de-
scribed above.
Mr.. Romines, on hearing the commotion,
sprang from his bed and ran into the room
in time 10 receive the ~lifeless remains OF
his wife as tho rope was cut. He loosenod
the ROPE and carried the body TO tho Other
room. seeming almost frantic. MIR. Lame,
Rev. Mr.. Robertson, Mr.. Taylor and 9th
ers, rendered such assistance as could be
given, but in n home 30 stricken little could
DO said 10 calm or to comfort.
Coroner Gaver held mn inquest, the jury
returning tho verdict death by hanging,
while in n state of partial arrangement.
The agitation of the husband was terrible
and resulted in a %spasmodic attack. The
scene of the ~lifoless mother, frantic father
and sick children, can better DO imagined
than described.
The flmily last night received every pos
sible attention from neighbors and lrionds
Their relatives had started from Alban,
yesterday TO visit them, andare expected 4
arrive to-day. Mr.. Romines was easier
last night, and it is thought the boys vii
still continue TO improve.

Every era in tho world's history has been
marked by some important event. The gon-
eral march OF tho human race Is onward, yet
at timoa in the histories of nations as well as
individuals, all hopes and aspirations seem
en- seloped in despair. Tho bright star that
indicated tho birth Of the founder of the
Christian ora was no truor TO its purpose
than will be he who h1lds tho dostinios OF
worlds in his hands TO supply our necessities
when we stand in greatest need, providing,
always that we comply with the requisite
conditions to obtain those blessings. As a
nation, we have departed from tho laws
which are requisite for the maintenance of
health and happiness. aud in consequence Of
this every periodical in the land IL teeming
with advertisement Of nostrums, promising
to euro all tho ailments that mankind Ia heir
to. In the face an oyos OF those glaring as
sertions, we find, for instance, that con-
sumption, catarrh, bronchitis, whooping
cough and their kindred diseases arc terri
bly, on tho increase. How often and how
truthfully il it said that those diseases that
eliminate in consumption and that ia con.
signing it's thousands annually TO premA-
turo graves, arc to-day without a prac-
tical and cfioctual remedy. But in
tho midst Of our darkest hour, there
comes forth from a remote city Of the great
west, n preparation composed Of the active
principles Of herbs and plants, a remedy des-
tined to removo all cases Of incipioRt con-
sumption and furnish greater roiief in con-
firmod CAGES than the world has realized be-
fore in all other remedies combined. On ac-
count of the rapidly increasing popularity Of
