ATTEMPTED SUIClDG,-On Mon.
day evening last, us couple of la
borers were returning from their
work, at which they had been de-
layed until after dusk, they were
passed by woman just beyond the
Hub and Spoke factory, on the
pike. She appeared in a great hur-
ry, and had her face covered by a
veil, and her actions so impressed
them with the idea that something
was wrong, that they turned and
followed her, at a respectful dis
tance. She did not 90 far, but
turned off to the left, got over the
fence and hurried over the green
slope between the fence and the.
Scioto river, At this point the
mfn lost sight of her, and by the
time they reached the fence, it was
dark. They paused to listen, and
were startled by loud scream of
agony, and fastening to the spot
from whence the sound proceeded,
the woman was discovered on the
ground, at the foot of the bluff,
apparently in great pain. They
found that she had broken an arm
and bruised herself otherwise. 1t
appears that she made the leap
over the bank, some twenty feet,
with the intention of drowning her
self. But the back water having
all receded, she struck compare
alvely dry ground. She was ac-
C c)mpanied to her home, and is
now perfectly rational, and it is to
be hoped, thankful for her escope
from a sudden death. We sup
press all names, by request

OHIO INTEREST LAW.

For the benefit Of our readers,
who may not know Just what the
interest laws of Ohio are, we will
state that an act was passed by tie
General Assembly, May 4th, 1859
allowing parties TO pay on contract
"auy rate not exceeding eight per
centum, payable annually" When
no rate is stated, only six per cent.
can be collected. The penalty for
taking a higher rate than the law
allows is only the excess Of inter-
est over the legal rate, as may be
seen BY the following act passed
February is, 1850;
Be it enacted BY The General As
ssm5ly Of the State Of Ohio; that
in all actions for the recovery of
money, hereafter prosecuted in the
courts Of this State, all payments
OF money or property made by way
of usurious interest, whether made
in advance or not shall be deemed
and taken, as to the excess of in
terest above the rate allowed by
law at the time Of making the con
tract, to be payments made on ac.
count of principal, and the said
Court shall render judgment for no
more than the balance found due
after deducting the excess Of inter
est so paid; nor shall any debtor
he deemed pdrticepS crimfnfs on
account OF having paid, or having
agreed to pay, such exhorbltant in
terest. but shall have like remedy
and relief in either eases. Provid
ed thatno bonn fde indorser of ne
gotiable paper purchased before
due shall be effected by any usury
cuacted by any former holder Of
such yaper, unless he shall have ac-
taal notice of the usury previously
to his purchase. But the amount
of snch excess incorporated into
negotiable paper may,in such cases,
actor payment, be recovered back
by action against the party origin
ally exacting the usury in any Court
of common jurisdiction.

Lay Delegation in the M. q.
Church.

BY dispatches received at the Of
flee of the Western Christian Ad-
yocate, Saturday afternoon, from
Rockland, the place Of setting OF
the East Maine Conference of tho
M. Il. Church, it appears that on
final revision OF the vote in the
Maine Conference, there were SO
ayes and 81 nays for lay represen-
tation, instead of As ayes and SO
nays, as at first reported. Thevote
in the East Maine Conference, Sat
urday, was 43 ayes and IA nays,
which, added to the votes of the
seventy conferences previously
cast, gives an aggregate of 6,4S9
ministerial votes, Of which 4,903
are ayes and 1856 nays. As three
fourths Of all the votes cast are
necessary to the success Of lay del
egation in the church, it will be
observed that the pressure is car
ried with 364 votes to spare. Ihus,
three c-fourths of 6,4s9-the whole
lis $500 from 4,00S-the affirm
alive vote--leaves S6t One con-
ference, the Germany and Switzer-
land, is yet to sit--June 10. Bish-

has about 40 Voting members, so
that if only vote aye, the measure
is carried. But the strong proba'
