SUICIDE IN WALLINGFoRD.-W learn
ed last evening of sad case of suicide in
Wallingford. Sometime during the aft.
ternoon of Sunday the wife of Mr. Jer-
ONE Hilliard, well known citizen OF
Wallingford, was seen to leave her house,
and soon after was found, by her husband,
drowned in Otter Creek, which was dis.
tant some thirty or forty rods from the
house. She was between fifty and sixty
years of age, and leaves some five or six
children.
A messenger arrived here about z pm,
for the purpose of conveying the sad in
telligence to one of her daughters who
was temporarily stopping here. Mrs
billiard placed letter on the table in
the house before leaving, but when he left
Wallingford its contents had not been as.
certained, but as her relation to her hus.
band and family had always been of the
most pleasant character, there is no
doubt but that she must have been in
sane.
LATER.
Since the above was in tyye we learn
that the note mentioned above was dis
covered by the familybefore the absence
of Mrs. Hilliard was particularly noticed.
It seems that Mr.. billiard came into the
house and enquired for his wife, and was
informed that she had gone out, and prob
ably gons to one of the neighbors, when
he said to one of the children that they
had better go after her. When in pre-
pairing to go note was found upon the
table in, or nearly in, the following
words;
"Life is a burden TO me, children. Be
kind to your father, for he has always
been kind to me-"
Which being read, Mr.. billiard, &C
companied by one of his children, i'm
mediately went in the direction she was
seen to go, which also lead to the creek,
and the body was found as before stated.
We understand that Mrs. billiard was
niece of the late Gov. Slade.
