An Unknown Nan browns Himself.

Why it is SO, can hardly be told, but it
seems that instead of diminishing, the sui
eide mania is on the increase. Good strong
reasons are offered TO show why men com
nit the dreaded act Of taking their own lives.
but none are exactly satisfactory. Hard
times, family troubles, pecuniary losses, and
a multitude of causes are assigned, but the
problem is still an unsolved one.
One more unfortunate human being has
added his name to the long list Of those who
have died by their own hands during the
past wear The facts are as follows:
The largest air hole on The other side OF
the river is Immediately at the foot Of Rock
Island street. /, is about twenty five feet
wide and one hundred and fifty long. The
current rushes along here like mill race
and strong swimmer could hardy make
his escape if once in the water.
About O'Clock this morning, Mr.. David
Daffer. who lives on the corner of Rock
Island and Front streets, was building fire
in a room that looks out upon the river,
when his attention was arrested by the
movements of man who went past the
house. The individual was going at a
swinging pace almost run-snd did
not once slacken his walk in the least, but
held straight on, across the shore
ice to the verge of the black hole,
and without moments hesitation, plung-
ed in. Mr.. Dsffer says this was done so
quickly that no human effort would have
been of avail. Mrs. Davis, an inmate of
the house, saw the man after be had jumped
in. He came to the surface several times,
aud then, with fearful rapidity, was dashed
against the ice for a moment, and then
drawn under, out of sight. The man is de.
scribed as tall, rather spare, dressed in
black suit, black overcoat and cap. He was
also seen by one or two other persons,
whose accounts correspond cireums,sn
TALLY with that of the above men
toned family. Who or what he was
cannot be determined at thi. writing. Va.
rious reports were in circulation as to the
identity of the man, but these flying rumors
were without foundation. 1t was suicide
without doubt as the unfortunate man made
no effort whatever to save himself.

Saturday, March 10, 1870.

The utility Of orchards is I'M
disputed, and our people are
beginning to turn their atten-
ton to planting them. We be-
lieve that lift two or three nurse
ries were established in North
Louisiana they would be profit
able sosoon as they were ready
to furnish plants. Although
many trees and plants can be
got from Northern and West
ern nurseries valuable to us
here, yet the trees and plants
most suitable to our climate
could certainly be raised here
cheaper than at the North. Be-
sides a near market is cheaper
than a distant one, other things
being equal.
Many plants raised at the
North are real exotics here, al
though our orchardists are per-
paually trying to raise them.
All the cherries, currants,
goose berries and plums that
we get from thence are insult
ed to our climate. Besides some
of our most valuable fruit trees
are not propagated North at
all, as the pomgranate, fig and
scuppernong.
Asa proof of the profitable
ness ofnurseries here, we can
cite to the case of Mr.. J. Sidney
.Kaillen, who has a smallnursery
near Minden, He informs us
that he has already sold all the
plants he will have twelve
months before they are to be
delivered.
