A new mode Of suicide has been dis,
covered by an eatcrprisiag Westerner.
He was travelling aud game TO farm
where they were threshing out grain,
and going to the barn yard, began talk,
ing to some Of the men at WORK, telling
them he used to work with machine,
whereupon be asked leave To drive
His request was granted, and after a
short spell he asked if he might not
feed the machine. 1t was quite appa.
rent that he was well acquainted with
threshing; and having fed for soma
time he looked around at the driver
with nod, siguifying that he yapted
more power. Standing still till the
cylinder was flying and buzziug around
with greatly increased speed aud every
one becoming alarmed at the awful
motion, he jumped head first sgainst
the teeth OF the cylinder and 10 less
than az instant he was completely
threshed. No one knew him and there
were no papers on his person BY which
he could be identified.

The Radical papers are growing over
victory for their party in South Car

the regular Republicans and Union
Reformers, the Democrats having made
no nominations. If the Republicans
have succeeded, they have elected three
negroes and one white man TO Congress.
Ought white men feel like growing over
