SUICIDE OF A Young LADY.-The
Perry Adeocate and Press gives the fol-
lowing account of the suciie of Miss Fa
gely, which we referred to last week:
On Friday morning of last week our
citizens were startled by the announce
ment that young lady by the name Of
l.. F. Fagely. resident Of Sudbury,
Northumberland county, Pa. but who
had been attending school at The Bloom
field Academy for nearly two months,
had committed suicide by drowning.
From all sources, we CLEAN the follow
ing fac.s in this sad case After supper
at the Academy, aud about 81 o'clock.
several Of the young ladies prepared to
take walk some 5f them came down
to town, while Miss Fasely started out
on the road leading across the rid ye.-
Later in the evening. Miss Fagely not
returning or making her appearance at
the Academy. number OF the young
ladies walked ou. the road with the in
tention of meeting her and accompany
ing her back to the Academy. They re-
turned soon after without having seen
her. Some of the young gentlemen
students at the Academy then started
ont, and meeting young Mr.. Clark he
informed them that he had seen young
lady passing along tie road. They con-
,inued their search for some time. bat
not finding her. returned to the Academy.
Her prolonged absence, and the futile
search of the other parties alarmed Pro-
fessor Dill and VIM Grier. Esq. pro-
prietor of the Academy, when about 10
o'clock they came down to town and pro-
cured horses and several men TO aid in
their search for the missing young lady.
Starting out on the road over the rid ye.
back of the Academy, they searched the
woods along the road until they reached
lIensel's aud Clouser's-about l. miles
from Bloomfield. A daughter of the late
Simon Clouser said that she had noticed
young lady coming down the road, but
on looking again che had turned and was
going back on the road toward town
Three of the Clouser boys came out and
assisted in the search wi h lantern, and
one of them walking around small
pond, near an old coal hearth discovered
handkerchief hanging on twig. In
examini g the handkerchief, he found the
name of Miss Fasely OH it. He called
the others, and they coming back search
ed around, and finally. about 3 o'clock
on Friday morning, discovered the body
of Miss Fagely in the pond, lying with
the face up-desd. The pond was hard
ly more than Is inches deep. and is dry
after the snow has disappeared Her
body was taken out and brought to the
Academy, and on Friday afternoon
John L. Shuler, Esq. empanneled F B
Clouser, Vim. Wills, C. Roth, e. Sparh
ID. Mickey and VIM Burns as a jury,
who held an inquest and rendered YER
dict that Miss Fasely came to her death
by drowning, and was the result of her
own act
Miss Fagely was about % years of
age, of quiet and amiaole disposition
and had been attending school at this
place since the llth of January last
She left no note or reason for commit
ting the rash act, and it is supposed that
it was done during temporary abbera-
ton of the mind. She had no parents
living, and her friends at Sunbury were
to, and came on. on Satur-
day morning and took her remains back
