On Thursday last. company of in
fantry of tho eighteenth regiment passed
here on their way to Yorkville, aud on
Saturday morning two companies of
cavalry left here for the same destina-
ton. When the artillery and siege
trains are to move to the front, we are not
advised. The force at YorkvilIe now
consists of three companies Of cavalry
and two of infantry ry-aggregating, we
suppose, not loss than 200 men. Ono

Sheriff of the County. could make all
the arrests that are drawn on the bills
for that County rs safely and as effectu-

TWO SUICIDES.
A sad Ending of Two Young Lives.


Twelve weeks ago yesterday George Henry
Starr age 10, son OF the well-knoWn micro
scopist, Alfred A. Starr, committed suicide at
his parents residence, No. 67 Morton street, by
taking laudanum. Broodiug over religious
questions had rendered him occasionally insane,
and in one of these paroXysms he ended his
life. Alfred Garoway, aged %, a boarder at
Mr.. STAIRS house, was firm friend of young
Starr, and was with him on the evening pre-
vious to his DEATH In fact, the friends were
on the way home when Starr requested his
companion to wait for him few moments,
and going to drug store in Sixth avenue he
purchased, unknown to Garoway, the poison,
which he took short time after reaching
home.
The death of Starr exercised a very depressing
effect on Garoway, who finally exhibited symp-
toms of insanity, and was removed to the
BloomiDgdale Lunatic Asylum. After remain
ing there a short time, his reason appeared to
be completely restored, and he was again re-
ceived as a boarder by Mr.. Starr, and had since
shown no marked symptoms of insanity. On
Saturday evening he seemed to be in his usual
spirits, and retired soon after 10 o'clock. About
z A. NJ, yesterday one of the inmates of room
adjoining that OF Garoway heard sounds of dis
tress proceeding from the room of the latter
Mr.. Starr was called, and forcing the door he
found Garoway insensible and exhibiting all the
symptoms of poisoning. Drs. O'Neal and Deni-
son were summoned, but too late to be of any
avail, and death occurred about an hour after
On the table near the bed was found a sheet of
paper, on which was penciled in Garoway's
clear, bold hand, although without signature
"Do not use the cup in which is my tooth
brush" An empty ounce vial, labelled "Sul-
phate of morphine" was also on the table.
Coroner Young held an inquest over the body
last evening. DR.. Marsh made q poSt-nlOrtem
examination, and found that death had resulted
from taking large quantity of morphine, and
a verdict in accordance with the facts was rem
dered. The deceased is said to have been of a
pleasant disposition; and, like his friend Starr,
gave promise of life of usefulness. He was
employed for a short time as a reporter on the
World but for several months before his death
was engaged as clerk for a relative of Mr.. Starr.
