Suicide Of an Old Man iu UpShur
County.

Correspondence Of the Weston Democrat.
PECXs Run, UPsnuR Co., W. Va, |
April Both, 1871.
On last Saturday, the Goth inst, u Mr..
Charles A. Queen, aged seventy Years,
living at Rural Dale, In this county, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself to u
tree near his house. lie ate his dinner,
rs usual, shaved himself, and although Of
times appeared somewhat dernnged, was
unusually cheerful, and in u few hours
after his body was found hanging to Il
tree.
Having led very dissipatcd lite, be
came 10 the conclusion that be was lost
TO all future happiness. and during teul.
porary at Of insanity, committed the
dreadful deed.
To those believing in tokens OF Coming
events, communicate the following facts:
A young man, who boarded with the
old gentleman for sometime, states
that at various times he heard Unusual
noises about the house during the night,
which seemed like some one had thrown
on tho floor u load OF plank; then the
plank appeared 10 slide over the roof Of
the porch and fall with heavy thud to
the ground. On one occasion he arose
and went out to investigate the cause, but
without success. On returning, The old
gentleman told him not to be ALARMED, rs
he had heard tho same noises for some
length Of time; but could assign no cause
from whence they came.

Government Securities.

Government securities, without marked
activity, have been very firm In prices and
advanced on some issues rs much as II
per cent. At the government purchase Of
Five!Twcnlies on the Goth ult.. the price
paid for large portion OF the bonds WINS
higher than par in gold, MI event which
was commented upon with considerable
interest among the leading dealers in gov
ernmcnis! The new 3 per cent l0an made
very little progress during April, chiefly
owing to the circumstance that the bonds
arc not yet ready for delivery, and TO IN
apparent lack Ol enthusiasm among the
very numerous agents who are authorized
to receive subscriptions to the loan. II
llas generally been supposed that Secrc'
tary Boutwell, intended to wait until the
first Of May, and SEQ what progress
should be made up to that time,
and then make any changes In bis
arrangements which might seem desira'
bic; rs yet, however, no material changes
have been announced. The relative PO'
sition Of Government finances is stronger
than at any previous time-FivG- Twen'
ties have sold above par in gold, the re-
duCtion OF debt Tor the year ending May
|, reaches about $llS,060O00, chiefly by
the purchase Of FiVC.Twenties, and new
five per cent bonds have also been nego'
tiatcd to the extent Of 500 0OO, 900, so that
the whole amount Of Fivc.TwGnties with
drawn or provided for in that year, would
be about $lGO,OOO,OOO, With this rapid
reduction Of the o per cent bonds out
standing, there seems every probability
that the new tivcs will, before long, sell al
par in gold, us tho inherent strength Of
tho situation is all that could DC desired
Tor stimulating great confidence In the
further improvement Of our Government
credit.

THE most amusing confidence game
that modern ingenuity ami desperation
ever invented was recently played of in
England, by an elderly gentleman who
had run out OF his property, and had 20
real resources LEFT for the elegant support
that his nature Craved. Having the rcprl.
tation still Of being u rich man, he made
his will, distributed generous sums around
among his friends and relatives, ana civ.
ing large requests to benevolent societies.
T6ereupon, taking care that his liberal in.
tentions should be known, he came into
great favor with the aforesaid friends and
relatives, and the order Of philanthroplstS,
and lived around at their homes q vel
come guest, even condescendiDg TO die ut
one Of these free homes. A funeral fitting
the great expectations was provided for
him, and then the win opened. This turn
ed out according to promise. But when
the estate came to be administered upon,
1t was totally minus The man had not

From Saturdays New York Post. ....
A singular fact was discovered yester-
day in the investigation OF the reputed
error in tho return OF tho Fourth Ward
OF New Haven by IL legislative commit
Ice. The return gave Governor English
7lS votes, while tho Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature Ind only 0lS.
This difference was remarkable, because
one candidate for representative, Dir.
Charles II. IngeBoll, is one OF the most
popular Democrats in the city; because
the difference was just one hundred, which
was the number placed In each package
OF ballots; and because the total vote ex-
ceeded by ono hundred the number Of
names checked on the poll list
The committee OF the legislature yes
terday found that tho poll.boX had been
in the clerks office since the day Of cleo
ton, locked with common lock and un-
sealed. Upon opening it the democratic
ballots were found rs returned, but two
Packages of the votes for Governor Jewell
were found to contain only fifty ballots
each, making the total number one hun
dred less than the return called Tor. Thus
there are 479 votes for Governor Jewell,
while the Republican representative tick.
ct has $40 votes. To make this 0isCrepan-
cy more remarkable, there was II memo
randum on the box showing that the Re-
publican straight tickets" cast ST., or
only two less than the whole number Of
ballots.

Meeting Of Residents Along the R0nu
to PROTEST Against the Appoint.
meut Of Mr.. LunsiOrd,
Alta public meeting held at tie Two
Mile House on Monday evening, May 9Th,
George DoWncy was called to the chair
temporarily, who stated the object OF the
meeting, when on motion Of Mr.. Downey,
John Z0eckler was called TO the chair,And
DR.. j. E. Webb appointed secretary. The
President appointed Powell Wharton,
George DOwney, and DR.. a. A. Allison
b Committee on Resolutions, who retired
and in q short time returned andrepOrted
the following resolutions
ReSolCbd, That VIC, citizens md toll.
payers Of Ohio county, hear with aston.
ishmeDt and surprise that the Board Of
Public Works Of West Virginia, have ap-
pointed Lewis LunsIord Superintendent
Of the National Road, because the ap-
pointment Is in violation Of the wish Of
nine. tcnths otthC people on the National
Road. But on the other hand, nine.tenths
OF the tOli.payers on the road have ex.
pressed their wish Tor a different appoint
mcnt.
And We are still more surprised at the
Outrage the said LunstOrd has committed
upon the wish Of the people, and the in
terest orthc toIl.payers, in removing Jas.
Ferret from the middle gate, collector
who has rendered entire satisfaction
to all with whom he has had
to do, and not only so, but the said
LunsIOrd has made this change not only
in violation Of public opinion, but as we
believe in palpable violation Of law.
And over and above all, this the said
james Ferrel bas paid over from $500 to
$4,000 more than dny other gate keeper,
and he Inns paid over $4,000 more in one
year than the largest amount Mr.. McCon-
mel ever paid during the years he kept the
gate heretofore.
The President then appointed three
delegates to d meeting to be held on Sat-
urday, May 18Th, for the purpose Of pro-
testing against the appointment Of Lewis
Lunsford, and asking that bis appoint
ment be revoked.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
