Mr.. JAS P. Cowardin, the famous comical lee
the Court Room" in the town hall on last Thurs
day night. The audience although not very
large, was select, and they were kept in almost
one continuous roar of laughter. If laughing
possesses the property of making persons fat,
we expect to see quite large number of our cit
liens wonderfully improved in flesh since they
had the good fortune to hear Mr.. Cowardin' 5
lecture.
P. S.-Mr. Cowardin will repeat his lecture on
next Saturday night, in the Town Hall. Tickets

FATAL AccIDENT.-Mr L. Simbro, of Bells
Valley, Rockbridge County, Va, accidentally
shot himself, on Monday, the I'd inst, from the
wounds of which he died almost Immediately.
He was out with party hunting deer, and,
while on his stand short distance off from his
comrades, the discharge of his gun was heard,
and he was heard to hollow on arriving at the
spot his friends found him lying on the ground
in dying condition. Both barrels of his gun
were found to have been discharged, the con-
tents of which entered his left side ranging up
wards across his breast. It is supposed that his
gun slipped from a rock, the hammers OF both
barrels striking the rock, causing the explosion.
he was quiet, estimable young man, aged
about 20 years.

Death by Suicide.

CKNrRALIA, ILL.,. April 26.-A man
died this morning at the Mansion
House, in this city, from the effects Of
morphine taken yesterday for the pur-
pose of committing suicide. His name
appears on the hotel register as Thos.
Welch, although he afterwards wrote q
letter to the landlord in which he said
his real name was Horace Orhorrisse !;
that he had deliberately done the deed
and had come to Centralia for that pur-
pose; that his wife and one child had
died and misfortune had followed him
ever since, and his own greatest desire
would be that his friends should not
learn OF his whereabouts. 1t is sup
posed his probable residence has been
Toledo or Chicago. The greatest ef'
forts were made to save him, but with,
out avail. He leaves nothing at all in
the shape of baggage or clothing.

The Bonnet Carre Crevasse Enlarg.
Ing.

Sr. LOUIS, April ga dispatch
from New Orleans tonight says that it
is officially reported that Bonnet Care
Crevasse was fully twelve hundred feet
wide at two o'clock this afternoon, and
is growing wider rapidly by swamps
back of the city and along the line OF
the jackson Railroad, which are full OF
water. The railroad in some places is
covered to the depth of two inches.
The reports OF the destruction Of prop
erty::are hourly received. Nothing has
vet been heard from the other crevasses
above or below. 1t is thought as
a large force is at work upon them that
they have been partially repaired.
Much alarm is felt here, however, as
Walkers swamp is completely sub
merged and the swamps back OF the
city are filling up rapidly. 1t is feared
that another break has occurred from
the fact that water is now backing in
upon the city from vast lakes now
forming.
