Shocking Suicide in Brooklyn.

A suicide, which is shown by the
evidence to have been very shocking
case, came to the knowledge Of Coroner
Jones on Friday. The Coroner was
notified in the usual way that young
man had committed suicide at his resi-
dence in Pacific street, and that it
would be necessary for him to hold an
inquest over his remains.
The Coroner visited the house in
question and found the body of the rn-
fortuna'c victim, Mr.. Frederick D. Og-
den stretched across the doorway in
the basement, and the floor covered
with blood, which had gushcd from
ghastly wound in his throat Coroner
Jones said he never SAW a more shock
ing spectacle. The deceased was about
twenty-eight years of age and resided
with his mother and sister. He was a
very intellectual young man, but was
at times subject to fits of melancholy.
He was the nephew Of Judge Edmonds,
the great Spiritualist, Of New York,
and who has been engaged as counsel
for him in some real estate transactions.
The loss of some property appeared
to affect the mind of the deceased to
such an extent that it became apparent
to his relatives and friends that his
mind was deranged. The best ply
sicians were summoned, and they ad-
v;sed him to travel. He did so for
some months, but it did not have a
beneficial effect and he reached home
even more melancholy than when he
left it. His mother and sister deemed
it advisable to keep all sharp instru-
ments beyond his reach. On Friday
his sister requested him to get some
coal from the cellar. On reaching the
basement he found his mother cutting
some bread with large knife, and i'm
mediately made an attempt to take it
from her. She clung to it with all the
strength she possessed and screamed
for assistance. Being unable to get the
knife from her he got the blade in such
position that he could draw his throat
across it, and did SO, despite her efforts
to prevent him. He pressed his throat
upon the blade with such strength that
it cut his head half off. His sister
hearing the cries of her mother, ran
down stairs and raised his head up
when the blood spurted over her mother
and herself. He fell upon the floor
and noundered about until he reached
! the doorway; where he stopped, and
after lying few moments he breathed
! his last.

Has the Fifteenth Amendment been
:. - legally Ratified,
The New York Zsmacs, Of Monda
the 18th instant, says:

1
the 18th instant, says:
An important case as to the constitu.
tionality Of the new election law o.
Congress in reference to- interfering
with electors, promises to come before
the United States Supreme Court, and
it may also involve the question as to
the constitutional ratification Of the
Fifteenth Amendment. At the Con-
gressional election in Newton Town
ship, Camden County, New Jersey, in
November last, it will be remembered
the colored voters were prevented from
voting, and a riot was created, the bal
lot box was smashed, and the sheriff Of
the county was compelled to quell the
disturbance. The alleged assailants
were at once arrested and indicted, and
at the present term Of the United states
\ District Court at Trenton one Francis
iSouders has been found guilty Of :" un-
lawfully interfering BY force with quail
ifedevoters (colored) from freely exer-
cisings the light Of suffrage" The coun-
sci for the accused, are two prominent
legal gentlemen, Messrs, Browning, OF
Camden, and ex Chancellor Williamson,
of Elizabeth, who, on Thursday next,
February Is, will argue the constitu-
tionality of the Act under which Soud-.
ers was convicted. One point of the
argument, it is understood is that the
Fifteenth Amendment to the constitu-
ton was never legally ratified, and in
case Of, an adverse decision they will
carry. the entire matter to the Supreme
Court -
The Senate Of the State OF, Indiana a
few days since declared that the ratif-
cationiof the amendment by that State
was not legally made. and it is claimed
that without that State the necessary
number of States was not obtained for
a legal ratification. The New Jersey
Legislature, however, has just ratified
the amendment, so that in case the
claim of Indiana should be sustained,
the required number Of States will still
be on record, but whether newprocla-
nation should be needed will be sub
iect for the Court. In the meantime, as
this is the first conviction under the
new Act, the result will be looked for
ward to with much interest, as not only
establishing the legality of the Fifteenth
Amendment, but also as formally de-
claring the right Of the colored man to
al The loyal. privileges and projection
given to the white.

winter Rain.

The rain, the desolate rain
Ceaseless and solemn ard chill
Bow it drips on the misty pane
How it dreuches the darkened sill
Oh, scene of sorrow and dearth,
would that the wind, awaking 2
To fierce and gusty mirth si-.5
Might vary this dull refrain
OF the rain, the desolatc rain;
For the heart Of heaven seems breaking
In tears DER the fallen earth =
And again, again, again,
We list to the sombre strain,
The long, low monotone
Whose soul is mystic moan,)
Of the rain, the rain, Il rain,
The low, despairing rain!
The rain, the mournful rain!
Weary, passionless, slow;
TITS the rhythm of settled sorrow,
'Tis the sobbing of curoless woe;
And alltho otragic of life,
The pathos Of long ago..
Come back on tho sad refrain
Of the rain, the mournful rain, IN
The desolate, dreary rain,
i.i Till the graves in my heart unclose,
And the dead who are buried thero %
~ From n solemn. and weird repose
Awake brt with eyeballs drear,
And voices that melt in pain,
On the tide of tho plaintige!rain, d

q With its passionless, slow refrain,) -.
Ofthe; dim, funeral rain, sa,7os
The long, low, whispering rain!

To FARMERs.-Of all the dreary
places, deliver us from the dreary farm
houses, which So many people call home.
Bars for front gate; chickens wallow-
ing before the door; pig pens elbowing
the house in the rear; scraggy trees
never cared for, or no trees at all 10
cheering shrubs; no neatness; no trim
ness. And yet, lawn, and trees, and
a neat walk, and a pleasant fence around
it, don't cost a great deal. They can be
secured little by little, at odd times and
the expense hardly felt And if the
time comes when it is best to sell the
farm, fifty dollars so invested, will often
bring back five hundred. For man is
q brute, who will not insensibly yield
to higher price for such farm, when
he thinks of the pleasant surroundings
it offers to his wife and children. Farm
ers, beautify and adorn your farms; set
out orchards, shrubbery, shade trees
lay off lawns build good fences put
up good gates and paint or whitewash
your outhouses and fences.

A young man of the name Of Joseph
recently tickled young lady in church
on North Bars Island in Ohio. The
lady squealed, and the preacher barred
his arm and sailed into the worshippers
powerful" He said women and men
should no more sit together under the
droppings of his sanctuary. But, even
with the possibility OF being tickled
before their eyes, the ladies refused to
be separated, and on the very next
evening all sat together. The preacher
was indignant, and brought the male
portion of his congregation before a
justice of the peace. 4 jury was de-
manded, and no juror should be amem
Der of the church. Three days the
trial lasted, but at last the oppressed
went free, and now in church they
tickle each other as of yore, to keep
awake in an amusing manner.

The direction of the last was the
