STRANGE ATTEMPT AT SELF-DEsTRUCTION
1t is seldom in this new country that news
papers are compelled to record suicides of
persons under twenty years old-seldom
under thirty. About two o'clock last eve
ming Sergeant Joseph, in an uptown pre-
cinct, received information that a wounded
man was lying in the bush in the rear of the
draining machine. On examinat ton, he
made the discovery that Thomas Hutchin-
son, only seventeen years old, had made an
Intellectual attempt to commit suicide by
shooting himself in his breast, the bullet
penetrating his breast near his heart.
When found he was PROSTATE, but able to
converse little, stating that he had done
the terrible deed himself. He was taken to
his uncle's residence, on Liberty street,
where physician pronounced his condition
quite uncertain, but certainly serious.
In reply to a question as to what had in
duced him to seek violent death he made
no other reply than that one of his ac-
quaintances had told falsehoods about him.
Doubtless the real cause will never be made
public. and the probability is there was
something more serious than falsehoods ut
tered by companion.

PICNICs.-There was a very pleasant and
mics in the City Park. There were two Of
the public schools on the ground enjoying
themselves with that intensity of enjoy
ment that belongs to youth, health and
lightheartedness.
st. Andrew school, comprising some two
hundred children, arrived at the ground
about nine o'clock, closely followed by
Gravier school, containing about the same
number of children as the former.
The principal of the st. Andrew school,
Miss Emily LObre, assisted by the other
teachers, Miss Laura Borie, Miss Leontine
Berhel and Miss Cornelia Roxborough, had
the most perfect arrangements for making
their pupils happy.
The Gravier school, of which Mr.. A. p
Williams is principal, with Miss H. Williams,
Miss L. E. Vigers, Miss Alice Bennett, and
Miss Georgiana Henderson, were in no way
behindhand in making their school children
happy. Kelly's brass band was
there, the old big band, and the new small
one, of which more anon. There was album
dance of the good things of this life on
hand,sand the picnic broke up as night APP
preached after day of unalloyed enjoy
ment.
We noticed among the visitors several
directors of the City Board, Messrs. Pinch,
back. Lynne, Superintendent Carter and
others.
