TIE DEATH or TITUS RICE, TIE REcLusE
or OLD PolST.-The Norfolk Journal says :
His death was discovered Saturday morn
inc by some friends who had called to see
how he was, who, after knocking at the door
of his "cabn" some time without getting
any response, forced the door open and found
him in his bunk cold in death, with henry
rifle by his side, which he had fired by means
of his crutch. the ball entering nearly the
centre of the forehead, doubtless producing
in slant death.
After the coroncr's inquest was held and
the cause Of his death determined he was
buried by the MasoEs.
Colonel Rice was Il native Of Connecticut,
and came to Virginia on horseback some lilly
wears ago. He commenced business as TN
peddler, at which he made considerable
money, and finally established himself in the
wholesale tin and stove business in Rich-
mond. He was a prominent ana uSeiul cltl-
zen, and took great interest in the prosperity
of the city Of his adoption, and ut one time
was aide-de-camp on the Governors stan.
Fortune seems to have smiled on him, ana at
one time he had accumulated fortune OF
seventv-fve or one hundred thousand dol
lars. But the tide of prosperity turned.
Unfortunate speculations, indorslnS paper
for friends, &C.. so crippled him that when
the crisis of 1857 came he found himself pen
nilcss and an old man. He gathered together
what effects he had and chartered small
schooner, which he purchased, and owned
when the war broke out. This vessel was
seized by the Government, for when he
was paid $4,000, and he then turned his at
tcntion to plotting Government vessels on
the james river, and continued at this bust
ness until the close of the war. AT one OF
the sales he purchased an old barge which
Law upon the beach and fitted up part OF
two cabins rs residence. where he has llved
ever since the life of Il rcclnIe. Friends Ire
uuently demonstrated with him OF his mode
of life, but OH such occasions he became very
indignant. and declared that he was living as
well rs anybody, &c.
From what we can learn he seems to have
been contemplating this act for some time
past, Us air his arrangements point that way.
lie has been suffering extremely for the last
four or five years from acute rheumatism,
and certainly life has been but blirthen to
bin. He had pcnchnnt for attending all
the sales of old Government stores, and buy
iug up odd lots. and his barge is regular
"cl,rosity shop" Various JUNIORS have
been atoat as to the amount OF money he
was worth, but from what we can learn we
do not place il above two thousand or TWEEN
tv-fye hundred dclIr lie certainly had
enough 20 keep him in comfort the rest OF
his DAYS; but he could not be persuaded to
enjoy it.

AS has already been published, Fred A. Simon,
the missing Salem expressman, returned home
on Saturday. The Register gives the following
account of his absence, gathered from an inter-
view with him: He says that he left Salem ON
the 5.15 p. H. train on Thursday, 18th instant.
He went back to Boston to get hat which he
ought to have brought to Salem; got the hat
and started to take the 9. 80 train home. Be-
tween eight and nine o'clock coming down
Union street, just beyond North street, some
thing came over his head; he struggled to get
clear; heard no voices, but had seen two men
behind him; first saw them near the Old State
House. All was blank from the time he strug-
sled to get clear from the thing over his head
until he found himself in the train for Albany,
about or 81 clock on Saturday morning near
the State line. He felt stupid, but aroused
himself and asked the conductor how he had
come so far in that condition. The conductor
told him his ticket was in his hat and had been,
punched at the regular places. The conductor
spoke as though he thought that Simon was I'M
der the influence of liquor, and as though such
cases were not uncommon for him to meet with
When the train arrived at Albany he staggered
out and sat down in the depot. A police officer
came and aroused him and asked if he was go
ing any farther. Simon answered, No, he had
no money. He had a brown overcoat ON, but
no undercoat or vest Policeman asked him
where he got his liquor. He replied that he had
not been drinking and related the circumstances
DO dpoFe. Inc oIncef Salu tnat story was TOO
thin, and took him to the police station and
Kept him until Sunday morning. when, there
being no charge against him, he was released.
He looked around for some job to get means to
come home, but without success He had food
given him, and an Irishman, who said he would
not turn him out of DOORS allowed him to sleep
ON a chair in his kitchen that night He tried
again to secure work on Monday That night
he took the train for home, but was put off at
the next station This was repeated every day,
Simon trying to get work at every station where
he was put off, until he finally reached Boston,
arriving on Saturday, and came home The
Thursday evening of his disappearance Simon
had about $780, all his own money, in his vest
pocket, and silver watch all of which he miss
ed when he came to himself. r--aT
