The Norwich (Conn.) Advertiser gives
the following particulars of melancholy
affair in Colchester. 1t says:
Early Saturday morning last, Miss Amy
Brown, of Colchester, took dose of NOR
phine, from the effects of which she died
about four O'Clock III the afternoon. She
was engaged to be married soon to Frank
Gott, young man who was killed by the
cars, near Hartford, week before last. His
remains were brought to Hebron, and the
funeral services held in the Episcopal
church one week ago Sunday. For the
past week Miss Brown has been very de-
spondent, and letters since found show
that she had contemplated suicide since
the death Of her lover. A letter was found
Saturday, written by her, in which shec
requested her funeral services to be held
at the same church, on the same day of the
week, and at the same hour as those of
her lover, and in accordance with her
wishes the solemn exercises took place on
Sunday at one O'Clock, at the same church
in Hebron. A further request was also
complied with, that she might be buried
beside Mr.. Croft. Friday afternoon she
took beautiful cross Of flowers she had
made, hired team, drove to the cemetery
and placed the flowers ON the grave of her
departed lover, and returned to Colchester
to enact the sad scene we have detailed.
AS soon as her condition was discovered
Saturday, Drs. Swift and Robinson were
summoned, but, with all the appliances that
could be suggested, failed to save the life
OF the broken-heartcd girl. Miss Brown
was eighteen years of age, and was engag-
ed III dress making. At the shop where
she worked, we understand, there were
found eight letters addressed to her asso-
CIateS.

While in Baltimore last week we were
tod by gentleman Of unquestiOnable
veracity that while i'll Morganton, i'll this
State, short while since, - Mckess son,
the late galvanized Radical, showed him a
letter from Senator Pool asking for the
names Of tue "truly loyal'' III each town
ship for the purpose Of sending money 10
bribe voters III the coming election. TI,erc
were some startling revelations in that
letter, which We will give from time to
time. McKcSsOn was laboring under an
oVcr-p0rtiou of benzine or our friend would
never have seen the letter, for Pool evil
IDENTITY intended his letter only for the
''brudders."
If money for such vile purposes was only
given by individuals we would hardly
notice it, Dut when we have the assurance
OF public men that any amount will be
used to carry the State for The Radicals,
and that too, Of the hard earnings of the
taxpayers, We can but rebel.
Pool had better drill his forces better, or
mean whisGey will cause more exposures
than will be good for the party. OF this
and other rascally devices VIC will spca';
more at length hereafter.

we can give names and substantiatc all we
say.-ROdnoke Neacs.

stssmbosts OH our Western rivers frequently pay
Sor themselves in . single year.
Instances are common where the profits Of n
host during single season have been more than
.ucient to pay the entire cost of its construction
and equipment. This kind OF business is. OF

gers and insurance companies taxa all the risks
and ,,,ffer nil the losses The former risk theil
