ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.- was ru.
NOR in town last week of an attempt at
suicide, in Hazleton township in this
county; though up to the time Of going
to press, we werc not able to find any
body who could give us the facts
We have since been placed in posses
sion of them, and lay them before our
readers. The individual who essayed to
shuttle off this mortal coil is young
man named Levi Goddard, former resi-
dent of this county, but who has lived in
Texas for the past few years lie came
back to this county last fall to visit his
relatives, who reside in Hazlcton, and du-

ticed unusual or peculiar about his &C
actions until this affair. {. He was man
of powerful frame, and as we are in
formed, in good health. On Friday the
9Th, taking the gun with him, lie went
around to all his friends, mot her, sisters
and brother, bidding them goodbye, and
telling them he would not see them again,
but they would see him. About six
o'clock in the evening he called at the
house of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Nathan
Harrington, and, after sitting a while,
went out, declining Mr.. Ha rrington's in
vitation to stay all night. In few mo-
ments the report of gun was heard, and
Mr.. Harrington going out, met Goddard
coming to the house with terrible
wound in his left side, from which the
blood was streaming freely, and carrying
the rife. 1t appears from his own state
mcnt that he had placed the muzzle of
the gun to his breast, and leaning for.

hand. This action diverted the gun from
itsintcnded aim, and to this he owes his
life. The BUILT passed through.his left

WHAT NExT?-The most adamantine
specimen of cheek that has lately fallen
under our observation comes to us in the
proposition from the proprietor Of an in
significant catch penny monthly, publish
ed in Chicago 1t is to the effect that if
the country papers will insert an adver-
tiscment and local notice of said reprint
monthly, worth at regular rates not less
than So, they will be furnished a copy of
the publication one year without further
compensation. The impudence Of the
proposition eliminates in the fact that the
regular subscription price of the "Maga-
zine" is just 20 cents a year. 1t is the
most expensive publication in the country
at that.

Lines ON the Death Of Mr.. VIM. Rob.
insOn.

Gone from earth, yes gone forever;
Tear-dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain.
We shall hear his voice now never:
Never more on earth again.
Home is sad; oh, God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome every spot;
Listening for thy voice till weary,
Weary, for we hear it not.
Shall we never more be with thee,
Never more our love express.
Our dear father, how we mise thee,
When on our knees for God to bless.
There bright angels quickly bore thee.
Upward heavenward, home to God.
While we broken hearted DER thee
Bow beneath the chastcned rod.
God of love send us some token
From the spirit world above,
That these hearts oil crushed and broken
May be healed by heavenly love.
The Lords thy shepherd, thou'rt not lonely,
Every want He shall supply:
Lead thee by still waters only.
In green pasture thou shalt lie.
Brother, thou hast gone before us,
God would not permit thee stay.
When the film of death comes Ger us
Meet us, brother, on the way.
