ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - Yesterday, about
noon, a woman whose name we suppress, about
forty years old, was brought to the police
station She was discovered on Tukey's bridge
and arrested just in time to prevent her jump
ing in. A few moments after her arrival at the
station her husband, in great distress of mind,
came in search of her, saying that she left a
note on her chamber table stating that he
would find her in the dock. The woman was
evidently insane and could give no coherent
answers to the questions asked her.

lage (as it usually is on such occasions) to listen
to the last lecture of the course, by Rev. DR..
Small of Portland After an appropriate pray
er by Rev. B. Freeman, the speaker was intro
duced and announced for his subject "Young
Men for the Times" Every young man should,
said he, choose some legitimate trade or profess
sion, and persevere in his calling with the whole
power of his manhood, looking neither to the
right or left until some noble object is accom-
plished. The biography of some of the most
eminent men of the world was quoted to show
that men in days past had raised themselves
from poverty and obscurity through their IN
tegrity and perseverance to the highest pima
cles of fame, and their deeds will always i've
and their names be heralded as the world S ben
efactors, The broad fields of science are as
wide open to the men of to-day. The speaker
then alluded to his subject in moral point OF
view Our influence for good will be in pro-
portion to our usefulness and example. Geo.
Peabody, the philanthropist, and others were
cited. who by their princely gifts for the endow-
ment of schools, colleges and churches, have
written their names in the pages of enduring
history. The speaker next spoke of some of
the social vices that were dragging young men
of the times down to the lowest depths of deg
radiation. A.
