The young man had not said anything
TO his father concerning his approaching

'leman was displeased on account of not
having been consulted in the matter.
Accordingly; on Friday, the 18th inst,
he went 10 his father and told him what
he had heard. His father said it VIZ.
true that he thought hard Of his not
having named thu tnatter to him sooner,
especially if he had expected o recp :
tion or Anything Of that kind. Tho
young mau said that when his brother
had married that be had not told his
father any longer before the we'd ding.
The father replied that his other son had
told him four weeks beforehand.

thought of the match TO which the ,at.
II :.e.;nsip ssJ think tha girl
will get the worst Of it," Upon this
Bland turned about and renarking, al
wish was dead" went away. Soon
after this his sister entering his room,
saw him rising from the fiSor BY his
trunk which he had open. He ap pSar.
ed much detected and repc=ses % ,i.sr
the wish that he we're dead. Shortly

no more alive. - q "a
His absence created no particular un.
easincTs at first not being unusual. r On
SuAd1y the bans for the contemplated

Bryan who were searching a thicket
about half mile from the residence Of
MIR. Thomas Ballard had their attention
drawn by dog belonging to the family
to a particular spot where the dead
body of young Ballard was found, The
dog, with the characteristic fidelity of
his species, endeavorcd to prevent any
one from approaching the corpse.
Young Ballard appeared to have sat
down in II little path through the thick.

meditated- He had fallen over on his
left side. At his feet lay his pistol, a
