FROM AsnrABuLA COUNTY.


Ed. JouRNAL-A shocking suicide was com
mittsd last Sunday night in Harts Grove town
ship this county, the victim Of self-destruction
being Mrs, Mcclure, a lady Of some thirty
years of age. On the night named she went to
bsd with the hired girl, aud when all was qniet
she arose so cautiously, that no one was dis.
turbed, and with a case knife cut her throat
from ear 10 ear, severing the wiudpps and 9TH
DR. arteries.
The girl was awakened by the girelng noise
Of the victim, and missing Mrs. Mcclure, called
the husband, who was in au adjoining room,
who came at once with light. but only in time
to see his wife gasp once or twice. She had
evidently lain down on the Ao,r and grasped
the knife with boath hands, thus drawing it
back and forth till the deed was accomplished.
The deceased had lost child some two
months ago, since which time she had been
gloomy and despnuden', at times threatening 10
t,ke her lite. The husband and family hal
watched her with mnch care, fearing she would
execute her threats. They were so weiried by
constant watching, that sleep overcame them,
and thus they failed to know Of her movements.
Tho melancholy affair has clothed the quiet
n,ighborhood, where the family lived, in deep
so-rnw.
In the land If "Milk & Cheese" tnnt H,ney)
is Burg tna, Perrysburg or Bowling Green
but Fooiville, which was somewhat excited
over the removal of the apparatus pertaining to
cheese-makin- during the absence Of the suI-
posed proprietor. On his return the necessary
papers were issued by the Chief Justice of said
Burg, who decided trial. that a cheese maker
could not hold the "ixins" necessary for his bu-
siness, but any nne finding them could con6s
| cate, or appropriate the same TO his own use.
The cheese man not being satisfied with this
decision, nrnposedto "press the suit and see
what could be done in the big JudiciSl "cheese-
press,"a at Jefferson. the county seat. The prob
abilities were that the confSca,ing party would
have To pay for the property, and be "squeezed
out" Of round SUN for cost, con sequentlY he
DISPLAYED few yards Of cheese capping as a
flag of truce, and agreed To pay costs made thus
| far aud return the plunder, which proposition
was accepted.
! Now will not say there was any tall swear
! ing by tie IT ,te party when returning said plum
| der aong the battomless roads, but leave your
! readers to draw their own inferences
The organization anl Management Of Oranges
is the topic of conversation in this locality just
now. Not long since deputy was sent int
| this benighted Ashtabula county to organize a
| urauge. lie called at Il hptel where his horse
was properly cared for, &c. When th,
nnerms duties of his mission were performed h,
called for his horse aud buggy. When ready
he asked the landlord his bill aud was informed
that it WAS 2j cts. Wishing to impress tlr
good people, thatwhen you buy low, low price:
should be the rule, asked his host if that wa
not too much. "Well," said the good Ian llord
"it may be, give me Is or 20 cts" The deputy
fi.hed out of his wallet ju.t ten cents, handed
over aud said he Thought that about right.
Query When the Orler is drawn on th,
treasury for his services aud expenses, will sal
deputy be very particular aud that the exac
amount fur horse feed Is inserted?
You will hear from me next, In Virginia o
some other point, for you know ,ma
