GEAUGA CouNTY.-Our correspondent
"Acta' under date Of the 9th sends us
the following account of n terrible trag-
edy In Thompson:
One of those terrible tragedies which ac-
casIonalIy startle the peaceful country
aide with thrill OF horror has just trans
pired in our usually quiet town. Yester-
day two young lads attending school at
the center, during recess In the afternoon
got into an alteration, when, after ex-
changing blows, young Pinney, SON of the
merchant at this place, drew jack-knife
and stabbed Peter Snyder "a hoy whom
Joseph Smith had taken from the Cleve-
land poor-house) in the arm and back in
fifcting two CHASTITY wounds, though prob
ably not fatal, Being told by the other
scholars that Snyder would die and that
he would be hung, young. Pinney 1t Is
supposed, became very much alarmed and
started for home telling some of the schol-
ars that they. would never see him again.
When his father heard of the affair he Inn
meditely instituted search for him and
about five O'Clock be was discovered lying
on pile of straw in the back part Of the
horse-barn dead. He had quietly entered
the house, taken his fathers revolver, re-
tired to the barn and shot himself through
the head. the ball entering just above the
ear and so nearly passing through that its
position could be seen on the other side.
He must have died instantly. He was
about ten years old.

al routine business which ordinarily oc-
cupies the attention of the two branches
of our State Legislature there has 10th
ing of general interest. been done in Co
lumbus. during the past week. The us
ual number of new bills, resolutions and
proposed changes have been introduced
and discussed, but that is about all. In
deed the daily perusal of the full report
of Legislative proceedings is about as
uninteresting a proceeding as one can
we'll imagine. Among the bills, how
ever, was one to fine and imprison per.
sons who adulterate milk that may inter
est some of our readers-althongil we
presume none of them would have any
personal feeling by reason of its adop
tion.
