Marvellous Conversion.


A DEIAwAREAN REFORMED IN THE MARYLAND PEN
IrENTIARy.
Hezekiah Scott, pardoned from the Maryland
Penitentary about the first of last June, is a
Delawarean whose prison life has wrought an
entire change in him. Six Or eight years ago he
was the leader of a gang of thieves gathered
from the region lying on both sides Of the State
line between Delaware and Maryland, and by his
frequent predatory excursions became famous
throughout all tile country where his operations
were conducted Finally he was detected in the
robbery of the preachers tent at the Concord
camp-meeting tried in the Circuit Court for
Caroline county, and sentenced to the Mary
land Penitentiary for term of years. Du-
ring his incarceration he embraced religion, held
prayer and experience meetings in the prison,
and exhorted the inmates to lead purer and
holier life. This conduct led to his pardon on
condition that he would leave the State, which
he did, and located in the neighborhood of his
early home, in Kent county, Del. He is now
preaching around in country churches. 1t not
a little singular that he should choose the very
profession which as his last act he sought to
wrong, that he should begin to preach Christ to
the same people who lived in terror of him, or
that his first effort should have dated in the
same season with his last criminal act. The con-
version OF Paul, although more sudden, was not
more marvellous.

suicide at Izavre dc Grace.

A MAN AppREHENsIyE OF WANT CUTS HIS THROAT.
Philip Barrett, of Havre de Grace, suicided on
Sunday, cutting his throat with razor. He had
been for some days in a depressed hypochon-
driac condition of mind, constantly expressing
apprehensions of coming want, and fearing
that he and his mother would starye, &c. With
in the last day or two this alteration of mind
had increased to so marked a degree that by
the advice Of DIR. Cocb.sp a watch was kept
upon the deceased. On Sunday he seemed
calm, and during the afternoon sat down in the
parlor and listened attentively to his mother
reading, Mrs. Kane being also present in the
room. About four O'Clock Mr.. Barrett walked
into the kitchen, and SOON afterwards Mrs. Kane
called Mrs. Barretts attention to noise like
running water and on the two proceeding to the
kitchen door, horrible sight presented itself.
Barrett had stood up before the glass and
deliberately cut his throat with razor,
which he had secreted about his person.
Mr.. Barrett was about As years OF age, and
unmarried He leaves an aged mother and two
sisters (both married) in Havre de Grace, a
married sister in Wilmington, and brother in
Pittsburg. He was a Woodworking, industrious
man. The coroner held an inquest, and a ver-
dict was rendered in accordance with the above.
