FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10.

SINGULAR SUIClDE-A man named Miller
a.resident Of the town OF Sharon, Mass, has
committed suicide in most remarkable way.
He did the act in the following manner; Al
the bead of flight Of stairs block had
been placed. A seythe had been arranged oy
means of pivot, and the point passed through
an aperture in an adjoining room, where bag,
containing iron weighing thirty five pounds,
was fastened to the point Of the scythe by
chain. The weight was so suspended that
when Miller placed his head 90 the block he
could detach the weight, which would brlus
the point of the scythe across his throat with
great force. By this extraordinary device, the
unfortunate man came to his death, though at.
ter the bloody instrument of deaf b had doue
its work he lifted it from his o. ok and stag
gered down stairs into the room where his body
was discovered.
