SUICIDE.

The New York Tribune OF yesterday gives
the following account of a remarkable sui
eide
Ex-Cougressman Oba diah Bovine, once one
of the most influential residents of Fresh Kills,
5. l., and recently boarder at the Compton
House 10 this city, committed suicide under re-
uarkable circumstances at the Richmond
County Hail. in Richmond Village, s. l., on
Monday night. The act seems to have been
tine result ofcalm and deliberate thought and all
the details were carefully planned. Mr.. Bovine
called at the office OF a newspaper early on
Monday aud asked that the best reporter should
be detailed to meet him at 5 clock that after
noon iu the Staten Island Ferryhouse to work
up sensation Thence, he said, he would
accompany the reporter to Staten Island,
where the event vas to occur. Mr. Bovine was
assured that bis request would be complied
with, and left the Office. A few minutes be-
fore five o'clock be was met at the ferry
by acquaintances, who, being on their way to
the Island, asked him to e. down with them.
lie declined the invitation, giving as an excuse
that he had 'an engagement with a business
man. After the boat had got uuder way his
acquaiutances SAW him and a stranger together.
After short time he left bis unknown com.
pauioD; came to them, and opened a conversa-
tlU0. Uc talh ludt paSSeO UclWVcu tucM was
of a general character, but before they parted
he told them that be would die before l2
o'clock the Dext day. % landing, Bovine and
the stranger tock the cars to Richmond, and
engaged room in the Richuond County Hall.
They ordered supper and after eating entered
the barroom, Bovine drank freely, and 10 the
course of the evening again remarked that he
would not be alive on the morrow. Between
$50 and 10 o'clock he and his friend went to
their room. At ii o clock the stranger, who,
it was subsequently learned, was reporter, en-
tered the bar-room hastily and said that Bovine
had committed suicide. The proprietor of the
hotel hurried to his room, and found him lying
On the bed with hult-emptied bottle of lauda-
NUN beside him. The reporter states that al
Ter they went up stairs Bovine gave him his
tory of his life with political "reminiscences, and
when he had finished, produced bottle of
audauum, and before be could interfere drank
heartily from it. MIR. Bovine died about mid
right. The deceased was between ffty.6ve
aud sixty years old. He represented the First
Congressional District of this State from 1851
to 1853 and declined denomination. He was
one OF the first Quarantine Commissioners and
selected the site lor the station. Soon after the
expiration of bis term be became Incorporate,
aud his wife, daughter of DR.. Harrison, form
er Health Officer of this port, procured di.
vorce. He inherited fortune of about
100000 from his parents, much of which he
squaudered. Subsequently his divorced wife
rrjolned him, and now survives him lth two
Sous. Oflate Mr.. Bovine held position in
the Department of Public Works.

EXTRAORDINARY RELIGIOUS REVIVAL
The Danville, Va, 'Times' has an account of
an extraordinary religious revival which has
been in progress there for four weeks 1t says:
The colored as we'll as the white people are
greatly concerned about their future state. At
all hours Of the day aod Eight they are heard
shouting. either 10 their private houses or on
the streets. Every good citizen rejoices 10
these spiritual manifestations. Many Of the
coored people, who are excited on the subject
Of religion, are carrying on in a very curious
style. A man Damed Kiah Price stripped him-
self Of all but one article of clothing asd walk
ed to the house top aud sat upon the chimney.
One Degro woman in giving IN her experience
stated she had been to hell and saw Spy Ross
there Another said she had seen the Lord
Jesus and he was smoking golden. pipe. ! Still
another had seen the Lord and was command
ed by Him to reap where she had sowed.
Many persons are disposed to laugh at these
ignorant creatures but they ought to have
more charity for them. They are sincere, 20
doubt, and are doing the best they can with the
imperfect lights before them
The Petersburg News" speaking of simi-
lar revival there, says:
Religious revivas of the most exciting char
acter have been going on In the churches tor
sUIue tlmC past, duu Cue cOlOTeu pcopie Scuei-
ally have become so ''enthused'' that in many
cases their condition actually approaches that
positive lunacy. The same disorder broke
out iu Kentucky a few yeats ago. and was call
ed by the medical men the Kentucky jerks ;"
The News says: That it is disease is very
sure. Yesterday morning the streets in the
upper portion of the city we're resonant with
shouts, groans and mumbled prayers About
mid day, in front of the HSrrison street colored
school, scene took place which de6es descrip-
non. Perhaps one hundred children, from
eight to fifteen years of age were mingled in a
mass of dancing, howling humanity-all re-
peatipg the same formula, all making the same
wild gestures, all using the same tone Of voice.
Bedlam was holding high carnival ofmanlacs,
and discipline was lost in chaotic frenzy.
The same journal says that in many respects
the disease resembles the terrible visitation
which came over Naples in the seventeenth
century, when St. Vitas or St. Johns dance
took the form Of an epidemic and spread over
the eutire city, and recommends that the
schools be closed until the spidemic is over.
