DID HE COMMIT SUICIDE ?-The latest sensa-
tional item in Richmond is the alleged sui
eide of d man whose name is represented TO
be S. II, Burhaker. The case is rather slngu-
lar one, ard the facts somewhat interesting.
Several dayS ago stranger walked into the
First Police Staton-house and handed Cap.
tain Pleasants letter, and asked him TO read
if. The man was pretty we'll dressed, but
appeared to he very nervous ID his manner.
The letter purported to be confession, and
was signed s. II. Burbaker. The writer
stated IN it that his mind had been impaired
for several months, and that he had, during
that period, endeavored to commit suicide in
different ways. He says:
81 have taken laudanum, morphine, arse
mic, chloroform, and tried to drown myself
once in the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg,
Pa, (where presume my wife and two child
rem are ut present), but oil! to no purpose.
On the 7th instant | forged check on my
brother-in-law for $500; left Harrisburg that
evening on the Northern Central railway for
Washington, D. c.; arrived at the latter
place that same evening, and stopped over
night. On Sunday morning left on steam
boat, took the cars at Quantico, and arrived
at Richmond at 130 the same day; got o
ticket 10 Wilmington. n. c.; arrived there on
the following morning; stopped at the Man
ming House; went twice to the beach
that week, and left there on Saturday, 18th
instant, and came up to Goldsboro'; left
there on the following morning for Peters
burg; stayed there until Saturday last, when
I came to this place with the intention of
going home, but getting robbed in the mean
time I could 60 no further. My intention
was TO deliver myself up to the authorities
at Harrisburg, and had my head been level
las it is now | don't suppose would have
been robbed, and would be there now.
whether there is reward for me do
not know, as l have seen no paper from
home, but presume there is, as man doing
so rash an act ought certainly to be prose
cuted.
81 now give myself in your hands, and
whatever Will be the consequence must and
am willing to abide by"
The officers at the station took him IN
charge and telegram was sent TO the au-
thorities at Harrisburg announcing that ne
| was in custody. The next morning reply
was received which read as follows: "We
| don't want him." This news Bnrbaker
didn't seem to relish much, and he left the
station-house. Later during the day he was
seen near Rockets, and short time alter
wards boatman informed Policeman Jeter
! that in coming up the river he had noticed
| pile of clothing on rock. Upon reaching
the rock the clothes were found and taken to
the station-housc. In the pockets were
| found number of articles and vial labeled
&C "chloroform," and letter was found in ONE
| Of the pockets which read rs follows:

STRAWBERRYING.

Down through the meadows, with clover blooms
bright,
Wander two dimped bare feet;
So fair and SO dainty you'd take them at sight
For pair of twin snow-hakes, forgot to alight,
Till in place Of the winters cold mantle of white
Spreads summers green canopy sweet;
Above them wee little maiden looks out,
And laughs at the crimson heads nodding about.
That her curls have caught half of its gleam;
Through the fern-leafy nook where the sweet
brier grows.
And on past the haunt of the daisy she goes,
Her steps in the shadow the maple tree throws,
To talk with the rollicking stream.
A merry voiced bluebird sang over her head;
Where are you goings" she thought he said
Don't hinder me, dear little birdiel' she cried,
I'm in grest hurry. you see,
I'm going to find where the strawberries hide;
I'll steal every one from their Mamma-vine' &
side.
Give them in my basket nice little ride,
And take to my mamma for tea;
She II smile in my eyes like the beautiful sun,
And give me three kisscs for every One.
!" Here, DEAR calls bobolink down in the dell,
I've found you the strawberry bed.
OH, 4uiehiS duu tuiCkiH ieui
Berries and lips love each other full well.
Berries and lips-'twcre not easy to tell,
Which were most sweet or most real.
The small empty basket disconsolate lies,
While grasshoppers scan it with curious eyes.
Mamma, peeping anxiously out of the door,
As the slant western sunbeams peep in,
Sees queer little figure home trudging once
more,
With yellow curls tangled, and dainty feet sore,
And something that's strangely like blood trick
ling DER,
From forehead to round dmpled chin!
Her mother heart throbs with u sudden alright,
And the world for moment seems fading from
sight;
But the fears fly away when q voice full of glec,
Calls out in silyery tone
20 mamma, dear mamma. just come here and
The strawberries have been picking for tca.'
Mamma lifts the basket lid-0Re, ttc0, three
Red strawberries lying alone!
But she gives three kisses for every one,
And both faces shine in the beautiful sun.
