ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, The Huntington
l3,eeiser says that community was a
good deal excited 90 the 81 inst, by the
report that the wife Of Rev. j. F Hard
wick. pastor of the Baptist church at Guy
anloue, had attempted to comm; suicide
on Mosd,y night. We took pains to get
correct account Of the circumstances
connected With the affair, and will give
them as We received them. Mrs Hard
wick has been in aad health for some time;
and has bgoodcd over her trouble 50 much
that her mind has become affected; her
continual lament was that her life was
worthless; that she was unable to do any
thing for her family, and might as well be
dead. She had once or twice spoken Of
wishing to die and of throwing herseiTfrom
tbo railroad bridge into the river Most
Of the time, however, she has been entire
" rational and has convcrscd on the state
of her mind with entire freedom, a pro-
,ractcd meeting has been going on at the
church in GuysndottC aud she has been a
coed deal excited lately on religious mat
tora.
Ga Monday evening last she did not at
send meeting, but cosverSed Tith the other
members Of the family, on their return
from church; when the time came for re-
firing, Mr.. Hardwick accompanied visi'
tor to his room, and when he returned to
his own room Mrs. H. had diSopp cared.-
lie sought her, but not finding her he start
ed with his friend 10 search of her; they
vent to the railroad bridge, but saw moth
ing Of her, and returned to arouse the
neighbors; artoy good deal Of search, she
vas found on the bank Of the river, where
she had gotten out; she seemed to have been
restored to her mind by the shock Of plan
ging in The water, aud gave q statement o.
the whole affair; said she was on the pieI
of the bridge engaged ia prayer when hc'
husband was looking for Der; she waited
till he left, thea went down on the bank
and plunged 10; the water was deep, bu
she AOated, and realizing what she vas do
ing, she crawed out on the bank where
she was found Mr.. II. has the sincere
Sympathy ofthc community in his aflict
ion.
Mrs. Hardwick seems perfectly rational
since her recovery from the water, but il
greatly distressed,
