ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.-Last Monday eve
ming, in the parish of st. Bernard, Charles
Albert attempted to commit suicide by
shooting himself in the head with pistol
He inflicted upon himself severe wound
Just below the right temple. Failing to
ind death by this method, the unfortunate
man strove to roll into the river, but was
too weak to do so. Albert then managed to
crawl to the nearest house, where he was
received and cared for by the inmates until
Yesterday evening, when he was brought
to the Charity Hospital Albert had no
money. no friends, and was out Of employ
ment. He was Respondent, and sought death
by his own hand. 1t is scarcely possible
that he will recover. His sufferings are in
tense, and horrible to witness. The critical
nature of the wound and its peculiar loca-
tAon prevent the surgeons from active
measures for relief. Albert is native
of Saxony, and is twenty-six years OF age.
He has been in this country only few
weeks.
