Distressing suicide.

wELG4To-Do FARMER OF CHRISTINA HID. CUTS
HIS THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR-No CAUSE AS
SIGNED FOR THE TERRIBLE DEED.
A most distressing suicide occurred in Christi
ana Hundred, early Oh Monday morning. The
victim Of his own rashness was well-known
farmer, Mr.. l. Garrett Pyle, who has resided in
the Hundred for many years and succeeded by
his industry and thrift in amassng comfortable
fortune, and owned the farm near ssthe Walnut
Green School House, where he resided with his
wife and two children.
The facts in the case are that about one o'clock
yesterday morning, the wife of the unfortunate
man, who sleeps IN 3 separate apartment with
one OF the children, her husband occupying an
adjoining room was disturbed by the noise in
tile chamber below ~ Of heavy body falling
upon the floor. She Immediately went below to
discover the cause Of the disturbance. Upon
entering the dining room, she found lamp
dimly burning, and upon peering further in the
room beleld . sight that fairly froze the blood
in her veins. Stretched across the center of
the apartment, with his throat cut from ear to
ear, and completely saturated in his own blood,
lay her husband in the last contortions of death:
She spoke to him but received no answer, and
in moment he was dead.
The house was immediately reused, and the
unfortunate man removed to his bed. His
throat was literally cut in twain, and the entire
neck with the exception of the spinal column,
entirely severed.
Mr.. Pyle was iifty-two years of age and III
good health At the time of his death. No cause
can be satisfactorily assigned for the deed, and
although several rumOrs are in circulation re-
fecting upon his wifes character ~ an excuse
we are assured by persons who are intimately
acquainted with the family that such charges are
| groundless.
The coroner held All inquest Monday, and {
| verdict OF death "from his own hands WAS ron

You are correct in saying "tows in the canal have
been, this year. about half the size there were
before the panic. There have been shipped
from the Upper Level 40, 900 baskets Of peaches

A very large crop of apples is being gathered

may succeed in such an undertaking.

vocal music are held every Monday night at st..
Georges, and every Tuesday at Delaware City.

improved since Prof. Root came down among us.
