a young lady, Miss Jane Mur,lnck.
took passage on the Ouachita Belle,
on Thursday last, at Rodney, Missis-
sippi, and engaged passage for st.
Joseph. Soon after the boat left the
Rodnry'landing, Miss Mnrdock was
seen to jump overheard from tho
stern of the boat, and sink beneath
the waves. Some months ago her
only sister died, and since then she
has seemed very Respondent. and it is
not unlikely that grief for her dead
sister caused the rash act. Her
brother lives in Tcnsas parish, and
the sudden news Of his sisters drown
ing came near breaking the poor man
down. All he said was that he did
not wish to hear a human voice
again. Madison JOurn0i
