The exuberant fecundity Of the imaginative

number Of odd looking instruments OF flint,
six inches long, an inch broad, and quarter
of an inch thick. After close examination
of these unique curiosities, and large amount
of reckondite cackling over them by learned
geological experts, they were pronounced to
be flint knives of the ver,able stone age.
The discovery was hailed as great acquis-
ton to science; and in the opinion OF these
learned pundits, went far to prove that man
existed and delved and worked with tools al
period far earlier than any Of which we
have any record in the Bible. GeologiSt:

About 2 o'clock Friday a man
named Michael Killeer. forty years OF
age and native of Ireland, com
mitted suicide by jumping into the
river at the head of st Mary street

visited the scene of the tragedy aud

lie states that three times before
his father had made attempts to CON-
nit suicide, but that he prevented
him. That be has for some time
past been a habitual drunkard, and
would often beg money and some
times steal il from his wife 70 buy
whisky.
Friday morning he went to his wife
and asked for ten cents. She refused,
whereupon be told her that he would
drown himself. He then went out
from the house to put his threat into
execution, when his son followed him
about block behind.
He went to the levee to the ship
Exponder, and taking hold of the rope
at the stern slid down into the water
and was drowned before the son could
reach the spot. About half an hour
afterwards mis- son recovered his body
about twenty yards from the spo
where it had gone down.
The deceased was a cotton screweI
by trade, and leaves a wife AM
family.
The Coroner held an inquest AM
returned verdict that the deceased
! had come to his death by drownin:
himself. The body was then conveye'
