CHESTER.
suIoIDE OF JOHN s. ADAMS.

1
John ). Adams, u son of Hon. Luthe,
Adams, of North Chester, committed
suicide at about IL o'clock of Saturday
morning of last week. The immediate
cause of this act is attributed to disap.
pointment in love, but the main cause
of all was probably incorporate habits,
and it is said he had been drinking heay.
ly during the past week. After taking
the poison he went to the house of James
Finley and told Mrs. Finley, a sister Of
Miss Fisher, for whom he was in love,
what he had done and died before a
physician could be summoned. The
Rutland Globe says that on Tuesday OF
last week he spent the day in Ludlow,
where he imbibed somewhat heavily and
purchased some thirty dollars worth of
goods at Hammond's store for his woman,
as he called her. A friend accompanied
him home to Chester. He had some five
or six hundred dollars with him on that
occasion, probably belonging to his faith
er. The same evening he hired man
to carry him to Charlestown, N. H.,
where Miss Fisher was stopping, and it
is supposed he met with rather cold
reception, causing still greater frenzy
and which led to the committal of the
fatal deed. A few years since he is said
to have attempted suicide, because of a
love affair.
Mr.. Adams was well known in this
section, as a newspaper correspondent
and for some months he has been a gen.
eral correspondent of the Boston Journ-
al. He was member of the 7th vol
unteers, and studied law with his father,
Hon, Luther Adams, highly esteemed
citizen, and well known throughout the
state, and who has the kind sympathy of
many friends and acquaintance in this
sad event
Another statement of particulars of
Mr.. Adams suicide, and a card from J.
w. Stearns we cannot find room for this
week.

people Of this town may feel justifable
pride This was the first opportunity
the people of this village have had of
hearing the two quartettes Of Saxtons

crowded state Of the hall the committee
were unable to seat the audience as was
their intention, and those in the rear of
the hall were unable to hear those for
