ET There seems to be, if we may say so, an epidemic of suicide about this time. We have report of one particularly in Lafay- cite, Ind, illustrating the danger of me chanical genius too great for sanity. James A. Moore, an inventor and member of the society of Friends, registered at the Lake House and paid his board in advance for week. He then visited a machine shop where he had riveted to the head of broad-ax two bars of iron. On either side, fastened to these bars like handle to an ax, he arranged system of wooden bars The extreme end of these was fastened to cross-piece secured to the floor by hinges. The ax was raised and held in nearly per pendicular position by cords fastened to the wall. Between the cords stood candle so fixed as to burn them off and let down the ax. Under this Moore placed basket filled with cotton which had been saturated with chloroform. He placed his head Tn this and speedily became inscnsble. The cord was burned, the sx fell, and tLe heud was completely severed from the body. He left paper on the side of his guillotine in- scribed: For sale or rent, Hari-kari. Pat ent applied for

 Burglaries still continue, and the burglars cannot be caught. Early last Wednesday morning Q man entered the house of Jewel CT Blackman and took ten watches from a box near his bed, without awakening MT. Blackman or his family; he next tried the house of Mrs. Royal Davis on South Main street. He entered the yard took off his shoes. stockings, coat, suspenders, etc., and wrapped the watches in his coat, laying the bundle near the fence. Albert McMahon, who boards with George Anthony just op- posite the Davis place, had intended to drive away at 8 a. m., and arose little be- fore that hour. As he looked from his window he saw the burglar operating across the way, and calling Anthony, they started out with the purpose of catching hlm. When within fifteen feet they advised him to halt. The command was not obeyed, and McMahon at once fired at him, and thinks he hit him. The burglar ran up the street like deer, closely pursued by both Anthony and McMahon. They fired three times at him, and he fired three times in re- turn, yet he managed to escape. The whole neighborhood soon started in pursuit, but without success He of course had nc time to gather up his clothing and watches, and it is hoped that the clothing may yet prove clue to his detection......The par ties who stole the harness and gun last spring from David Soule have fled tho town. Mir, Soule recovered both, and tried hard to get the thieves before they escaped

Charles Phillips, one of the men that was injured by the premature discharge of the cannon on the fourth of July, was bur fed yesterday. The firemen in their parade suits escorted the body to the grave in very solemn manner. Charlie was very active member of the fire company. He was carpenter by trade and had been em- ployec for long tune by the Housatonic railroad company, and was well known on the line of the railroad. MT.

The state was accepted by an over whelming majority-not quite unanimous ly, but near enough to call 1t 'all one way Those who voted against the state govern ment did SO on the ground that territorial government was the cheapest for the peo- pie of Colorado. as the federal government has to bear most of the expenses of terri tory. But Colorado comes into the Union in time to vote for Presidential electors in November, the only requirement needed to complete the adoption of the state govern ment being the Presidents proclamation, declaring Colorado to be state. This will be issued as soon as the official returns of the election are completed.

The New Postnl Bill.

The section in the Post-oflce Appropria- ton bill in relation to third-class matter which has passed both houses of Congress, is as follows:
 Transient newspapers and magazines, reg ular publications designed primarily for ad- vertising purposes, or for free circulation, or for circulation at nominal rates, and all printed matter of the third-class, except un- sealed circulars, shall be admitted to and transmitted in the mails at the rate of one cent for every two ounces or fractional part thereof, and one cent for each two ad- ditional ounces or fractional part thereof 1; and the sender of any article of the third class or mail matter may write his or her name or address thereon, or on the outside thereof. with the word from above or pre- ceding the same, or may write briefly or in print on any package the Dumber and names of the articles inclosed.
 Publishers of newspapers and periodicals may print on the wrappers or magazines sent from the office of publication to regu- lar subscribers the time to which the sub scr1ption thereof has been paid; and ad- dresses upon postal cards and unsealed circulars may be either written, printed or affixed thereto at the option of the sender.
 From the above it is seen that all printed matter of the third-class, except circulars unsea.ed, is restored to the old rate. In other words, all transient newspapers, mag azines, books, all printed matter with the exception of circulars unsealed, will be re stored to the former rates of one cent fol every two ounces, while merchandise and unsealed circulars will remain at the pre-. ent rate.
 The bill appropriates in the aggregate fol the transportation of the mails $15, 837, s6l. That embraces the star routes-th, steamboat lines at s6, 7s7 1851, and the rail road routes at 9s, 100. OOo-against the esti- mates of the department of little nor, than $17, ,500. .000-a reduction upon tn, item of transportation of the mails of $l, 6s2, l49. There is nothing in the bill which affects fast mails, which depend upol special arrangements between the Postmas ter-General and the railroads.
