Sad Occurrence,
SUICIDE IN THIS COUNTY.


Early on Monday morning of last week, Mr..
James RAIDER, aged % years. son of Mr.. Henry
RAIDER, respectable citizen, living near Her
mitage in this county, committed suicide by
hanging in his fathers barn. He was first dis
covered by his sister who went to the barn to
milk the cows. He attached the rope to pole
above and after putting the moose around his
neck, whilst standing on a barrel, he leaped
from the barrel and hanged himself, and wac
dead when discovered by his sister. He was a
young man of good character and Of industri-
Gus habits. His mind was affected by disease
contracted in Illinois to which State he remov-
ed near year ago. and from which hereturned
to his fathers home about month ago, suffer-
ing with ague, and his health much impaired.
His father was not at home at the time. hav-
ing left early that morning to 60 to Sherando.
The son opened the gate for him, and, when he
he had passed through, said, goodbye"
Little did the father think that he would new.
er see his son alive again, and that he was say
ing goodbye to him for the last time; but
alas, such was the case. He went to the barn
soon after, and put an end to his earthly exis-
tence. The bereaved family have the sincere
sympathy of the whole community.
On the next day, the remains of the son were
buried in the graveyard at Mt. Zion Church.
A large number of friends and neghbors attend
ed. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
G. Beard of the Lutheran Church.
