Sulclde.-rhe following particulars re-
gardlng the suicide of Mr.. Troup we
take from The NetUS: Harvey l..
Troup, highly respected and prosper
Gus farmer of Oliver township, between
the hours of two and three on Tuesday
morning committed suicide by hanging.
Mr.. Troup was greatly interested in
matters of religion, the welfare of his
soul being the constant anxiety of his
life. His soul was uppermost in his
mind at all times, and he was devout
and pious man, commanding the admi-
ration and respect of all who knew him
because of his principles and sincerity
of purpose in the religious tenets he
practiced. But he feared he was eternal
lily lost. The matter preyed on his
mind, and his mother and friends re-
monstrated with him, telling him his
soul was all right, and his fears were
Donly hallucinations of the mind. For
the past few weeks his condition grew
more alarming, and day and night
vigilant watch was kept over him, for
the fond mother and loving wife saw
that their dutiful son and faithful hus-
band was losing his mind.
On Tuesday morning the wife heard the
clock strike two, and her husband was
still by her side. She subsequently got
awake, and he had left her. She feared
the worst, but hoped that he had not
been gone long enough to do violence to
himself. Search was Immediately be-
gun by her, and the boy started off to
hcquaint the neighbors of what had
taken place, they all knowing of their
friends misfortune.
In the meantime the wife looked in
the canal, behind the barn, and all
around, but the darkness and natural
horror surrounding their expectations
made them fearful to ascend into the
hay-mow. She returned to the house,
and then it was quarter after three
o'clock. Help coming, the search was
renewed and Philip Troup, a cousin of
the deceased, and Charley Heinbach
climbed up ladder, twelve or more
feet, on to the NOW filled within eight
or ten feet of the roof with hay, and
there hung the body of Harvey Troup,
cold and lifeless, his feet within ten
inches of the newly-cured clover, while
a half inch MANILA rope, secured to a
rafter, held fast by simply tapping it
around the light timber twice, was hold
ing him up by the neck, and his life went
out in this way. The body was taken
down and left on the hay until Coro-
ner Zinn arrived on the scene about s
o'clock, when it was removed to the
house and an inquest held, the jury sit
ting on the case being Benz Baltozer,
Jacob Lineaweaver, Thomas Hancy,
Ephraim Rider and Peter Dearborn.
A verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts embodied in this account
of the affair.
The scene of the melancholy tragedy
is located on the banks of the Juniata
river, about two and half miles above
Newport, on the old Troup homestead,
where the deceased was born just 35
years ago last Sunday, where his father
was also born, and died suddenly of
heart disease eighteen years ago.

AN ANECDOTE.


Some years ago, when Elder Knapp
was wrestling with the devil for the
souls of sinners in aud around Stock
ton, a prominent citizen became con-
victed of sin, and after an arduous
struggle, found Jesus Anxious to
signalize his conversion by an act of
generosity to the church which had
pointed out to him the way of saliva
ton, he declared his intention of do.
mating to the Lords service forty
acres of wheat growing near the city.
Rejoicing in the evidence of a change
of heart in the neophyte, two elders
of the church proceeded to the farm,
and, assisted by the convert, measured
and staked off the forty acres of -four
ishing wheat donated to the Lord and
all was lovely. But from want of rain
or some other cause it was found as
the season advanced that the crop was
only fit to cut for hay-and it was so
disposed of. Soon after, the convert
met with one of the elders and in
formed him of the facts. The good
brother, though rather disappointed,
remarked that forty or fifty tons of
hay, which was about the yield of tho
land, would, at seven dollars . ton, be
great help to the church, and re.
quested that it should be sent to
market without delay. But the young
Christians zeal had somewhat CO oled.
Il did not promise the Lord my hay
promised wheat and ~ he did not
cause the forty acres to produce wheat.
concluded he did not want it; SO 1
shall keep the hay for my own use.'
