Suicide mt Audenricd.

William Willis, Of Audenried, committed
suicide on Thursday of last week, by cutting
his throat with q razor, severing the arteries
so thoroughly that medical aid, though
promptly summoned was useless. Mr.. Will
lis had been i'll from dyspepsia for long
time, which trouble, coupled with an i'm
preston that he had enemies watching to
do him injury, had made him very low
spirited. His family ,however,did not think
him likely to do aught of the above nature,
and, therefore, did not watch him closely.
Thursday he felt rather worse than usual,
seeming unable to rest at all in his room and
his wife twice found him down stairs on
one Of which trips he must have secured the
fatal weapon. The sad act was committed
between 7 and o'clock p. m., and was first
discovered by Mrs. Willis, who saw blood
trickling to the floor. She, thinking he had
burst blood vessel, gave an alarm, when a
neighbor came in, TO whom Mr.. Willis pass
ed the razor, apparently desiring to hide
from his wife what he had done. He SEEM
ed fully conscious at this time of what he
had done, and when asked his reasons for it
he put his hand to his head, to indicate that
it was trouble there. Deceased was a man
of steady habits, consistent christian for
several years, and generally esteemed by his
townsmen,-thus leaving no explanation for
his suicide than that of temporary insanity,
caused by melancholy. He was young
man, 27 years of age, and leaves wife, two
children, and a large circle of relatives to
lament his end.-Hazleton Sentinel.

ALch,nbtonInn I'm Kansas,

Many Of our readers remember William
Trenery, who left here for Washington
county, Kansas, over year ago. A letter
received from him few days ago, informs
us that he left that place, some weeks ago
on an "oxploring" expedition !. e., looking
for place where he hoped TO do better than
he was doing in Washington county. Pack
ing his blacksmith tools, furniture and family
in wagons, he hitched up and marched west
ward. About three or four weeks ago he
struck Hayes City, in Ellis county, where,
visiting the Government Land Office, he
found IL crowded with persons taking up
land and so constant is the demand, that
he thinks there will not be quarter-section
left in that vicinity within year. "Farm-
ing is slow business to make money at in
this country; the people live like ground
hogs-in little holes in the ground" From
Hayes City, he continued his journey in
search Of a location to Grand Centre, in
Osborn county, where he took up piece of
land under the Timber Culture law and
for the present, at least, has settled down.
Mr.. Trenery concludes his letter as follows !:
awe travelled through nineteen counties
thought would see the country before
settled down. Travelling altogether, sleep
ing in the wagon and cooking by the road
side, and at night tied the horses TO the
