THE st. Mary's Observer says that Mr..
Isaac Postlewait, living near the line OF
Peasants and Richie counties, at
tempted to commit suicide short time
ago. One end of Il rope was fastened
around ioist and the other about his
neck. He then let himself easily down
off a chair, but rs the rope was little
short it began 10 choke him, so that he
had 10 make several attempts with
knife which he happened TO have in his
hand before the rope was cut. When
F, liberated, he saw his wife standing in
the door, smiling. He exclaimed in
words more forcible than elegant:

A SINGULAR illustration OF the Tact that
| the rosy and the black in the web Of life
are frequently spun together was lately
given in Jacksonville, little station on
the p, v. 4 c. railway. VIM. Bonner
and Mary MIcGue were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony. The Cere-
mony was over, the congratulations said
and the blooming couple sat down to
supper. But while they sat at the wed
ding feast, death entered the merry
company, and laid his icy fingers on the
heart of old Thomas Kenny, the grand
father Of the bride. lie was stricken
with epilepsy, and in few seconds he
was dead, and those who had come 10
rejoice with the young bride at her mar
riage, stayed to comfort her in her
mourning. Mr.. Kenny had been I'M
well for some weeks, but was able to 90
about on the day of the wedding.
