KILLS HIMSELF THROUGH DRsPoNDENCy-The
Brattleboro Reformer gives the following account
OF the suicide at Hnsdale, New Hampshire, OF
George Arnold Of Burlington: He had attended
temperance meeting during the evening, and
the deep fit Of dependency which had enveloped
him for some time was very much increased by
the speakers illusions to a mothers boy A
friend from Keene slept with him, and was
awakened in the night by Arnolds striking a
lamp, when he said; I'm no mothers boy;
can't stand this any longer, and seized his pistol
and shot himself diagonally through the heart
from the right breast killing him instantly.
Whether he was only partially awake, or his
melancholy had been intensified into something
like insanity, 1t Is impossible TO tell"

CHEAP NEwsPAPERs-The Bellows Falls Times
and Woodstock Standard have been giving their
readers some excellent reasons why good news
paper cannot be proftaby furnished to sub
scribers for less than two dollars year. The
Standard says: "Many times we have been
asked. as other publishers have. why don't you
come down In price with everything else? Our
price before the war was the same as now, and
all through that trying period we continued on
the same terms and thereby lost large amount
OF money No man ought to print, nor can he
afford to print paper the size Of this, and on
which 80 much care and labor are expended, for
less than two dollars per year. The great mass
OF our readers appreciate this and we only speak
10 those who do not seem TO understand the mat
ter But there is another and new consideration
which the Times omits to mention, namely. the
upward tendency In prices OF everything, white
paper among them. Grain, butter. eggs and all
kinds Of produce are booming and SO is print
paper. The last we heard 1t was reported two
or three ccnts higher per pound than few weeks
ago"

CABoT.-The village schools closed last Friday
with an examination in the higher department,
taught by Mr.. A. B. Kinnerson. In the examine
ton each class showed the instruction given the
past term had been thorough and correct, such
as only finished scholar like Mr. Kinnerson can
give; bat the scholars or teacher had very little
encouragement as far as attendance upon the ex-
ercises was concerned, the number attending being
small that they must be pretty well convinced
that the citizens feel little or no interest in the
school,. :. Miss Jenny Thomas received a severe
injury in her back by falling on the back OF a
chair while attending the last school social at
village hall last Friday evening. Her limbs were
paralyzed, and at the present writing she is in
quite q critical condition. William G. Swan is
putting in q single machine in John Brown s

Mrs GEORGE d. NAsH.-The death OF Mrs
George d. Nash OF Duxbury on the 2Sth ult /,
leaves vacant place In a large circle Of friends
not easily filled. She was born February 18th,
ls27-the eldest daughter OF Mr.. Gideon Hill,
formerly resident Of Duxbury and Waterbury.
In lsi7 there gathered at her fathers house twelve
sons and daughters--ot whom seven now remain
but time has 80 scattered them that only three
sisters could stand beside her new-made grave.
With united voice they testify of her almost
motherly care and interest In the younger mem
beers Of the family, and not one Of their children
lacks token Of her warm affection. In ls48 she
was married TO Mr.. Nash and TO them a daughter
and three sons were born-two OF the latter have
long waited the coming OF their mother to rest by
their side. From early youth she has been an
earnest Christian-a member OF the Methodist
church NJ Waterbury. Since last spring she has
been In decline, but not until two or three
weeks before her death was she confined to the
house. Nothing was wanting by way Of faithful
attention on the part OF loving husband, daugh-
ter aud son, or OF sympathy from neighboring
friends, 70 make her last hours most peaceful,
She gladly answered the summons, which called
her hence and upon the breath OF song
"Jcsus make the dying bed
Az soft "a dowpy pillows Are,"
her spirit took its flight to the petter world.
