had been in manya fight, perhaps, for
his country. The body was dry, and
1t is thought had been %iiieless for at
least 10 days. The weather being
cool, decay had not commenced as
vet. 1t is thought he was crazy from
trouble, both in mind and body.
Having no money, and being in the
coun ry, it Is not probable that he
was drunk. When intoxicated, he
was generally IN a good humor, and
would not have hung himself. His
remains were inferred under the tree
on which he died. Having chosen
this place to die, it was thought a fit
resting place for his remains. We
suppose he had not been to town
since he wrote the letter, and had no
chance to send it. Perhaps he thought
no assistance would grow out of it,
and had given up the idea.
This is a most terrible thing. TIC
what extremities must a man be re-
duced to destroy life, which is dearer
to most men than all else. What
hope could he have had of the future
when he knew his last act was COW

not his? We do not think suicides

off the public debt, but the necessity OF
