DISTRESSING SUICIDE.

1t is our painful duty to record the
death, by bis own hand, of Thomas
E. McCutchen, an estimable citizen
of this parish, who has for the past
fifteen years been living on what is
known as the Richardson place, near
Rose Hill, on the Keachi road. Tues
day morning he seemed cheerful,
though he did not eat anything ut
breakfast. He hired some hands to
Kill hogs and went cut of the house
with his gun. Shortly after, the re-
port Of a gun was heard near the
house, but his wife supposed that he
had shot hog and paid no special
attention to it. Shortly afterwards
he was found in the stable with his
brains blown out. These are all the
particulars we could learn of tho sad
affair.
Deceased leaves q devoted and
most estimable wife and six children,
the eldest Of whom is about IL years
Of age. He was 8 kind and indul-
gent husband and father and had
been q worthy and useful citizen.
Of late years, however, he had been
unfortunate in his farming oper-
ations and became depressed in spir-
its. Unfortunately his financial
troubles induced habits of intemper-
ance which resulted in self destruc-
ton. He was ever kindhearted, not
only toward his family, but all the
world.-Shrereport Times.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-01-15

which his uncouth and dirty garb and
appearance could not hide, efforts
were often made by hunters and
other chance persons who happened
in the vicinity to engage him in con-
versation. He refused to speak to
any one and stunned the sight ct all.
In clear weather he could be seen
sitting ut the entrance to his cabin,
deeply engaged in reading one OF
the few books saved by him and TAX
en- to cheer the hours of his self
chosen solitude. He refused NIL offers
of assistance and lived on the refuse
picked up along the beach. His hut
contained motley collection of arti-
Giles cast up by the sea, and was foul
and loatlsome in the extreme. Among
bis effects and possessions were dis
covered q number of letters from his
family in Germany. In them his
relatives stated that they were cogni-
zant of the fact that he was leading
the life of q hermit and was engaged
in catching logs on the strands of
the Pacific ocean," They begged
him to give up his mode of living and
send to them for assistance, which
would be cheerfully accorded.
Of the misguided woman whose
conduct drove Hoeffel to such lone
ly life, which ended in such a miser-
able death, there is no account. 1t
is stated that one day while driving
along the beach in an open carriage
she met her husband comblng the
sands in a search for food. The noise
attracted his attention, and, rising
from his STOPPING position, he at once
espied her. The recognition was mu-
tual and he started towards her. She
gave orders to the driver to whip up
his horses, in order to escape the I'M
welcome sight of the man she had
ruined. Hoeflel ran after the vehicle,
crying: "My wife! my wife" and
after going short distance he fell
from exhaustion, and the carriage,
with occupant, disappeared in the
distance. Soon after this event his
wife left the city, and it is said that
she is now residing in one of the
Eastern cities. Hocffell was about
