Attempt at Suicide.

Patrick Holland, a Young Man. Cuts His
 Throat with n Jack-Knife-FOund i'm a
 Vegetable Acknowledgements the
 Cause of the Rash Act.
 sad case of attempted suicide occurred at the corner of Blatchley avenue and East Chapel street yesterday morning, when young man whose real name is said to be Patrick Holland, but who was known as Hen- ry Holland, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with the small blade of jack-knife. Holland, who is about IS years
 of age, was em pIoyed at A. T. & c. B. Dem arest's carriage factory on Chapel street,
 near Hamilton, where he was learning the
 trade of blacksmith. On Friday noon last
 young Holland informed his employers that
 he would have to stop work as he was sick
 with dumb ague and had been so afflicted for
 some time. He obtained permission to leave
 the factory, and that was the last seen of
 him by his employers It is said that Hol-
 land went to Fair Haven on Saturday and re- mained over night with friends, leaving about , o'clock in the morning. About 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning word was sent to the police office that man was lying in vegetable garden with his throat cut. The chief and another officer immediately re- paired to the spot and found the unfortunate | man laying between the rows of some lima
 beans covered with blood and the knife
 with which he attempted to take his life by \ his side. He was at once removed to the | hospital on the advice of physician, and his wounds were promptly dressed. It was l found that he had made two stabs in his neck ' I-ar .. l and when he did this he did not reach the | most vital part, the carotid artery, but es- capped it by about quarter of an inch. The | wind pipe, however, was nearly severed, and I there were two slight stabs found in his | breast. Dr. Augur, house physician at the hospital, stated last evening that the young man was in precarious condition, although ! if he survived the shock for few hours ! longer he might recover. Young Holland is
 reported to have been very correct in his habits faithful to his employers and bid fair ! to make good mechanic MT. c. W. Booth, l who is a carriage smith in the employ of the Messrs. Demarest, has known Holland from boyhood and says he was always steady and trustworthy. Mir. Booth will notify the ! father of the young man, whose home is in Northcastle, town of Bedford, Westchester county, New York, of the sad occurrence.
 Mir. Booth says he has noticed for some time | that Holland was Respondent, but could not | account for it in any other way except it was | the result of the dumb ague, with which he was afflicted.
 Late last evening Holland was failing and l the chances of his recovery were considered doubtful.
 The unfortunate young man died at mid night.

A gentleman of Bridgeport was an inter ested and amused party in an episode which occurred Friday evening at the South Norwalk depot While strolling about the platform waiting for train, he saw woman slip on something and nearly fall. Full of sympathy and politeness, he hurried to the rescue and assisted her to rise. As she assumed an up- right attitude, however. something escaped from her possession that at once caught her benefactor's eye. It was nothing else than his valise which he had left in the depot minute before, and which, it appeared, the distressed female was trying to get away with. The gentleman is more than ever con vinced that politeness does pay.

Kelsey, which has been run ming all summer from Norwich to Block Island, will leave Belle Dock this Monday evening at 10 o'clock, as will be seen by the advertisement. The month of October is the best fishing month in the year, and no fogs. Everyone that goes expects to catch the large fish, and the cod will doubtless be abundant when the Kelsey returns, for Mir.

A New Departure.

One good result of the hard times few years ago was the bringing into life an article in proprietary medicine, which gave to every purchaser full equivalent for his money. The rule of this class of medicines is from 10 to 20 doses for $1, the best only reaching 40. Messrs. Hood & Go. took a new departure and in the article now so we'll and favorably known as Hoods SarsaparilIa they gave the unprecedented quantity of 100 doses for $1. These facts commend this remedy to the con- sideration of the sick, also of the well, for they are liable to be sick.
