pair Of herses hitched to aspring-wagon
and left his team standing in the street

suicide If closely foiiu each other,
would have startled the whole Union.
In the South such instances were almost
unknown. But a wonderful change has
occurred. The aggregate of suicides In
the United States during the past year
would average from one to three erery

There have been more than a dozen

Zone day last week a Mrs. Richard
Harriss, living In Judkins' Township In
this county. committed suicide by shoot
ing herself with a shot gun, the entire
discharge Of the gun entering her body
in front and passing through her. The
cause Of such a fearful act is not known.
Her husband was absent from home,
and the children, several in number,
were out playing when they heard the
export Of the gun. She had taken oc-
%casion, we learn, to tell her children
during the early part of the same day,
whom she wished to take care of each
ofthem when she died, but they thought
nothing of her telling them that and
especially was it far from their thoughts
that she vas contemplating taking her
W life. With ner usual motherly
instructions she had, a short while pre-
vious to the act, sent her children out to
play cautioning them not to get their feet
