Sad Case OF Suicide.-Alien G. North,
of the late firm of North & Oswald, who
was extensively and favorably known
throughout this section Of country, was
found cold IN death in an easy chair in his
private rooms in the Hall Block, about 0
o'clock on Monday morning. An empty
chamber of 50 calibre revolver by his
side, n hole in the right temple and anoth-
er in the top Of the head, besides II glass
partly emptied Of deadly liquid poison,
told only too plainly how the tender thread
of a life, that was supposed to have exper-
fenced scarcely ripple OF trouble, had
been suddenly severed. He belonged to
nu merous orders ard associations for NUT
ual bene fit and recreation, and could conni
his fl lends by the score. But two reasons
have been assigned, and they were only
rumors, to lead TO such tragic act. One
of these WINS to the effect that he had beer
compelled to borrow II large sum Of money
to settle with Mr. Oswald ON the occasion
of their dissolution of partnership some
weeks ago. The other was that he ha,
been heard to complain Of late of being Z
severe sufferer from dyspepsia and asthma
which made life almost unendur able: Mr.
North WAS unmarried, and about 40 year
of age. Lis parents reside in Clevelan'
and sister in Columbus. His funer u

The singular thing about

things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM

rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.

neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that

An ASYLUM for aged men and
their wives, residents OF st. Louis,
has been projected by the Women's
Christian Association of that city.
The Western Sanitary Commission
have donated $4,000, based upoa
tbs proposition that the Women's
Christian Association raise an addi-
tional sum Of not less than $4,000
bv or before January /. 1892, and
there is no doubt that the latter sum
will be subscribed. In making an
appeal forthis lanGable charity one
of the managers writes:
at is only a few years ago thatan
aged couple starved TO death in the
western suburbs OF our city. All
their liees they had toiled and lived
comfortably and respectfully, asking
nothing from any one for which
they did not offer an honest equiya-
lent. They raised their children
carefully and creditably, but one by
one they died as they reached the
age where they could assist their
parents. But two remained--a son,
who went 10 Colorado to seek his
fortune and sent no message back.
and . daughter, who married and
went to Kansas and was unable TO
help the old people, or perhaps did
not know that they needed help. At
last, the old couple, unable to work
longer, reached the point where the
hearth was cold and the lariler emp

Colonel Forney was supremeiv

matters. One instance that strong
IL illustrates this trait has caused
many a hearty laugh among bis

Of Inaay friends, among them Piece
Butler, the husband OF Fanny KEN

sum ofmo1ey in 4 new enterprise

thing of that sort. He felt finan-
ciaily able to do this BY reason Of
having made a sale OF some Lake
Superior property. He flied out
check on the Girard Bank for q very
large amount, and entrusted It to 4
friend for Collection. When the
piece Of paper was presented to the
paying teller, that official first
scratched his chin and then went 20
see the president Of the bank who AZ
that time was Mr. Boxer, father Of
Hon. George II. Boxer. fir. Boxer
came forward smilingiy and said
that while Colonel Forncy had n
large amount OF money on deposit
in the bank, the amount of his ered-
it was not equal TO that called for 3y
his check; but still, if Col. Forney
would step down TO the bank him-
self the check would 0e honored.

reason that there were not sufficient

when the Longacres Bank in Lau-

that he had q longtime deposit
there that be knew nothing OF. It

The Longevity of the Ancients.

Can man reach and pass the age
Of a hundred years ? Is q question
concerning which Psychologists have
different opinions. Buffoon was the
first one in France 70 raise the CUES
ton of the extreme limit of human
life. In his opinion, man, i,egomiag
sixteen, ought to iige ta six tines
that age, or to ninety-six years.
Having been called upon to account
for the phenomenal ages attributed
by the Bible to the patsiarchs, he
riskcd the following as an exp.ana-
ton: Before the food theearth was
less solid, less compact than il Is
now. The law of gravitation had
acted only for a little time, the pro
ductions Of the globe had less con
sistency, and the body Of man, be-
ing more supple, was more suscepti-
bic of extension. Being able to grow
for longer time, it should, in conse-
quence. live for longer time than
now
The German Heusler has suggest
ed on the same point that the an
clients did not divide time as We do.
Previous to the age Of Abraham the
year, among some people OF she east,
was only three months. or Il season /:
SO that they had a year Of spring,
one of summer, and one of winter.
