There occurred in this city on last Friday
morning, about 3 o'clock, one Of the most
sad and distressing tragedies it has ever
been our duty to chronicle. Mr.. VIM p.
Garrison, nn adopted son of Mr.. Henry
Garrison, and about 81 years Of age. com
mitted suicide by shooting himself through
the head with 32-calibre pistol. He Lad
been drinking quite freely for several weeks
past, though not ncglccting his business.
| On the above mentioned morning he came
into breakfast, and, nfter eating us heartily
as usual retired to his room In few
| minutes he came out and went into the
back yard, where he loaded his pistol, and
then again retired to his room, where
shortly afterwards the report of tho pistol
was heard. On opening the door of his
| room Immediately, he was found lying on
the bed i'll all unconscious state, the ball
having entered the right temple of his head
and going directly through his BRAIN lodg-
cd III or near the left temple. 4 large
| crowd was soon attracted to the house, and
| Drs. Reed and Sharpe were called in, and
did everything in their power for the un-
fortunate young man, but it of course
avaied nothing. The shot was fatal one,
and within an hours time he breathcd his
last. jury Of inquest was soon empan-
elletl, aud after hearing the evidence they
| returned verdict in accordance with the
| above facts. No reason can be assigned for
the young mans sclf-dcstruction. /. seems
| t0 have been q calm and deliberate act, for
he was perfectly at himself up to the very
time Of the commission Of the deed.
