ed intelligence by telegraph of the death of
his father, Mr.. Ira Draper at Bellows Falls.
He went to Bellows Falls by the six o'clock
train and this morning he writes that it was
with great establishment that he learned on
reaching there that his fathers death was by
suicide No one had ever in the slightest de-
gree apprehended such an event, although
Mr.. Draper has been for years an invalid.

n painful carbunole, and II seems that this,
with some aggravation Of long-standing
chronic troubles had completely disheartened
him. He left note saying that poor health
and no hope of any better led to the act
