/SUICIDE.-The community was
lkveatly shocked last Sunday, by the
Jews that Mr.. Nelson Fuller, of Nun.
ger Street, had committed suicide. 1t
seems that Mr.. Fuller had been in a

caught a severe cold about a month
ago, from which his spell seemed to
date. In these moods he often express
sed desire to die. His wife had look
ed after him and was hoping that this
feeling would pass away. On Satur-
day night sic had been no with him

of carrying it in his pocket book. 1t
