lived during the past live years, and du-
ring which time he WIS an intense suf
ferer from asthma Although there was
nothing extraordinary in the conduct of
! Mir. Thompson that would lead one to
suppose that he contemplated so rash
an act, it is certain that he went about
preparing for it deliberately and in a
business way. The day previous he took
| the ladder from the orchard and placed.
IL in its accustomed place in the barn;
he then baLhed himself, and it is pre-
sumed. wrote the following note which
| was found on his person without date

his sister Mrs Dixon: | am sorry TO
write this My afiiictiUn has been sore

of enduring il longer. Bury me at ST.
Ciairsville, or Glencoe if you prefer.
Use plain coffin. My suit of clothes
will be sufficiently good. L am very
thankful for the kind attention l have
received during my atfiictiUn. Do not
weep for me. | leave ali with God and
ask forgiveness.
On Saturday, Mr.. Dixon and son be-
ing from home, Mrs. Dixon and Mr..
Thompson were the sole occupants.
About o'clock in the morning Thomp-
son, as was his custom, went out appar-
emily to look after the farm in
terests, and went directly TO the barn
and aScended the ladder and climbed cut |
on the cross beam TO which he secured |

was found, his feet within a foot of the
floor.
Not coming to dinner when the bell
rang, his sister went to the barn to look
for him, and opening the barn door the
IifeleSs body of her brother dangling
rom rope met her gaze. The screams
