Husband and Wife Driven to Suicide by the Sian.
der of Village GnSsins

Some months ago Prof w. II. Brown and his
wife resided in the village of Red Hook N. j.,
licious boys having grudge against the wife
originated a story about her which has been
proved to be utterly without foundation. 1t
became, however, the village gossip. The lady
in vain protested her innocence, and finally,
driven to madness by cruel insults, she
committed suicide by taking arsenic. Imme-
diately after the funeral the grief-stricken hus-
band left the town, and few days since the
news reached Red Hook that he too, had died
by his own hand
