perior Judge of this county, was found dead
in the parOr of his residence under circum-
stances which leave 10 room to doubt that he
committed suicide. The Democratic County

defeat him. He went home about l. O'Clock

in the temple with Il pistol. Death must have
been instantaneous. The pistol was found be
side him, one chamber empty Deceased was

try. The Democratic Convention will probably
be postponed on account of the event
