Suicide of Young Girl-A Lady's Sad
Death-POlitical.

Special to the Gazette.
GRANDvrEw, April l9.-T. P. Torian,
Esq, justice of the peace, was called
to the country on yesterday, some
three miles north of this place, to in
vestgate case of suicide. Miss
Georgia +. Perkins, about fifteen
years old, school girl living with her
brother-in-law b. III. Crick, COM
mitted suicide by taking an overdose
of morphine; such was the verdict Of
the jury ofinquest. She admitted she
had taken the morphine and gave as
her only reason that she was troubled
and wanted to die. The family dis.
covered she had taken the poison
early on the evening of the 18th, but
believing she had not taken enough to
do her any harm permitted her to re-
tire as usual and next morning at four
o'clock found her dead. 1t seems
there was want of proper watchful-
ness and attention.
Mrs. Ellenora SAMSON, wife of Col.
Il. NJ. Sinsom, died this morning at
20 minutes to 4 o'cl elk, after
an illness of six weeks. That death
loves a shining mark has, in this
insta nee, been verified. 1t seems to
us selfish and short-sighted mortals
hard that one in the full glow Of
womanhood, with happy home, sur
rounded by all that heart could wish,
should be taken so soon.
The fond, affectionate and faithful
husband, ever mindful of her slightest
wish, approaching the many noble
and amiable qualities of wife 80 pure,
so good and 80 dutiful, and the dear
little orphan boys to whom she was SO
kind, gentle and loving, will miss her
when they gather around the evening
hearth-stOne, and in their grief and
sorrow long for that consolation that
cometh from Him who called the dear
one to happier, brighter and sweetef
chimes.
