this place, committed suicide, by drowning
in the outlet of Scott lake, Monday morning
The old people have been in distressed cir
cumstances for years, portion of which has
been passed in the poor house. About
week ago they were burned out, as noticed
last week, and have since been staying with
different people, who would take them in.
They went the last of the week, to Mr.
Johnson's, at Scott lake, Mr.. Fletcher leav-
ing his wife there while he went away on
peddling tour. Monday morning she went
out early, and some of the family noticed
her standing on the bank of the creek.
Looking out few moments later, she had
disappeared. Fearing something was wrong,
they went right out. She had hung her
shawl on a bush and laid her cane beside it.
Looking down the creek they discovered the
body, floating face down. Help was sum-
moned and the body got out, but not until
life was sextinct.-Breedscil6 Cor. Adcance.
