ATTEMPT TO COm,rIr SUICIDE.

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Tuesday morning, this week, Thomas
Render, an old gentleman 81 years of
age, living with William Wamack about
three miles west of here, made an at
tempt to take his life by cutting his
throat with razor, and although he did
not succeed, yet he inflicted such a terri
BILE wound that he will surely die. The
family got up as usual about five O'Clock
and as Mrs. Wammack was passing the
door of the room occupied by the old
gentleman, she saw him standing up, a
razor in one hand and feeling his throat
with the other. She ran in and said,
Give me the razor, you want TO kill
yourself. y He said, mo; am going to
shave Thereupon she went out with
her husband into the yard, remaining a
few minutes, and when they returned
and went by the door again they were
Mortified at seeing the old man, living on
the floor, in pool of blood. On the
table near by lay the razor. carefully
folded up, with which he had made the
fearful attempt. DIR. Gasser, of this city,
was Immediately summoned, but he pro-
nounced the wound of so serious a ma
ture that recovery would be extremely
doubtful. The windpipe and food chan
mel were completely severed. The old
man seemed to be in his right mind, and
only regretted that he did not succeed in
accomplishing his purpose. We have
heard nothing of him since, but it is sup
posed that he cannot live more than a
few days at best.

RHETORICALs.-Rhe exercises
were held in the Grammar Department
of the public school last Thursday after
noon, in charge of Miss G. Reidel, the
teacher. They were largely attended
by friends of the pupils and were of a
very interesting character. The pro-
gram included recitations, declama-
tons, several choruses by little girls
and singing. Several presentations were
very creditably acted. On the black
board were specimens of drawing. both
freehand and perspective. All were
executed by the pupils, which were very
skillfully done and very generally ad-
mired. The rooms were neatly decor
ated with flowers, and the exercises and
order throughout was highly commend
able to both pupils and teacher.

thing wanting in him to give him absolute

returns to some faces, the smile OF
amusement to others, and the loose,
flowing sentences slope lazily through the

made, the speaker stoops low, and lifting
himself high while sweeping his arms gives
forceful utterance to some epigrsmatic
thought. This is what breaks the monot-
