Suicide of Rev. MIR. Virgins.


Rev. Silas Virgins, a much respect
ed citizen, committed suicide on Fri
day last by hanging. For some years
he has been subject to fits of despOnd
ency, perhaps temporary insanity, and
of late had been suffering from illness
and other things that had disturbed
him much, and he probably thought to
end his troubles in this tragic manner.
For some years, since the death of his
wife, he has been tenderly cared for
by a kind friend and relative, Miss
Fenton, who in very feeble health, is
sadly afflicted by the death. Elder
Virgins was born in Fairlee i'm 1901,
and entered the ministry in 1888, un-
der the New Hampshire conference
He was active in ministerial labors
many years, and was greatly esteemed
for the purity of his character, his de-
vOtion to the cause of God and his
neighborly kindness. He had few rel
atives present at his funeral.

The chief topic of interest is the
post Office war between So. Peacham
and Peacham Hollow. Petitions and
cOunter-petitions have been abundant,
and various parties have measured the
highways with a view to proving that,
in certain cases $50 rods make mile,
and that the hypOthenuse of triangle
may be longer than the other two
sides. At present all parties are in "a
state of delightful uncertainty. We
shall not be surprised if the believers
in "JetfersOnian simplicity" at Wash
ington conclude to simplify" the
whole matter by consolidating all the
pOstOffices of Peacham and locating
the single Office at-West Barnet.
