IT have great hopes Of bringing a colocy
from this neighborhood" writes gentleman
from Xenia, Ohio, who was in Albany last
yoar Several families, following the lead of
d few others, removed TO southern California
last year and settled at Santa Anna and San
Diego. They send back conflicting reports.
The main truth is that land is worth there
from 500 10 $1,000 per acre, while # Is so
cheap around Albany, and the land will bear
the same crops. IL is bitter cold up this way.
The thermometer dropped seventy degrees in
one day, and remained at zero for many days

in town from her plantation home some miles
from A lbany. Her four little girls were per-
feet pictures Of health, regular little dump
lings. She remains large portion of the year
in this section with them and then removes 10

This section is certainly paradise for chill

A sad case Of suicide occurred at Porter
Springs IN this county last Sunday nbou 4 u.
m bu thn above Dumpu uputlpmuu IIa had
spent the last three Summers there--the first
one rs a guest, and the last two as clerk in tho
hotel. This winter he remained as member
of the family. He was complaining for n
week but had been in bed only four or FIVE
days, and mp 10 the day he killed himself,
carefully concealed his disease from those
nursing him, but Sunday morning told Colonel
Enrrow he had been deceiving him ms TO his
disease, but IL had reached n point where con-
cealment was no longer possible, and though,
mortfying to him, he must tell him that lie
had been diseased fifteen years ago and that it
had re-appoared ON him. The colonel talked
kindly 20 him and sent for DIR. Jones, but
about fifteen minutes before the doctor arrived
the colonel, while sitting in the piazza, only
short distance from his room, was startled by
tho report OF gun, and ON running
To the room found he had shot himself
and was dead. Some families living inl tho
yard were called and messenger sent imme-
diatcly FOR the coroner of the county. At II
IN, the next day, the coroner with a jury OF
iWtiNt men, Ittu an inquest ana the result is
given below, He left nothing giving any in
sight into his suicide and it can only be con
1ectured that the consciousness of having an
3neurahle disease, SO ]oatisome as that Of syph-
Ills, and the further consciousness that hs had
imposed upon kind persons extending him a
liberal hospitality daring the winter, by CON
Cealing his disease from them and that thew
must at last know il. was more than he Could
stand, and hence his course.
