Suicide.

Mr.. Joseph Guyn, an influential
and respectable farmer, of near
Halleck, Monongalia county and
father-in-law Of Mr.. Clark Bucklew,
of near independence, committed
suicide by hanging, last Thursday.
Nothing about his actions or speech
gave the family any intimation that
he intended such a rash act, but
arising on Thursday morning he
went to the barn as usual to feed the
stock. Not returning to the house
for so long a time, a member of the
family went to the barn to see what
the matter, and found the UNI
fortunate mans body dangling in
midair, lifeless. He had cut short
his days 10y hanging.

smoke had cleared away so that the
true state of affairs gould be aseer-
tanned, the fire was extinguished,
but the "cab" of the engine was a
wreck. No blame can be attached
to watchman Msuser for he is a
very careful man and it was found
that his duties were performed in
his usual careful way. No n can
tell just how the fire was started but
1T is..supposed thatsby some means
the ''sheating' of the fre-box
caught fire and in hat way set fire
to the oily wood in the ''cab." The
engine went ont as usual on Monday.

A Good Appointment.

The town council met on Monday
evening and among other business
appointed Luther Swearingcn po-
hceman, street commissioner, tax
collector and lamp lighter at a sala-
ry Of three hundred dollars. No
better selection could have boon
made. We believe that Luther will
perform his duties w3ll, especially
that Of keeping the lamps lighted
on dark nights and keeping the
streets clear Of drunken and p%rofane
men. True there is not often an
occasion TO make arrests for the
above offences, but when they do
present themselves we believe Luther
viii not hesitate to do his duty.

not amuse themselves by carrying
