A aoY ooMMlrs SUICIDE.
He Had n Dread of Being Obliged to Go
 Away to School.


 HAcKENsAcK, N. J., Sept. l1.-Nathan Irving AIberts, Jr., lad of 16 years of age. who resided with his parents on Cottage place, in this village, commit ted suicide by hanging himself in . shed Adjoining his parents' residence. The boy left the house at o'clock. At bed time he had not returned, and the family grew alarmed. They thought he had gone out with some young men.
 Shortly before midnight his brother Edward set out to search for him. He walked into the shed and groped about in the darkness. Suddenly he ran up against his brother Mats body. It was hanging by the neck from beam over head. He immediately procured @ light and made an investigation. He ascer. tained that Nat had stood on a buggy, removed his coat and collar and necktie, and had then fastened rope around his neck and tied it securely to the beam. The lad had jumped of the buggy and hanged himself. The alarmed family hastily gath- cred about the swinging body, and the coroner was notified. He took charge of the remains and will hold an inquest. -. ... .La-. .>
 No cause can be assigned for the boys suicide, except his dread of being obliged to go away to school, where his parents were to send him.

THE republican Philadelphia Press re- pudiates the Texas republicans, and says that the nomination of Webster Flana- gan for governor was unwise to the last degree" Thus again do we find satan rebuking sin. The difference between Flanagan and the Press people is that he wants the offices but does not get them while the latter get the offices without publicly clamoring for them. Flanagan is too frank for his more subtle asso. ciates.

science at the Work Bench.

In speaking of James Nasmyth, the in- ventor of the steam hammer, who died in Scotland lately, and who, having made a fortune by his inventions, retired from business and devoted the last thirty years of his life to astronomy and painting, The Kennebec Journal says an almost exact counterpart of his life was that of a we'll known eastern Maine man, who retired from active business in numbering at the age of 45 years and gave his whole atteu- tion to ornithology. Another similar case was that of Mr Anson Allen, of Orno, a successful manufacturer, who gave but five days a week to the cares of his factory, surrendering the other day and his even ings to botany, aud became so much of a spe. cialist on one genus, the aster, as to be an authority there in the scientific world. Then there was Mir. Gowan W. Guptill, oi the western part of the state, one of the most learned men and accomplished stu, dents in Maine, who divided his time dur ing long life of s5 years between farming teaching and studying.

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 11.-A larger vote was boiled in the city election than was anticipated. A total vote of about 5, 100 was cast out of full vote of $500. The count is proceeding slowly. The Democrats believe they have won, because they think they have got out fuller vote than the Republicans, but the latter claim that they are ahead. The vote is undoubt. edly very close.

The Carroll Musical, Social and Benevo.
lent Club of Carroll county is thing of the
past. Judge Alvey killed it. Its three hun
dred and odd members were law abiding citi-
zens, and when the decision of the Supreme
Court was made known to them there was not
dissenting voice when the surrender of the
charter was proposed. 1t was surrendered to
the Court, with thanks to Judge Bond who
granted it. Thus we bow to the majesty of
the law. Mr.. Geo Younger, who was the
successful manager Of the club, is now mine
host of the Carrollton at Sykesville, where
accommodations can be had for man and
beast as far as the law allows.
Mr.. David Donovan, one of our most pop
ular young merchants, has sold his business
in Sykesville to Messrs. John Delashmutt and
Samuel K. Waters, who will take possession
on December 1st. Mr.. Donovan has large
circle of friends here who are sorry to part
with him, and their good wishes will follow
him wherever he may see fit to pitch his tent.
His successors are well known TO the com
munity and will be warmly welcomed.
Rev. p. p. Flournoy will leave for his new
field next month. His flock are sorry to part

is fast approaching completion. Norwood is
still improving and is now rushing his patent,
and carries about with him a million dollars
worth of stock which he handles with the
recklessness of Wall street broker.
Sykesyille, and the tax paying citizens Of
Carroll as we'll, are glad the grand jury has
adjourned. 1t was one of the longest grand
iuries on record, yet they tell us it was one Of
the finest. There were a great number Of
witnesses examined, but the local option law
of Freedom district furnished the bulk of
them. Let the thoughtful citizen add the
cost carefully, and the sum total will astonish
him. This is Thanksgiving day, and our
good citizens in giving thanks will add to
their prayers God bless the man that adjourned
the grand jury.
No indictments were found against the
citizens of Sykesville, much TO the disgust of
Marshal John Barnett of Freedom. There
is better feeling in the community now
among all classes, and we think hereafter the
whole of the ten commandments will be
respected.
Your SIack's Corner correspondent apollo
gZes for it not being on the county map, but

selves not long since at the late club house in
Sykesville. the benevolent feature of which
pleased them very much. We know they
carried away with them pleasant remem-
brances of Sykesvile. But this geological
joke of your correspondent only proves what
we have always said, that the most remarka-

Death of Rasnaniah Haines.

1t was known TO Mr.. Ii. Haines' many
friends that his health had been failing for
some time, though the announcement of his
death on Saturday evening last was sudden
surprise because his extreme illness was
known to but few. Consumption and dropsy
were the cause of his death and he had only
been confined to his room about five days.
For years he successfully conducted the gro.
Gerry business, dealt largely in horses and
cattle. and also managed his farm in Bachman's 8
Valley but his strength failing he was COM
PEELED to retire from active life few years ago.
In everything pertaining to the advancement
of Carroll county, and particularly of West
minister, he took an active part and gave
his personal and financial aid. The poor and
afflicted were never turned away empty hand
ed; to his friends he was true and to his fam :
lily kind and devoted head. His funeral
took place at the Reformed Church on Tues
day and was largely attended, the remains
being inferred at Kriders cemetery, near this
city, the pail bearers being Edward Lynch,
David Fowble, John Roger, f. II. Orendorif,
L. 0. Grimes, George L. Sharrer, George r.

HICKS FOR DECEMBER.
Some Heavy SleeG Ahead-PrOmiSes of
SfGrms on Sea and Land.

Under date of st. Louis, NO., November
IS, Rev. Irl Il. Hicks sends out advance
sheets of his meteorological forecasts for De-
cember prepared for his monthly Word and
Work. They arc as follows: Indications
point to cold, bright weather during the
opening days of December. The 9Th is the
central day of the first disturbed period for
the month All correct observations will
show a general swing of mercurial readings
from conditions of fair TO those of change and
stormness during period of three to five
days, with the 9th as the centre. These
conditions will be progressive from west to
cast met possibly by northerly to northeast
erly blasts along the extreme Atlantic coasts.
Cold days will succeed until the reactionary
movements on the llth and 12th, when softer
skies and southerly winds will bring reac-
tionary storms. All must remember that
from this date our globe passes into the
winter solstioe disturbance. Winter storms
until near the close of the month will be due
at any time.
The next regular period, however, is from
the l4th to 18th. The equinox of Mercury
on the 18th, with moons first quarter on
same date, and earth about the crisis of
winter solstice, with snow and sleet-look Tor
hoary sleet-past the reactionary days, the
22d and 23d. Almost beyond peradventure
heavy winter gales and storms will occur
about this time. The 18th, 18th and 10Th, we
mention as central danger days, which dates,
with the reactionary 22d and 23d, promise
storms on sea and land to a degree that
ought to excite the most prudent care and
watchfglness. Much hard freezing will fol-
low the storms at these times. The full
moon on the 18th ought to raise on the rim
of cold, Christmas night, widespread with
wide and deep expanses of fresh snow, sleet
and ice.
About the 9th Boreas will relax his grip,
which change in temperature will begin in
the west and move steadily eastward attended
by thawing and resulting in renewed storms
Of rain and snow on and next to the 2Sth,
29th and 30th. For the most part, Decem-
Der will close with good winter prevailing in
the northern hemisphere,
