Gently carried tho mail between Sutton
and Holly River, now lansuishcs in
jail at Sutton charged with forgery
and stealing money. While carrying
the mail il was customary for Perry
Currence, merchant at Newvillc, to
scne money by him to deposit in the
Sutton bank. 1t now appears that in
stead OF depositing the full amount, he
would place part OF the money in
bank, keep the balance, and so change
the figures on the certificate OF deposit
as to show that the full amount had
been placed in bank.

loon at kenova, was accidentally shot
on Friday last between 10 and IL o'clock.
Three men from the bridge force at
Kenova, and who were intoxicated,
were in and about O'Bricn's place OF
| business for some time during the fore
noon. They were dlsordcrly and want

them. At the time OF the accident the
three men were on the road leading to-
ward the landing, about one hundred
yards from O'Brien's. and were expos
| ing their persons, when O'Brien, seeing
some ladies approaching, went out to
| where the men were and commenced
demonstrating with them. An altcrca-
ton ensued, when O'Brien, who had
target gun in his hands, which he had
been practicinG with, struck one OF the
men slightly with the gun. The gun
was discharged by the blow, and the
ball entered O'Brien's body. He walked
few yards, when he fell TO the ground
and was carried into the house. He
fingered, 4 portion OF the time uncon-
scious. until o'clock in the evening,
when he died.-CGredo .idrance.
The Richie Gazette gives the follow
ing account OF the suicide OF Miss Daisy
Lee: On last Tuesday morning Miss
Daisy Lee committed suicide ut Toll
Gate, in this county, by administering
to herself Z dose o: strychnine. She
was the daughter of Mr.. L. c. G. Lee,
one OF the prominent citizens OF Richie
county, and the terrible deed was done
at her fathers house, her home: Mr..
Lee started for eltarrisvillc to attend
court, on the western morning accom-
mediation on the Baltimore 1; Ohio rail
road. Soon after his departure the IN
fortunate girl gave herself the fatal dose
OF poison. 4 horseman was started
after her father and he was overtaken at
Pennsboro. the train on the P. d II.

ricd back home with Drs. Crumrine
and, Smith. OF Pcnnsboro, but they
arrived too late, for before they
reached Toll Gate, the girl was dead
the strychninc having taken immediate
effect. Miss Lee was Z beautiful and
estimablc young lady. about eighteen
years OF ago. Her mother has been dead
for 4 number OF years and she was the
only daughter, her father and three
brothers constituting the rest OF the
household. No moro kind and atiec-
tomato people live in Richie county.
Mr.. Lee, though kind father, was
somewhat rigid in his government OF his
daughter, not permitting her to have
beauH. The only cause assigned for the
act OF tho girl is that on the morning OF
the tragedy her brother requested her
to sew some buttons on his overcoat,
which she refused. A slight difficulty
arose and her father reprlmanded her.
II this is not the reason none is known.
1t seems impossible, however, that Miss
Lee could nave been SO wounded by
such slight matter, the like OF which
occur in all families, as to kill herself.
