clal Miss Lizzie Newhouse, the Oldest
daughter Of S. NJ. Newhouse Esq, who
Is well known throughout the State, COM

for this rash deed. Her family had not
suspected for a moment that she was con-
templating such an act. She had been
remarkably bright and cheerful for the
past few days. At o'clock last evening
she entered her mothers room during the
absence Of the latter. and sending the
servant out on some errand. took from
the bureau-drawer her fathers pistol and
retired 20 her room. At o'clock the ser
want was sent TO her room. and finding
the door locked and receiving no answer
TO her knock, reported the same To her
mother.
\ MUFFLED REPORT
She then remembered that she had
heard n mu1led report some time before
that aroused some suspicion. and the
door was broken open. She was found
lying dead on her bed. dressed "a II for
interment. with the pistol tightly clasped
IN her hand. Miss Newhouse possessed
rare personal attractions, ana was a
great fayoritc I'm society. she being only
q years OF age and remarkably pretty.
No occurrence IN the history of this
section has occasional more universal
sympathy and bereavement.
THE ALLEGED CAUSE.
