ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,
Mrs, Mamie Gray's Narrow Escape From
Drowning.

Mrs. Mamie Gray, widow of the
late Esq. Josiah Gray, of the Fairview
neighborhood, was found in a pond
near her house Sunday afternoon, in
helpless and almost unconscious
condition. She was lying in shallow
water, which barely covered her face,
and was strangling to death when
rescued by one of her sons, who had
gone to the pond to water his stock.
She was taken to the house, physi-
clan speedily summoned aud she
soon revived.
She expressed regret that she had
been taken out of the water, and
there is no doubt that she contem
plated suicide.
Mrs. Gray was about 65 years old.
No cause was given for the attempt
to take her life.

year without reference to any action
on the same subject on the part of
Austria. The obstructive move of
Louis Francis Kossuth, the leader of
the party advocating an independent
Hungary, that the bill shall be re-
ferred, not to the financial committee,
as usual but to a committee of the
whole house. has been defeated by a
vote of 1876 to 81.
1t is now reported that Baron Banffy
is negotiating with Herr kossuth for
compromise which will secure the
passage of the bill before Jan. 1 next.
