Suieit q Near Hnlsboru.

The Sentry records the fact that Andre
Armlin, an old man 7S years of age,
committed suicide at the farm of J. q.
Fike in the town of Hillsboro, by taking
laudanum. Last Sunday he became
somewhat depressed in spirits. perhaps
on account of having no permanent
home with winter approaching, and
also perhaps fearing that the poor house
would be his goal, and to preclude the
possibility of the latter fate he bought
TO take his life. When it was time for
him to arise on Monday morning the
family learned for the first time that he
was in astupefied sleep. DR.. Hansberry
was Immediately summoned and found
the old man in serious condition.
Anecdotes were given and the stomach
given thorough washing and finally
the patient began to show signs of re-
covery. He improved then and on the
following day was able to talk little
However, relapse came and Wednas-
day he began to fail till the end came
on Thursday morning.
