In the sitting room was her en-

Gustav dropped the letter on the

some by accident, while others
sought this means of surcease from
life's sorrows. The latest instance
of the latter character occurred
yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock. A young lady of Mata-
moros, named Manuela Espana,
about 10 years old, was drowned
just above the ferry. Reports say
she committed suicide on account
of objection to her marriage with
one of whom her father did not
approve. This rumor could not
be verified, and it is not known
what prompted the rash act, if il
was a case OF suicide. At last
accounts the body had not been re-
