Barron, aged 56 years, formerly a lieutenant in the sth Northumberland Emollient. The evidence, says a Dalriers telegram, showed that the deceased had been very low spirited, and that he had shot himself with a revolver. Letters found in hie possem on were read,from which it appeared that he had bitterly reproached a faiend for leading him into speculations. In one letter he wrote :—" It is bad enough for you, but how much worse for me! Oh I why did you drag me into all this miseratle speculation! Igo to town to attend meetings, and I never even get my orpeaces paid. It is hard. I have fought against it, but what is the use ? Again, I say, lam quite mad. I sleep merely by taking narcotics." In another letter the deceased wrote :—" This is the cruellest letter you have written. You know well you and have ruined use and mine. God help me. However, you hare suffered yourself, but nothing to compare with what! have done." On a th t-,1 paper the deceased wrote :—" I wonder if Gon will forgive me, but I am afraid many friends and others will not." A letter from Mr. Dasby, Throginortou-street, demanded payment for a bill for £.4.97 14s 4d. In his last letter deceasod wrote :—" The die is cast nith me. I can hold out no longer." Be appealed to his friend to do what he could for his Icloneased's) family, and referred to his dealings in American assoubstions, Middlesboro,Brokon Hill,and Weutworths shame, The jury returned a verdict of suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.

I Yet that reptile wan my companion for many years afterwards, and was none the worse for its misadventure, though it carried the double soar of its bite to she tasidermiet, and its slough always used to eplib at that point in sheddiug. Nor did it ever evince the elighteet tendency even to welkinchubs or depression of spirits in after life,let alone felo-de-se—in fact. its disposition was at all times rather hrtero—than autircidal.

HOW TO EAT APPLitg. The King of Fruits is principally valuable fur its albumen. mall° acid, sad sugar. In its ash a high peroestage of potash is found, and there constitueets in conjunction with the 83 parts (out of every 100), of pure distilled water it uontains, , justly entitles it to the rank es the bent fruit that can be eaten. Apple. that are well coloured and with a digestible flesh are to be preferred. For I preserving White Transparent is magnificent and ; unequalled. It is also the best early commercial ; apple grown. For eating raw, Lane's Prince ' Albert, Beauty of Kent, Blenheim Orange. and Cox's Orange Pippin are grand. The flier. should be soft, sugary, and mellow. Under these conditions this luscious vitalising fruit is most enjoyable. But it most be well ground or masticated before being swallowed. If this is not done they have a tendency to produce disturbanoes, but when the flesh is reduced to a juicy pulp, the blood- ; enriching properties are readily aseimilated, and are thus enabled to cleanse the system, and nourish the brain, by the medium of the phosphorus this fruit contains. Without doubt the apple is the grandest fruit that ripens under the sun. To enjoy a green fig at its heel it should be eaten fresh plucked from the tree. Those that are sent any distance in transit before being offerel fur sale are not comparable to those that have fully ripened on the tree. At this time the nkin becomes wrinkled and cranked, exuding small sugary drops. 'I he fruit should be plucked after the sun hae well risen and the dew has disappeared from the trees, then in its dry sugary condition the green arr is one of the greatest delicacies under the sun that can be oaten.
