SUICIDE OF A ALANITFACTORLP. AT UPPEIIIIILL.—A painful sensation was created in Uppermill and the surrounding district on Saturday afternoon, by the death of Mr. Eli Bradbury, of Uppermill. For some months his health has been a source of trouble to his family, and Dr. flainsden, who was called iii about a week ago, was in constant attendance. Mr. Bradbury was suffering from an attack of melancholia, and his one idea was that he had not long to live. During Saturday night he was under the surveillance of two attendants, who left him during Sunday morning. His brother and his wife and family were in the house when Mr. Bradbury said he would go and lie down. About three o'clock one of the attendants entered the house, and going into the billhard-roorn found to his horror Mr. Bradbury suspended by his neck from a hook in the wall. The attendant at once gave alarm and cut down the body, and every effort was made to restore animation, but without effect. Great couimisseration is felt for the bereaved family, and he leaves a widow and six daughters to mourn his loss. He was one of two surviving brothers of the firm of J. Bradbury and Co., woollen manufacturers, Alexandra and Giles Mills, Uppermill. About eighteen months ago be ceased to take an active part in the buslness, and retired to Blackpool, but the death of his elder brother and his own health giving way brought him back to Saddleworth a few mouths ago. His mental aberration has been ! generally noticed amongst his immediate frieuchi, I but beyond the fact that lie was firmly convinced that he had to die he appeared quite salmon general topics in conversation.
