ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT WHARNCLIFFE SIDE.  On Wednesday morning t, about 12 o'clock, a determined attempt at suicide was committed by a young girl named Louisa French. She was discovered in the river Don by her brother, who was returning home to dinner. he at some risk to hirmelf extricated her with difficulty from her perilous position. Both were in an extremely exhausted condition when waisted out of the water by a man named Jonathan Spooner. It was feared at first that the girl was dead, but after restorative measures had been applied by Dr. Sands, she revived. Her condition remained very critical for some time. The motive for her rash act has not yet been clearly ascertained, but it is known that the girls mother strongly disapproved of her sudden return from her situation. What makes the affair more remarkable is that it is only about three months Ince a similar sad incident, which had • fatal termination, occurred at the manse place. Much sympathy is felt in the neighbourbood for her parents, who are well-known and greatly respected.
