The Greeley (Colo.) Tribune states
that the losses of cattle this winter
have been heavy among those confined
to the Platte Valley. but where they
were kept out on the bluffs and sand
hills, the losses were slight, though
many are thin. If we have no bad
spring storms, the cattle interest will
have suffered but little. The same
paper says that the grass is starting
finely on the hills, especially the tall
sand grass. Frost is all out of the
ground, the soil is moist to the depth of
a foot, and plowing is done with the
greatest ease.

IN Placerville, CAL, a week ago
Sunday, a young German named Char
ley Roth committed a dreadful suicide.
Procuring giant-powder cartridge and
two feet of fuse, he retired to his
sleeping-apartment. In a minute or
two there was loud and sharp explo-
sion, distinctly heard several blocks
away, and when people from the street
hurried into the room they found him
lying on the pallet entirely headless,
an immense cavern followed out of the
upper part of his chest, his teeth and
fragments Of the skull scattered in
every direction, and the walls plastered
with bits Of flesh and brains. From
the middle Of the neck upward all was
blown to atoms, not vestige of his
head or face remaining. The presump.
tion is that he lay down upon his pallet
took the end Of the cartridge in his
mouth, connected the fuse with the
cap, and lit it, and deliberately awaited
the explosion. He had been suspected
of insanity for quite while.
