A 'Goon EXAMPLE.—Not a little pleasant disquietude was lurking about in this locality for some time, oc- casioned'by a whisper that one of our genial neighbors was making prepar- ations for something more than the ap- proaching:winter. Believing that pat- ience is a Christian virtue, and being prone to look upon the laright aide of things in general, we entertained no very grave apprehensions, but on the contrary, were indulging rather pleas- ant anticipations, when we were invit- ed to attend on Wednesday last, 26th, the celebration of the marriage of Pe- ter Robinson's eldest daughter Mail Robert Traquair, youngest sou of the late Jno Traquair; all of this township. The young couple were married at the Manse Exeter, by Rev. W,Martin. The bride was richly attired in grey camel- etta, and was attended by '''her sister, Miss Kate Robinson, who was similarly attired, while the groom was supported by his nephew Mr. D. Ross, of Detroit. When the bride came home, about fifty guests were in waiting, and after the several congratuls tisane were tendered, all united la relieving a groaning ta, ble, beautifully arrayed, and laden with all the delicacies of the seadon, The bridal supper over, and a short time spent in soeial intercourse, the greater number fif the married guests repaired to their homes, and made room for the young friends of the new ly wedded couple, who spent the hal- mace-of the evening and until well on - in the moining,in various amusements which made this happy oceasion appear "just like a wedding.' The bride was made the recipient of many handsoree and valuable presents as tokens of the high MGM in which she ie held,among which was a beautiful gold wateh, pre- sented by her uncle, Mr. Duncan Rob. inset), of neneall. The groom is one of the most enterprising young farmers of this township, an no doubt will preee 'Worthy ef the Very estimable yonnee lady whom he has ehogen as day morning.

He had iejt six letters altogether to be posted, one addressed to his brother in Montreal, the balance probably re- lating to business. 'The jury simply returned:a verdict that deceased came to his death from the effects of poison administered by his own hand. The coroner reprimanded them for not alluding in some way to the evils of gambling, which is carried on ex- tensively are as in other towns. Deceased's father is a blacksmith residing at Woodburn, near Hamilton. His brother took the body away this morning. then. Except when in en (enemas:mak tit of despondency she was of a very jovial nature, Mr. Haitley cannot concetve of any reason for the rash , act, The unfortunate woman evident- ly made up her mind to end her life shortly after Hartley left her' for the night, as the things on the seep - per table had not been removed. Deeeased left a note, which was not agar dressed nor signed, but which was eei. den -thy intended, for her husband, to whom she says good bye, and makes a reference to some things which Harthr lied said. to her which eVidently larva upon her mind. The coroner has pas. Session of the note. The deeeased was twice married. Her marriage to Fire- man Hartly took place a year ago last June. They had no ehildren. Her maiden name was Elderkin, and she was a daughter of a farmer who lived. at Hornellsville, New York. Her father ended his life While temporarily insane by the same means is Inch Sill adopted Much sympathy is expressed for Fire. man Hartley, who is one of the best men connected with the deipartment. Suicided by Hanging. Mrs, Hartley, wife of Firemen Thomas Hartley, London, committed suicide Monday night by hanging. It is believed she was despondent, being subject to fits of melancholy, and that the awful deed was done while she was temporarily insane. The suicide took place at the home of the Hartley's on Clarence street, iii- the first door north of the Clarence Idouse. It was evi- dently done in the early part of the night, as whe,n found this morning about seven o'clock the body was quite cold. The huebani of the unfortunate Woman VMS the first to discover her. Ile was on duty all night at the Fire Hall, and. went home for his breakfast. Before going into the house he split some wood in the back yard and car ried an armful in with him, which was customary for him to do. After throw- ing it into the weodbox he started in to the dining room, expecting to find his wife there, when on looking into the hall through the open door he was horrified to see the woman hanging from the beam that supported a small fan light iii the roof Ile found the woinantto be quite dead, and then rushed over to the Fire Hall, a few steps away, where he acquainted Fire - mon James Gleeson and Sam Notley of what had occurred, and they immed- iately went to the house, only te find the facts as Hartley had stated. The suicide had been effected with the aid of a silk handkerchief, which deceased had evidently tied tightly about hee neer, end then had secured by the ends to a piece of clothesline thrown over the beam referred to, The rope had been adjusted so that the feet of the woman barely touched the flow:. A cheir wags found beside the body en which she had istooci in order to se cure the rope to the beam, and from which she had swung off. rl'he hus- band of the deceasedisalmost distract- ed with grief over the terrible affair, Ho stated that they had always lived happily together since thehe marriage, and that she had proved a Model wife and was always careful in providing every comfort fer him which could pea, Around About Us.
