William Stephen, tailor, named Sar-
ah Fear, committed suicide. She
was missed about eight 8 o'clock from
the house of Mr. Stephen, whore she
boarded ; eearoh was made but with-
out euccees until ahem 10 o'cloolc
when her body was discovered in a
well about fourteen feet deep, in
about six feet of water. Dr. Philip,
theeoroner deemed an inquest anneo-
essary as it was a clear case of sui-
cide. No cause is assigned for the
rash net only that she has been suff-
ering from a nervous headache late-
ly and complained of great pains in
her head. The general belief ie that
her mind had been deranged by the
sail affliction and led to the commis-
siou of the act under temporary in-
sanity. She was a virtuous and ami-
able young person, and greatly res-
pected. Her remains wore conveyed
to Elmira, whore her afflicted parents
reside.
