A I.ady Cuts Her Throat 1th aRaxor LHstregsliig Sceae lu the Afllteted Ilonse hold. A correspondent of the Illinois Stale Journal, writing from White Hall, 111., April 24, says: On last Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Susan Culver, wife of Alonzo J. Culver, a merchant of White Hall, Greene county, committed suicide by literally cutting her throat from ear to eat with a razor. She was, it is believed, laboring under temporary aberration of the mind at the time. There is so other assignable cause for the terri ble act. The unfortunate young woman was nearly related to a number of the oldest and hast citi zens of White Hall. Mrs. Culver had been quite unwell for several days, and had during this term of indisposition exhibited at times indications of mental de rangement. Saturday last shortly after dinner her mother, Mrs. Cox, who was with her la the sitting-room ot tier aAremng, thought sne observed a strange and unnatural appearance ia the expression of her countenance. Just alter noticing this unusual expression, her daughter left the sitting-room and passed into her bed-room. A few moments subse quently, Mrs. Cox, whose suspicions that some thing wns wrong had ben aroused, went to her daughter's room. When she reached the door she found it locked, and passed around to another door of the room. As she was passing round to the other door, she heard a sound coming from her daughter's room, as if some thing heavy had fallen upon the floor. Upon entering the room she beheld the prostrate, lifi'k'EB, and bleediDg form of her daughter before her, and the crimsoned razor lying near. From the position of the body, and other circumstances, it was evident that Mrs. Culver had stood before the glass of her bureau when she mad. the fatal cut. The blood which spirted from the severed arteries was found scattered around over the bureau and on the floor. On examination of the wound, the fact was revealed that the keen edge of the razor had severed the arterles.wlndpipe, and ligatures, and penetrated to the bone, which of necessity produced instant death. A MIXED CASE. Charleston Priests aud Sisters of Mercy. A Washington despatch to the N. Y. Tribune gays: One item or tne uericiency Appropria tion bill gives i,wo to tne maters ot juercy, Charleston, S. C, for the purpose of rebuild ing a Roman Catholic orphan asylum in that city destroyed during the war. The gift was !n consideration of valuable service rendered to sick and wounded Union officers and sol diers. While the matter was before Congress some objection was made to it on the ground that, after tho money should be paid, there was no guarantee that it would not be diverted from its original purpose and applied to other uses. In reply to those objections the Roman Catho lic Bishop of Charleston wrote a letter in which he assured members ot congress that the Bis ters of Mercy there were a corporate body, and that it would be impossible for any priest to have even the handling of the money. On Saturday morning last tho Lady Superior and a companion came to this city for the purpose of obtaining the money. On Monday uoruing a Roman Catholic priest arrived from Charleston, and fiuding the Sisters at the house of a friend, peremptorily ordered them home, so that they left j'esterday without obtaining their warrant. The priest went to the Treasury Department and obtained the warrant, payable to the Lady Superior, alleging that he was the representative of the Sisters of Mercy. Prominent citizens of Washington, who aire Roman Catholics, and who desire to see the money devoted to Us legitimate purpose, fear that the priest who was able to order the Lady Superior home may also order her to sign the warrant and so obtain the money.

The Fct Child of a Demoera tle IegUla' . e fsTgely Attacked by a demoeratle An rrmcest Acae True Marylaner rejeices editorially over the fact that In erery case where aa appeal na eea made to tae court oi tnai county for the declslen of a justice of the peace, Imposing fine ander the oyster law, tie declsien ef the justice ha been reversed. It declare the law sectional and oppressive, and cays the court ef the section, oppressed by its operation, will never enforce its provisions. It then proceed to pitch into Captain JIuater Davidson, "Cornuiander ot the Oyster Navy," in tbe following vigorous style: But this oyster law has another feature that should damn it forever, In the obnoxious execu tion of its provlsioas. The burden of condemna tion of this feature should rest forever, not ou the law, but on the leadership of its police force. Either ignoraace or tyranny is the only caufe to which the malexecution of the law can be attributed. It is not the purpose of law that it should be executed without discrimina tion, according- to its letter. There is a meaning- and intent in all law, and it is the intent that must te executed. Is Captain Davidson Ignorant of this fact? If he is, let blni be set aside and a better tmtn be arpoibted. If he knowlugly arrests a man, when to charge of non-compliance with the requirements of the law can be sustained against aim, then put tho tyrant down, and let him pay tbe forfeit of false imprisonment.
