On Monday last, at about half past oleyen in the forenoon, lhe alnrlllng rumor circulated In our town that John Adams hid committed sul- cidoby hanging himself. Tho tumor l oved lobe only too Imcj as tho dead body lying on the floor of the room where lhe deed had been committed, testified. The circnraslnnces aro these: The two brothers, John nnd Kinney, have chn'geof tho store of Adams et Son, and sleep in a room over lhe store room. Eirly on this morning when the usual hour for open ing Iho (lore was at hand, John rcntielcd hi brother lo open the store, saying that he had not slept well, not did he feci well, nnd would take a short nap before gelling up, Kinney then left him and attended to (lie duties of lhe store. Several hours later ho went mi nnd knocked ! Iho door of their bed-room, snvlnir io John that some gentleman wanted to sec hlmt Keceiving no answer, ho concluded Ihat his brother must de asleep, and so would not dis tilth him, knowing that ho had passed n misera ble night. A little later than 11 o'clock, John' services were needed by somo one, nnd Kinney thought It time Ihat his brother awoke. So again he called him and shook the locked door, without rceiving a response. Slightly alarmed by lii. brother's silenco, he effected an entrance Into lhe room through a window, nnd found John dead, hanging by the hammock rope to a beam overhead, his feet barely touching the floor, a box near by from which lhe unlortu nale man had evidently jumped. Kinney was terribly shocked, but immediately gave the alarm. The body, shortly after taken down. was cold, life having departed two or more hours beforo the dead body was discovered; it was dressed in a ncit suit from head lo foot, save coat, vesl nnd hat. The verdict of the jury was that he committed suicide in a fit of mo mentary insanity. Tho body was taken to his father's house, several miles out of lown. John Adams is the son of Enos Adams, a re spectable farmer of Briarereck township, and has been, for a number of years, engnged with his brother in the mercantile bu-iness here In Berwick. He wns a man of lemperalo habits, respecte-d and liked by his many friends; not given very much to social pleasure-. He attend ed strictly to hissucccsful business. Ills friends leeply regret his sad denth. Xo letter up lo the present time has been found explaining his conduct, hence the cause can only be con jectur ed. His conversation at various lb, ea, espec ially recently, evinced Ihisfict, that he was of despondent disposition, of Ihat kind that yields to mid impulses againt the will. The burning of his father's birn nnd livestock he look much lo hearl; lhe expectation of moving the store and its elifliculties he brooded upon very much; other mailers, not more serioii", except his health, troubled him a great deal. His health was not seriously affected, only slighlly dyspeptic. Brooding over these various tilings led him lo the contemplation of suicide; of the lallcr there is no evidence except the natural conclusion and the fact thnt quite lately, he nsked a friend which was the easiest death, hanging or shooting. He bought a re volver last Saturday night. Ho must havu re sisted that fatal impulse for a long time.a el even on ihat eventful morning, the fictof his having carefully dressed himelf, indicates that he battled with his menial enemy tor several hours, only lo be conquered at 1.1-1. Iho him mock rope attached to the ceiling, no eloubt suggested to him hanging, awakening in him ihat strange impulse thai led him lo his death, an impulse like th it which sometimes seizesthe sanest mountaineer, to hurl himself from the top of the precipice as he stands gazing at the rocks below.

The punishment of eleath it is often as serted, has but little terror fir tho hardened criminal, who usually prefers ending his lile oil the gallows to a lingering existence with in tho walls of a prioii. By criminal, how over, who art not hardened, hanging is viewed with repugnance, and some striking evidence on this point is afforded by a scene which took place recently in tho Sherill' Court at Dun le e, Scotland. A ileal' and dumb man was charged with an assault on his mint, whom he slightly wounded in' the neck with a knife that he smutched from a table In a fit of passion. Tho substance id tho evidence! having been interpreted to him, ho admitted ils Irtith, but would not plp.ul guilty.

General Grant had scarcely retired from the Presidential chair before his closest and personal friends be gan the demand, which has since grown so loud, for his return to the oflice. During all the years that havo followed tho American people havo been kept wondering whether he desired, or would accept, a third election. :i singlj word from him would have showu tnem just what they had to expect, but he lid not choo-e tu speak it. They know now that he is a candidate, because he makes no ell'urt lo check the efforts of his friends to nominate him. Tho silence of years re mains unbroken. Let us suppose Geu. Grant nominated, elected, inaugurated. Does any one doubt that history would repeat itself '? Can any one doubt that the men who began the pres ent agitation for a third term would, in duo tune, begin another for a fourth term ? We should he told that the emergency he had I) -en placed in oflice to meet was not yet ended; Ihat his work would bo left linliii-i-bol if he wero compelled to retire at the end of one term. Tho absurd claim that h is the only "stroti mail" inn nuionof frevelmen would bereviwd. Let any one vh doubts this reflect that many men who are now in oil! e, and will be in office until Mnredi 1, lM.Sl,owo their place to Geueril Grant (This is tho secret strength of the third term movement.) Let it bo remember ed U that every men who is in ollii-e utter March 1, 1SS1, would envo his continuance in office to President Grant, it would he a-tnnisliing, under these circumstances, if, with the precedent of a third term already set, there were not a loud cry for a fourlh. Gratitude has been defined on high authori ty In be "a lively n,e of favors to come." Who can eloubt that, if this should come to pass, Gen. Grant would maintain the sime absolute silence ho has pre served for the past three years, Who can doubt that the American people would be nlloweil to speculate f ir years about his in tention, eiuly to find at last ihat ho would no! refuse a re-election if ha could secure ii? Is any friend ot Gen. Grant :iutlioir.d to 'ay nnv that, if he is elected fir a fmrth ? Will Geu. Grant hlm-rlf say so? Wo think not. Il.sfnro the Chicago- convention meets, let the liepubllc.iu parly cotnider in all sober ness, whether they are ready to piopose to fie Ameilean people u fuurth term for nuy body or a fifth term, or an indefinite number of term. And tills pie-tion can be consid ered without great bitterness to the soldier Xo one can blaaio him for wanting all the honors he can get. Ho is not a George Washington, and there has been only one in American history. Hut it is a fair question for the leaders of tho Hepubliean party to ellscu wJietlier, under the circumstances, Iho nomination of Gen. Grant would bo wise, or oven safe. jY. Tribune.
