Despondent Over Domestic Cares and Discouraged Over His Lot, John Herr Commits Salelde, John M. Herr, living near the Hub- bard bridge, three miles west of Beech Creek, a veteran of the civil war, com- mitted suicide Bunday morning by cutting his throat from ear to ear. He left the house with a bucket to go to the spring, and from the trail of blood it was seen that he committed the deed on the way to the spring, and after doing so continued to that point, procured a bucket of water, and then started to return. He only walked a short distance, however, until he sank to the ground on account of weakness, and was found there by members of his family shortly afterward. Justice Milfred Pletcher held an inquest, and the verdict was that the man came to his leath as described above. The unfortunate man had been de- spondent for some time past, owing to domestic trouble, ill health and his in ability to earn a livelihood. The wife became demented some years ago and was taken to the Danville hospital for treatment, and as her condition be- came greatly improved, she was re leased and returned to her home. In a short time, however, her mind again became affected, which caused the hard working husband to become dis couraged and despondent, Deceased was aged seventy-one years, and leaves his unfortunate wife, five sons and one daughter, the msjority of whom reside at distant points, Mr. Herr was born and raised in Ni tany valley, and for years resided at Salona, where he is well known, He was a shoemaker by occupation, but of late years owing to becoming infirm he led a retired life. During the war he served in the 45th regi- ment, Company D, of the Pennsyl- vanis Volunteer Infantry, and was a good and faithful soldier. During his service in the war he received a gun- shot wound in the head from which it is thought he never fully recovered. After tlie close of the rebellion he lo- cated in the neighborhood where he took his life, and was well respected by all who knew him, — A RAP IIIS, Precaution Against Lightanfog. Every little while you hear of stock being killed in the pasture during a thunderstorm, by being struck by lightning communicated from wire fences, This danger can be entirely eliminated by affixing a wire to one post in every twelve or fifteen, in such manner that one end will be well buried iu the earth, while the other bas contact with each strand of wire on the post, This affords a perfect ground by which the electrical charge passes harmlessly to the earth, This principle is carried out in the construction of telephone lines, and care should be taken pot to tie a horse near a pole having a ground wire dur. ing an electrical storm. ms A AAG AA vied From Effects of Burns, Charles Holderman, son of Mr, and Mrs. John Holderman, of nesr Fill. more, who was so badly burned by an explosion of powder on Friday, 12th inst, died in the Bellefonte hospital Bundsy morning.
