MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—ASA PRATT, of Cau-
L tuwusliip, committed suicide on Wednesday
. .ruin" last, while laboring under mental abera
",n He hft his house quite early, and went to
. . r ist mill, which is near his house, and was
, ~,1 soon after dead, hanging by a rope which
Kls fastened to a joice. He had apparantly sat on
while he adjusted liie rope around his neck |
nd tied it to another joice, and then dropped oil', j
Mr Pratt was a much respected citizen. He has
...viral years shown occasional symptoms of
. ..tv, aud frequently ttilked of killing himself,
:i | a one occasion attempted to shoot himself.
fLi- family and friends are plunged into the deep
-t. ■ net by his melancholy and tragical end.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—E. IICGHSON, Mer
chant, of Big Flats, on his way home from his

ruffians, and after a severe struggle was robbed of
.j, out four hundred dollars in money and a gold
v..itch. He received several severe bruises, none
. which, however, are of a serious character. We
. i net learn that as yet tiny clue has been obtain
. 1, us to who are the perpetrators of the crime.—

SOLDIER'S DISCHARGES.—We learn that
- me soldiers have been trying to sell their dis
..urges. These certificates of honorable service
ili old never be parted with. Congress may make
fa ther provision forour soldiers,and the discharge,
, each instance will be the proof which will en
title the soldiers to the benefit of such provision,
those who may buy them up, expecting to receive
;.y benefit, will be mistaken. It has always been
tin policy of Congress to provide for the soldiers
themselves, and disregard the claims of their as
's. This policy is not likely to be departed
from. The soldier's discharge should be sacredly
preserved its an heir-loom in the family. His de
mounts should preserve it with pious care. It is
i- ,i great deal better than a patent of nobility.

The most interesting and exciting book ever publish
ed, embracing Mr. Richardson's unparalled experience
for lour years ; traveling through the South in the se
cret service of the "Tribune" at the outbreak ot the
war, with our armies and fleets, both East a d West,
during the first two years ot the Rebellion; his thrilling
capture ; his confinement lor twenty months in seven
different rebel prisons ; his escape, and almost miracu
lous journey by night of nearly 400 miles, it will
abound in stirring events, and contain more of the fact,
incident and romance of the war than any other work
published.
HORACE GREELEY says:—"A great many books will I
yet he written concerning this War, in addition to the :
many already in print ; but not one of them will give
within a similar compass a clearer, fuller, more readable !
account, entirely from personal observation, of the na. j
tine, animus, purposes, tendencies aud instrumentalities
o! the Slaveholders' Rebellion than does the unpretend- j
ing narrative ot Mr. Richardson."
Teachers, ladies, energetic young men, and especial- ;

profitable employment, will find it peculiarly adapted!
to their condition. We have agents clearing $175 per!
