Buicurn.. 77 :Dr. B. L. Slago, assistant editor
of the Atlanta Bra, committed suicide at
the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Sunday last.
It appears•that he reached that city about
one week previous to. his death in a very
melancholy mood. He was decidedly reti
cent and'seemed to labor under some deep
affliction. No money was found upon his
person, but s „,indllcant bottles labeled mor- I
phine and chloroform were found upon a
table in his room. Several letters were also=
discovered showing that Dr. Slago medi
tated self-destruction, and indicate the came
for the rash act. One to his uncle A. R.
13Lsgo, of Atlanta, Georgia, contains a brief
reference to his extreme poverty; another to
Col. J. S. Prcither, editor of the Era, re
quests that person to do justice to his mem
ory; a third, without any address, says
"misfortune has ever been my lot in life,
and the culmination in theloss of that which
is not my own, is unendurable;" another
letter, to the Southern Hotel proprietor,
gives orders to allow the Masons to bury
*n, and a fifth letter, without date or su
perscription, indicates disappointed love,
which was probably the primary cause of
his misanthrophy, which resulted in his
suicidal death.
SINGULAR CASE OF ELANorNu.—A. sin
.gular case of death from hanging occurred
near Mahanoy city, Pa., recently. An in
fant, a few months old, was sleeping with
its parents in bed. Awaking some tine in
the night, the mother missed her child.
Raising herself to search for the babe, she
discovered it hanging outside of the bed
suspended by the neck by the string of its
night-slip caught on one of the pegs of the
bed rail. Life was extinct. It seems that
the child was accidentally sliding out of bed;
and, as it passed over the bed-rail, its
clothing caught on one of the oegs by which
the bed-cord is attached,and thus suspended
it could give no cry by which the parents
might have been awakened.
Frazs IN THE WOODS.—Eastern Massa
chusetts has lately had several destructive
fires in its woodlands. The one near
Taunton, reported by telegraph, originated
in an attempt made by some boys to smoke
a squirrel out of a hollow chestnut tree.
More than a thousand acres were burnt
over. In Newton, also a terrible fire raged,
threatening the beautiful villas of that sub
urban town, blazing along the whole circuit
of the, Cothituate aqueduct, and building
up "a front of some two thousand feet of
fierce flame" on Walnut avenue. One of
the principal losses by this conflagration is
the Newton Theological Seminary.
INTENSB HEAT FROM SChkin
hags a German chemist, has succeeded it is
said, is discovering an arrangement by
which an intense heat, sufficient to melt
iron can be obtained from ordinary gas.
The principle of his contrivance is the com
plete combustion of proportionate amounts
of gas and air within a confined space. A
copper tube, carefully pierced, is the chief
instrument in securing these results. M.
13chlcesing was able to melt a piece of iron,
weighing four hundred grammes in twenty
minutes.
AFFAIRS AT YORK, PA.—The York papers
note a number of handsome building im
provements going on in that thriving town,
among them the completion of the spire of
the First Reformed Church. This spire is
225 feet high, and the difficult and perilous
task of slating it has just been finished by
Mr. C. F. Bailey, of Baltimore. Prof. S. B.
Beiges has been re-elected superintendent
of common schools for York county, and his
salary increased from $l,OOO to $1,500. The
authorities are actively at work in putting
the town in a good sanitary condition.
THE oldest church now existing in this
country is situated near Smithfield, Isle of
Wight county, Virginia. It was built in
the reign of Charles 1., between the years
1630 and 1635. The brick and lime were im
ported from England. The timber is Eng-
oi oak, and was framed in England. The
structure is of brick, and erected in the most
substantial manner. The mortar has become
so hardened that it will strike fire in colli
sion with steel.
•
,THE 'PITTSBURGH GAZETTE.—it is an
nounced that Messrs. Josiah King, F. B.
Penniman, Nelson P. Reed and Thomas P.
Hoilston have purchased the Gazette, and
will henceforth conduct the paper, Messrs.
Ring and Reed taking the business depart
ment, and Messrs. Penniman and Houston
the editorial management of the sheet. The
Gazette will doubtless, under the new &US
picks, be more fresh and vigorous than ever,
and realize its full share of success.
THE OHIO Statesman says: We learn that
a gentleman, who was walking last even
ing rather leisurely along . Third street,
musing probably on the instability and'
vanity of all earthly things, accidentally had
one foot caught in the expanded crinoline of
a lady who was traveling in the same direc
tion. He fell into the gutter and broke one
of his fingers.
A FATAL MISTAKE.—TWO lads, one four
teen and the other seven years of age, sons
of Mr. James Harmen, of Elmira, New
York, went in search of sweet Sicily root in
the woods near that city a few days ago. By
mistake they dug up and ate a quantity of
Indian poke or white hellebore, a virulent
poison, from the effects of which they died
in a short time.
TEM CHICAGO ABATTOIR.— A - new city
slaughter house has been erected at Bridge
port, near Chicago, intended for the entire
slaughter work of tne latter city. It is two
hundred and seventy feet long, one hundred
and seventy-five wide, and three stories
high. It has a daily capacity for working
off twelve hundred head of cattle, two thou
sand hogs and one thousand sheep.
THE Jackson Clarion, a leading journal
of Mississippi, sneers at the act of Congress
in congratulating the Czar upon his escape
from murder, as"the most ridiculous piece
of sycophancy ever exhibited by a public
body." These chronic rebels don't like
anything said against assassination.—Chi

.ASSAIILTING POLIGEICON-A MAN SHOT.
A young man named Charles Hart was
shot last night, at Seventh and Bedford
streets, by policeman. James MoCtillen, Jr.,
of the Second Dietrict. On Saturday last,
Officer. MeQuilen arrested a party of va
grants in the neighborhood of Seventh and
Bedford streets. In the crowd were four
stout, able bodied young men, who have
been lounging about that vicinity for two
or three years, and getting a living, as is
supposed, by stealing. These fellows, by
some means, got out of prison, and last
night attacked Officer McCullen.. They in
inquired why they had been arrsted, and
were told for vagrancy. One of them then
made -a lunge at the officer, and the
latter seized two of the men. One man
broke.. away and picked up a brick. Mc-
Cullen then discharged his pistol over the
head of the fellow to intimidate him, but
without avail. A second shot was ' then
fired and took effect in the heel of the man,
whose name is Hart, as stated above. Hart
was then taken to the station house, and this
morning was committed by Ald. Titter
wary. Another of the party was afterwards
arrested;for assaulting . Officer Dick. -He
was likewise sent to prison. He gave his
name as John H. Manning.
.Susrnaorf OF .Ansorr.—Edward J. Go
down was arrested yesterday by Lieut. Tol
bert, on suspicion of having set fire to his
store, in the Twenty-fourth Ward, two or
three weeks ago.* It is alleged that the stock
in the store was worth only about $lOO,
while it was insured fer $1,600; that the de
fendant had not paid much attention to bu
siness, lately, and had let the stock run
down; and that he was seen about the pre
mises a short time before the discovery of
the fire. He was taken before Alderman
Allen and was held for a hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon.

COLUMBIA HOUSE,
CAPE MAY, N. J.,
Will be Opened on the Ist day of June
1866.
Many Improvements have been added to this large
and popular establishment since the close of last sea
son. "Birgfeld's'l celebrated Band has been secured,
and nothing will be left undone to sustain the well es
tablished reputation of the house.
It has long been admitted that Cape May possesses
a better and more secure beach than any other sea-side
summer resort in the country. It is the only beach
where ladies and children can bathe in the ocean by
themselves with security.
Excellent railroad facilities and largely extended
hotel accommodations must command for Cape May
a preference over any other sea shore resort in this
country.
The Columbia House is located close noon the beach,
with a full ocean view from the fronts of the house.
Its bathing-rooms are new, and neatly built. Its lawn
has a fine group •of shade trees, and well lald•out
walks. Its dinine•room is very large and airy. and is
BO situated as to secure a fine ocean breeze at all times
of day and evening.
There are connected with the house several fine cot
tages which may be secured by families or parties who
desire more private quarters than rooms in the
hotel,

The Money Market continues to be characterised by
the greatest ease and abundanoe,but there is a total an_
sencetof any disposition to speculate in merchandise
and the operations at the Stock Board are almost en
tirely confined to the brokers. The rates on the street
are 5 to 53 per cent. for the beat short obligations, and
43f to 5 per cent for "call loans." The increased ship
ments of Gold from New York are attracting much
attention, Mat thus far they have had but little effect,
as this drain has been counterbalanced by sales from
the Snb.Treasury. The Stock Market this mornin wax
rather feverish. The Coupon Sties, 'at, sold at leg?,{;
