The Kenilll of a Melancholia Mouil -A Itov lruwuel In tlie Cunnro- 4-heMKue. Friday news reached Hagers- towu of a terrible tragedy near Tilghmautoii.

Heorge B. Moats committed sucide. It was learued that Mr. Moats had been in bad health for over a year and frequently complained of his condition, which commenced with an attack of the grip. At times he would become crest fallen aud despondent.

The day before a friend had taken him some oranges, thinking he would relish them. Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock he sat up in bed and asked his wife for a razor and an orange, claiming he wanted to use the razor to peel the orange. Mrs. Moats thought it singular that her husband sli.mld want a and so told him. He got the razor and himself from a reclining position in beJ.be turned to his wife, who was beside him and i his head back drew the deadly instrument across his throat, severing the jugular vein.

The blood (lowed freely from the wound and the man dropped back on the bed, gaKping for his breath. The sight was a terrible one for Mrs. Moats. It is said she is of a rather nervous disposition and fainted at the horrible sight. It was some time before she could collect her senses and the combined sorrow and horror nonplused her.

Dr. V. M. Reichard was quickly called, but when he arrived at the house Mr, Moats was dead. Death was almost instant.

He sewed up the wound. Deceased was aged about fifty years and leaves live children. He resided on the CofTmau farm. The children are Nettie, Cora. Tina, Myrtle and Harvey, the oldest being about twenty one years.

Harry Rhiues, a boy between lo aud l(i years old, formerly of this city, was drowned near Williamson, Frankin county, Thursday evening. He was in a Hat-boat on the Conoeo- cheague with John and William lark.fishing, first on the west side of the creek. They then started to cross the creek. When two thirds of the way across a bolt iu one of the oars was detached and the oar was lost. But one oar was left them and with them they tried to make the shore.

The current was very strong and they failed of their purpose. The boat was driven toward the breast of the dam by the water. The boys tried to control the boat with one oar but, were unable to do so. Nearer aud nearer the breast of the dam the boat floated. The Clark boys think they jumped from the boat before it tumbled over the dam, but are not sure.

They know they were whirled about the pool beneath the dam, but whether they were in the boat when they went over the dam, or whether they were washed over by the water, they do not know. They, however, managed to escape injury, wading to the shore after being whirled about at least a dozen times iu the pool. Rhines, however, was not able to get to the shore. He remained in the boat and was carried over the dam. Round and round Ue was whirled by the water.

A dozen times he came to the surface. The last time he made a big leap, apparently endeavoring to spring from the water and get to the bank. As he leaped (nearly all of his body being out of the water the boat struck him in the chest and he was tossed back into the water, never to come to the surface again. Search was immediately made for his body but it has not yet been found. Rhines, the drowned boy, moved February 28, with his parents from Hagerstowu to the farm of Hon.

John Orier, near Williamson. The Clark boys, who were with Hhines, are sons of Asbury Clark, near Williamson, and are cousins of the drowned boy.
