Though parent's affection lament thee,

And anguish, which loves to recall

Thy image, may oft represent thee

As the fairest and loveliest of all;

Although I must feel for such sorrow,

There is so much bliss in thy lot,

That pain from thee pleasure may borrow,

And joy could not wish thee forgot.

A man in Boston attempted to cut his throat, when his wife wrested the razor from him, and he ran off bleeding to drown himself. She ran for assistance, and on seeing his neighbors approach, he madly endeavored to kill himself by tearing open the wounds in his throat. He was secured, and may recover. No cause assigned for the horrid affair.

DEAD BODIES FOUND - The corpse of a man, about 35 years old, pockmarked and 5 ft. 9 inches high, was found in Niagara River, near grand Island -- where it was buried by Henry FALES.

     Some remnants of a corpse were found hanging in a cedar-grove near Rahway, N. J. The suicide was committed some months ago, and nothing was found to indicate name or residence.

     Two dead bodies were found in Bellingham, Mass., in one morning. Reuben HIXON, aged 70, subject to derangement in fits of intoxication, was one; and the other, Lyman DANIELLS, aged 60.
