SUICIDE - Coroner CAMP was called this morning to hold an inquest on the body
of Mrs. FLINT, in the village of Brighton, in this county, who cut her throat
between 5 and 6 o'clock with a razor. It appeared from the testimony that her
husband, Mr. John FLINT, rose at the usual hour and went out of doors, leaving
Mrs. F. in the room partly dressed. After working in the yard some time, and
not observing any indications that his wife was preparing breakfast, he went
to their sleeping room, and found her upon the floor weltering in her own
blood, and nearly dead. Mr. F. alarmed the neighbors and procured assistance
as soon as possible, but before others arrived life was extinct. The gash was
inflicted with resolute determination, and extended from nearly ear to ear,
and to the bone of the neck. The edge of the razor was broken on the bone. In
1829, Mrs. F. attempted suicide by drowning, and has since suffered much from
depression of spirits, being at times monomaniacal. She was about 50 years of
age. Verdict of Coroner's inquest -- Death by cutting of throat with a razor
when deranged. [Cleve. Her.]

SUDDEN DEATH - Miss Delia GERRY, a young woman residing in the family of W. C.
DRYER, at Victor, was found dead in the chamber of the house, on Monday
forenoon, at about half past 11 o'clock. She had gone up stairs from the
purpose of sweeping the rooms, and was discovered some half an hour
afterwards, lying on the floor, in an insensible state. All efforts to
resuscitate her, proved unavailing. Her health for the past year had been
rather poor, though no apprehensions were entertained by her friends, and
during the forenoon of Monday she had attended to her accustomed work, and
appeared as well and cheerful as usual. She is supposed to have died from a
disease of the heart. [Canandaigua Rep.]

ILLUMINATED SHOT - Lt. O'REILLY, R. N., Hornsea, has succeeded in illuminating
a shot used in Capt. MANSBY's apparatus, by means of which a communication in
cases of shipwreck can be effected in the darkest nights with the greatest
certainty. A fusee is fitted to the shot, and, when discharged, affords a
splendid light, capable of withstanding the power of water. Objects within its
range become distinctly visible, whereby the projector is enabled to see the
direction of his aim, and the people on board distinguish the light, which is
attached to the projectile, should it pass over any part of the rigging or
yards aloft.

SANDS' SARSAPARILLA - Hardly inferior to the ravages of the Small Pox on land
were those of the Scurvey, within the last seventy or eighty years, at sea.
Now, in consequence of improved diet, the use of acid and other causes, its
victims are comparatively few. Scrofula, however, from the fact of being
hereditary, is far less easily conquered. In Sands' Sarsaparilla it
nevertheless meets with an antagonistic power too strong to be hesitated, and
notwithstanding its tenacious hold upon the system, is subdued by that
preparation. There are few, very few cases we believe, where a fair trial has
been given to this preparation, in which it has failed to cure either Scrofula
or any form of ulcerous or cutaneous disease.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence of its
superior value and etficacy, see pamphiets, which may be obtained of the
proprietors and their agents gratis.
Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by A. B. & D.
Sands, Wholesale Druggists, 79 Fulton street, New York. Sold also at 273
Broadway, 77 East Broadway, and by Druggists generally throughout the United
States. Price $1 per bottle. Six bottles for $5.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING - A terrific thunder storm passed over our city, on
Monday evening last, about 6 o'clock, which raged fearfully for about 20
minutes, and we regret to say has proved fatal to a young man, a carpenter,
named James McILLROY, in the employment of Mr. NESBITT, on the bay shore, a
little west of Bay street. The young man was working in Mr. NESBIT's shop
during the day, along with two other men. The shop is in the basement floor
of Mr. NESBIT's dwelling, and they were just preparing to leave when the
storm commenced. The lightning appears to have entered the house by a small
chimney, down a stove pipe and through the floor, where it cut an aperture
about the size of a musket ball, to the shop below, where it struck the
deceased on the head, passed down his right side, tearing his cap and
clothes to shreds in its course, and though his foot to the ground. He was
killed in an instant. The other two men were knocked down by the shock, and
stunned for a time, and just recovered themselves in time to extinguish some
shavings which the lightning had ignited. A coroner's inquest was held
yesterday morning, and a verdict returned according with the circumstances.
Mr. McILLROY was a young man, about 17 years of age, whose parents are
plunged into the greatest affliction by this visitation.

TWO PERSONS OVER THE FALLS
Correspondence of the Daily National Pilot
Niagara Falls, July 29
Yesterday, two bodies were discovered in the whirlpool
(three miles below the Falls) in the embrace of its everlasting whirls. How
long they have been there, or how long they may remain, is impossible to
tell. Who they are, or where they lost their lives is not known, but it is supposed
that they were drowned at some point above the Falls, and have passed over
and through the rapids, into the whirlpool, and may there remain until they
pass out in decomposed fragments.

The following letter was received by Wm. E. WILMERDING, from Mr. Henry
SMITH, known as the Razor Strop Man," and the enclosure, $25, handed
over to the Distributing committee, Messrs. James CRUIKSHANK and John
COTTER:
Boston, July 24, 1845
Gentlemen -- I herewith send you, through Mr. John W.
OLIVER, twenty-five dollars, being my mite for the relief of the
sufferers by the late disastrous and extensive conflagration which swept
over a portion of our city. I have, in days gone by, spent more in three
months for liquor, which consumed my peace, my health and my respectability;
and I should indeed be ungrateful now, that by Temperance and Perseverance,
I have regained by health, and succeeded in accumulating a sufficiency to
render me and my family comfortable, did I turn a deaf ear to my suffering
fellow men. You will, therefore, accept the amount specified, with the
assurance that, so long as I have my health and strength, there will be
"a few more left of the same sort" for similar emergencies. To
those who have suffered by the late calamity, I would say, be of good
cheer, avoid the intoxicating bowl, and persevere, and prosperity will again
surround you-- which is the sincere prayer of
Henry SMITH
The Razor Strop Man
