Newspaper Page TextWAS IT SUICIDE OR VANITY? priitb of a Beautiful Kentucky Girl from an Overdose of Arsenic. < mr community was startled this morn- jug by the rumor that one of the most •dutiful of our young ladies had com mitted suicide, or at least had died from -.he effects of arsenic administered by herself. Miss Katie West, the unfortunate yonng was about sixteen years old, of un- lteauty, both of form and face, her form being'of medium height and almost <aultless in its proportions. Her com plexion was conspicuous for its fairness :,n,i c learness, and many of our fair la- ij-t-s envied her the possessiou of such . harms. Last night she attended the Methodist church in this city in appa rently as good spirits as usuaL About one o’clock this morning she <ame down stairs and told her mother .he was very sick- Her mother asked her what was the matter* She said she had taken some arsenic. Her mother at <mce sent for Dr. McLeod, who came at once, and found her very low. Dr. Mc Leod sent for Dr. J. D. Hay for consul tation. She was asked why and how she took the poison, and on a promise of sc- r resy she said she had trouble, and had taken it intentionally, but she wanted to get well again. She gave no other reason "for the act than that she “had trouble.” She sank rapidly, and at about 5 o'clock \. m. breathed her last. She took an overdose and vomited copiously, but the -totnacta being empty at the time of taking it, it baa Absorbed sufficient to do the deadly work. She was very impulsive, and it is sup posed that in a fit of momentary pique at romclmdy or southing site took the dose t hat she aftcrwanl repented of. She had !»een off to school at Midway, Ky., but had returned before the close of the ses- Mon, having become Very homesick, and, indeed, so anxious was she to come away that she threatened Jo kill herself if they did not allow her to come home. It is -oiid she had been taking arsenic for her •-omplcxion, and by many it is supposed that tliat was the retil cause of her death, having taken an overdose. She was a member of the Methodist Church, a regular attendant at the Christ ian Sunday School, and was very popular among her classmates. Of course there are many rumors as to the true cause of her suicide, some assert ing tliat her relations at home were not of the most pleasant- nature, but this seems to he entirely unfounded, and the most amicable relations have existed between her and all the members of the family. During her short illness she was very af fectionate to them all. Her character was spotless, and it is a source of much wonderment as well as of sorrow to our community. She was also a member of the Good Templars of this city, and al ways an active assistant in the temper ance work. Her remains will be taken to Cynthiana, which was her former home, and from whence she came to this place a fev ago. Her relatives in Harrison county are very numerous. We have not had a death in our community for a long time tliat produced so great a feeling of sorrow and surprise. a M M THE FREEDMAN’S BANK. GORDON INSTITUTE.

A large proportion of clergymen in the Church of England to-day are as poorly paid as the Vicar of Wakefield was in Goldsmith's time, for £150 at present, considering the cost of living, is no more than equivalent to the Vicar of Wake field’s £40. There are now 4,385 bene fices in the Church of England under £300 a year, and no less than 1,211 under £100 a year in value. The late Dr. Fletcher was preaching an evening sermon to a crowded audience in Edinburg, when a note was handed up to him to intimate that if Dr. So-and-so was in the church he was urgently wanted.

Good-night—By the School. The exhibition was remarkable in every respect, and deserves a much more extended notice than we are able to give to it at this late hour. The music was rendered with surprising sweetness and purity, and when the ages of many of the youthful singers are taken into consideration, it reflects the highest credit upon the good sisters who have instructed them. The recitations were very' good, and many of the boys showed by their fine oratory that they also had receive! I careful instruction. The drama was ren dered with touching effect, and warmly ap plauded. Reverend Father Prendergast delivered the premiums amidst constant applause. A large number of books and pictures were distributed among the chUdren, which we have not room here to enumerate. The foUowing prizes were delivered: Crowns of Honor were awarded to the fol lowing young ladies for. exemplary deport ment during the year: MIssB.
