Macedonia, March 17.-—Tho neighbors of
this community wore terribly shocked this
morning on hearing that II. Lively, the jus-
tico of tho peace of this district, hau committ
ing suicide by hanging himself in the crib
with n plow line. Mr. Lively was a man of
high standing and well beloved by all who
knew him. The events that caused the sad
death of Mr. Lively, so far as can be
gathered, are about as follows: He said some
time since that on the day of the governor’s
election that a strange feeling came in his fore
head and that it affected liis whole system.
From that time till now he grew worse un
til lie became perfectly reckless and de
stroyed hi nisei f. He was visited by his neigh
bors and friends who judged from his conver
sation that he was under conviction, and
would be all right in a short time. He told a
neighbor, Mr. (laddas, on one occasion that
he was so wretched and miserable that he had
almost come to the conclusion to destroy him
self, but said that it wouldn’t do.
INJUNCTION TO HIS ( HII.DRKX.
A few days ago he took all his letters and
papers of every description and separated
them and nut them in a little wooden box
and locket! them up, telling his children at
the same time that he didn t want them to
liothcr nor handle his papers after ho was
dead and gone. On Friday beforo lie hung
himself, lie seemed to be perfectly wild,
walking about the house all the day. On
tiuturday morning, about 5 o’clock,
he got up and stepped out of tho houso and
was gone a few minutes, canto back and drew
a bucket of water and sat down and smoked.
After smoking begot up and steppe,1 out of
the house and never returned. About day
light his daughter went out to hunt for him,
and found him in a little polo crib hanging.
She raised tho alarm ami the neighliors soon
gathered, taking him down, laid him out and
sent for the coroner, who lived about fifteen
miles from the place.
THt:'CORONER’S IXqUEhT.
The coroner came late in the afternoon and
held an inquest, which was ns follows:
The jury whs empnnneled us follows: W. T
Kirk, coroner; William \. Christian, J. W.
Rhoads, A. J. Russell. O. W. Ottddus, J. 1).
Ramsey und A. .1. Wright, who returned the
following verdict: ‘’Wo tho jury find that
11. Lively oomo to his death by uu act of sui
cide, committed by him hy bunging himself
with n rope March 10. HHV’ It hau been os
certained hy his children that he had locked
all his papers up in a box, und told them not
to bother them after he was dead and
gone. J t was supi>oeed that he hud left some
writing in the box that led to the cause of
his committing suicide, whereupon tho box
was opened and a letter was found which
was of such a character as to show that his
mind was unbalanced.
Mr. Lively leaves three orphan children to
mourn his sad death. He also has some three
or four children married. His reiukins’will
be •buried at Liberty cemetery this afternoon
by’the Masons.
