She was prevent- ed and said, in answer to questions, that she | was tired of life and had nothing to live for. | She was taken tothe York street station, and on being brought befere a Brooklyn jt discharged. She gave her name at the time as | Nettie Gray, aged twenty-three, of No. 65 Third | avenne, Yesterday morning she attempted to | commit suicide inthe same manner. She was sitting in the ladies’ cabin of the ferry boat | Minnesota, of the Grand street line, on the 9 | o'clock trip to Williamsburg. When’ the boat | Was in mid-stream, she left the cabin, got over | the chains, and jumped into the river. Her dress bouyed her up, but the boat being under a full head of steam left her behind. She dritted | with the tide, and Capt. Joslyn, of the Houston | street forty bons Gerard Stuyvesant, which was | crossing the stream at the time, reversed his engines 0 as to catch her. She drifted against the guards of the Stuyvesant, and was lifted on | deck by one of the deck hands. Officer Collins | took ber to the eleventh precinct, where she | was attended by Po! | taken to Bellevue ho: \o. 63 Third avenue showed that the unfortunate girl had hired an attic room room there about seven months ago. She kept late heure, which fact was accounted jor by the impression that she was a theatrical tailoress. She retases to make ae pemoracnte regarding her prey.ous career.— N.¥. Times. A Portic LeorstaTor.—There is at leact one lowa legislator who will not vote for a vro- hibitory law. He is a state sonator and iuaes up as follows: Ye temperance men of [owa, Put no fish juice in mine, I would the rivers were all ram And all the oceans wine; And every isle a sugar loat, And then, upon my soul, I'd slice the moon for lemon And squeeze it in the bow!. I then would warm the spicy punch With earth’s volcanic fires, Betore I'd vote the stupid bill Fanatic zeal requires. B7-Anna Dickenson, a colored convert in a revival in Worcester, became violently tnsane from religious excitement, and nearly killed her employer, s7 The women’s temperance crusade in Ohio, according to the Cincinnati Commercial, is ae the politicians in that state very uu- easy.

Dear Sir-—My wife last year a! this time was confined to her bed with Chronte Liver Disease. 1 had one of the best doctors to see her, and he gave her up to die, when I came upon some of your medicine. I bought one bottle and com- menced giving it. She then weighed 2 pounds; now she weighs 140 pounds and is robust and hearty. She has taken eight bottles in all, and so you see ] am an adyocate for your Medi- cines. ‘Ws.
