The Btraúge air of
rounding the death of Chas,
the unfortunate viction of aelf murder
yesterday inning, is not yot raised,
as far as an explanation of the causes
leading thereto are oonoerned. The
youug man, who slept uith him the
uight preoeding the inoroiog upon
which ho killed himself, says that he
hod received a letter the day bo-
foro and Was reading it oa
last . Tivfcsday night He «aye
the letter or bote was wrttten on some
kind' of tinted paper, but the

by the young man, and be is unable
to stato whether* it was from a man
or woman It was thought that this
would oast some light on the subject,
and a thorough soaroh was made of
young Harris' trunk, but letters of a
later date than a month back were
not obtainable, and it is supposed
that ho burued it whou he inado the
Ere to the cook stovo and there have
been somo who believe that the tinted
paper upon which it was written cor
responded exactly with the paper of
which his note book was made and
that it wan a note he had written ex-
plaining the causo of (he suicido and
which ho intended „ T
LEAYIXO HBItlNU mu,
but as the papor is no where
tif be found this matter will
iu iill probability always remain the
mystery that it now is. During the
excitement yesterday, incident to the
holding of the inquest and the fearful
shock'whi.'h tbo fui expected < ecur
ronce brought about, Mrs. Noel did
not make a statement until later on in
the day. She states-that ata late
hour in U>o afternoon before tbe morn-
ing of the suicido, Harris cumo to
her and asked her if she had any
LAUDANUM
iu tbo house. Slio did not have it, but
in the conversation nevor thought
that the young man wished it for
any other purposes than for its
medicinal qualities.. During.the even-
ing following Harris displayed no
signs of insanity or moodiness, but
carried on the usual run of cou
venmtion in tho best of
humor. Tbo next morning,
shortly after ho had finished the firo
in tbo cook atoie, he enquired of Mrs.
Moel if she had any
OHLouoronu
about the place, but nono of that drug
was on tbe premises, and it is the sup
position tbat as a last resort he do
eided to baijg hiiir.elf, and it is kuown
he did this.
Tho scone of hanging, in
tbo b.rii, shows beyond the
possibility of a doubt that Harris

His feet dangled down between
two sills anda, with tho slightest ex
ortion he could have pulled himself
up. The fall was scarcely two feet
und ovoVything shows that Harris
deliberately stepped off and holding
himself quietly pendnM strangled to
death. There are nor tho slightest
signs of a Btrngglo.
His brother in law, George Ball,
carne in from Bouham last evening,
and is here attending to tho last cad
duties. His remain were laid away
in Cottouvyood Cemetery, just east of
the city, aiid all that is mortal has
been hidden from sight uf man, but
lot it bo hopon that tho eyo of Him,
who ever looks with compassionate
lovo upon an erring world, has guided
tho soul, thus torn from its casket to
a land whoro no desire to leave shall
over come.

l'ort Jefferson is a qniet country
village on the north shore of Long
Island. It is noted for the healthful-
Hess of its climate and the longovity
of its inhabitants. Iu most countries
where people live to a groat age they
