e el e §W;y R L bpves gl LA - KENDALLVILLE, July 10, 1877, Wfimmmvm o commit suicide, by shooting himself, last Sunday morning at about 11 o'clock. . The cause-of this rash act may be summed up as follows: He had entered info a written contract with O, D. Willett, assignee of Park Brothers, for their one-third interest 'in the foundry and machine shop of Flint, Walling & Co. He had made ‘the first payment in secured notes, as per contract, and was to make a cash payment on the first of August, leay-: Ing a balance of $2,500 to be paid in five annual payments, which deferred | payments were to be secured by a mortgage on his-house and lot. The report is, his wife refused to sign the’ mortgage. He then goes to 0. D. Willett and wants to back out, making a demand for notes given in first payment. Willett, being under bonds of fifty thousand dollars for the faithful performance of all his duties, standing between Park Bro’s on the one side and ninety éreditors on the other, refused to surrender said notes and annul thé contract, which was made in good faith by both parties. So:Willert assays to settle the controversy by attempting to commit suicids. *

FURTHER PARTICULARS. : ‘From another source we receive the following explanation of the affair: “So-many reports are in circulation respecting the business transaction which it is claimed led to the unfor‘tunate affair of last Sunday, at this place, that it seems proper to make a statement of the facts to correct erroneous impressions. Last April Mr. Willert' made a written proposition to the assignee of A. B. Park & Bro. to purchase their interest in the firm of Flint, Walling & Co., the proposition to stand sixty days for acceptance, as' Mr. Willett, the assignes, -declined to accept unless Park & Bro. could make a compromise with their creditors. The sixty days expired without anything having been accomplished, but it still seeming possible that Park & Bro. could make a satisfactory arrangement with their creditors, Mr Willert renewed his proposition, to stand for sixty days longer for said assignee’s acceptance. ‘ : “This last proposition was precisely like the first, except some stipulation in Mr. Willert’s favor, by which he was to have assigned to him, in addi“tion to'what he was to receive before, some claims which had been considered worthless 'but which it seems probable may yet be collected. Willert deposited with the assignee some notes as security that he,would abide his proposition. - This the assignee deemed necessary, as a guaranty that the arrangement would be carried out. After the contract had been executed Willert approached the assignee and desired to be released, but the latter declined to do so, on the grounds that he was acting for other: parties, and _felt that-he had no.autherity to do it.. “The. report that Mr. Willert did ’ not understand tbat the proposition 'should be binding upon him and 6p‘tional with the assignee, is entirely a mistake, because it was identical, with the exception specified, with the one entered into two months before, and it was repeatedly stated to Mr. Willert that the assignee could not bind himself until he knew that the arrange- | ment for a compromise could be con- { cluded.

~ SCHENCK’S SEA WEED TONIC. : In the atmosphere experienced here during the summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat takes away the desire for, wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bo@fly en_etg‘ particularly those suffering from the effects o debilitating digeases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonicris very effectnal. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the en~ ervated body. For dyspepsia, itis invaloable. Many eminent physicians have, doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the ‘drugs which are generally employed for that parpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists tne regular operations of natare, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so mueh resembles the gastric juice thatit is' almost identical with that fiwid. . The %astric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested; and vgxen this Jjuice is _lllwlexcreted in sufficient guantities, indiFestion, ith-all its distmmm? symptoms, folows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient, Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic isfor sale by all druggists, : { ; 11-wd, Drs. PRICE & BREWER
