Suicide.

--Miss Jones, of Monroe county, Indiana, was ruined a short time since by a man named Braham, who promised to marry her. She procured his arrest and made affidavit of the fact, but Braham introduced a witness who deposed that Miss Jones had told him that she had not been seduced under promise of marriage. The poor girl in her despair then said she would not disgrace her family, and calling for a glass of water suddenly emptied into it a deadly poison, and refusing all aid, died in a few minutes. The people talk strongly of lynching Braham.
