When old Baggs, the model of punctuality, came to die he called off a list of those persons whom he wished to act us pall bearers. After a few moments he spoke again. "My son, read me that list; is Mr. Wiggins's name on it?" "Yes, father, it is." "Then," said the old man, "strike it off; he is never punctual, never anywhere in season, and he might detain the procession an hour."

Mrs. Nancy Hawkins, of Shelby county, N. C., committed suicide by hanging herself last week.
