Tied a String to His Foot, Then to the Trigger, Gave a Kick and the Gun Did the! R-st An Unus- : rial Case. Yesterday morning a'messenger came into oaiisoury to notity the ! coroner pf the finding of the dead body of (Julius Bost, colored, who worked Ion the plantation of Mr. Wm. Cabbie. Dr. Dorsett, accom panied by Dr.Foust, left promptly and, on arriving at the eabin of the negrb, found him lying in the front dobrway "and a single barrel breech-loading gun lying by his hide - Mr- Dorsett summoned a jury, and an inquest was held, the gunshot wound inflicted by him self witn suicidal intent. Bost bad evidently made a loop of a stout leather string, to tit the foot; ami attached to it was a cot ton string with a small loop at the end which had been carefully ad justed to the trigger of . the gun. With this arrangement he bad pointed the gun ta his breast and discharged the whole iQad into the ! thoracic cavity 11 is death , was probably ittetanlaneous! No autopsy was held as it did not appear to be demanded. The deceased had been living with a woman named Julia Bost for a year or two, and ; the couple were supposed to be man and wife; but it seems that they haid never been married. On Thursday af ternoon, Julia left home, and that night was married to Henry Walked,1 who lives at" Woodside. The Ios i of his partner preyed so heavily .upon the mind of the old darkey that his reason was de throned and he determined to end his miserable existenca. I Saturday night he left home and made calls at different places in at Allen the neighborhood, one Walker's and another at Mr. Wm. Caubleis. When he parted with Mr. Cabbie, about 3 o'clock in the morning, he requested ine lauer to come over to his: cabin after breakfast and remarked ''this is the last of me." I Mr. Cauble and his son-in law, Mr. Cbas. Trex'er, . went over to the hoape, reaching there about 8 o'clock and finding the old man lying still in the embrace of death. There is a touch of pathos in the sad ending of the life of the old negro, who bore his great trial less lightly than the most of his race. The woman in the case, a bride of only a few days, appeared upon the scene and an outburst of grief was awakened; but tire-genuine- ness or her sorrow was evidently doubted by the, majority of her darkey companions; some of whom did not' fail to cive evidence of their incredulity by characteristic expressions and telltale curling of the urjper lip. Thd.remains will beinterred to day at the couuty home, objection having been made to burying him in the churchyard. - Miss Mabel Chamberlain will conti lue her Music School this fall.
