Suicide. The Ilarrisburg (Pa.) Intelligencer of Friday week says: A pedlar, who had been trading in the neighborhood for several years, was found dead, on Sunday last; near the Donegal cross-road, with a strap round his neck, .and fastened to a sapling. He had been gambling, and lost all his money, which, it is supposed drove him to desperation and suicide. A sad warning to beware of the allurements of this vice. , , August 15, 1S26. 1-tf Every excess of pleasure is fol lowed by an equal degree of pain or languor.
