Meyers, a gas-fitter, who has been a resident of Grass Valley for a number of years, committed suicide by taking laudanum. He was somewhat dissipated in habits, and his nerves had been unstrung for a\.day or two by reason ofdrinking. He had obtained a sedative from a physician to compose them. He threatened several days ago to conimit suicide, bat it was not thought that he was in earnest. He was discovered after he had taken laudanum, and Dw. Mec: Cormick and Jones were promptly called to his relief, but it was too late and he died in about an hour after he was:found.

The Exehange says the proprietors of the Chronicle pay taxes on their property on a valuation of $9,000, when the same, according to their own statements, is worth at least $250,000.

The Chroni¢le parades the names of twenty attorneys, most of .them abscure men, who pronounce the local option feature of the new Constitution a bugaboo. In times past. the Chronicle has gone ott of its course to speak in harsh terms of at least five of the lawyers whom it now quotes with such pride.

Meyers, a gas-fitter, who has been a resident of Grass Valley for a number of years, committed suicide by taking laudanum. He was somewhat dissipated in habits, and his nerves had been unstrung for a\.day or two by reason ofdrinking. He had obtained a sedative from a physician to compose them. He threatened several days ago to conimit suicide, bat it was not thought that he was in earnest. He was discovered after he had taken laudanum, and Dw. Mec: Cormick and Jones were promptly called to his relief, but it was too late and he died in about an hour after he was:found.
