Suicide. -- Yesterday morning a lady uptown died her dog, a beautiful little animal, to a bed post near a window, in order to keep him from the marauding boys, who for the sake of making ten cents are carrying this thing to such an extent that they are getting to be a fearful nuisance. The dog, however, jumped through the window and the string by which he was tied being a strong one, he was strangled to death. Whether this was a case of suicide committed on part of the subject when he was laboring under a "temporary aberration of mind," or the result of a lack of foresight, we leave to be judged by the public.
