   SUICIDE -- The body of MR. DANIEL McPHERSON, a respectable citizen residing 
about three miles from Fayetteville, was found in the woods a few hundred 
yards from his house on Monday morning last, with his throat cut and a razor 
lying near. There appears to be no doubt, as the coronor's inquest ascertained 
that he had committed suicide. He was a single man of perhaps 50 years of age, 
in comfortable and even opulent circumstancees, of a gloomy habit of mind; and 
on Sunday morning had sat down to breakfast, but ate nothing, rose and walked 
out, without exciting attentionk, and was not seen again until his body was 
found on the next day. -- Fayetteville Observer
