Farthing, a native of Philadelphia, aged 38 years, was found dead. He was a sea captain and some five years since was married, went to sea, was gone four years and a half, and returned by way of Rio a few days ago. During his absence his wife proved faithless and became an abandoned profligate. The news affected his mind, and at 8 o'clock in the morning he was found sitting dead on the end of his bed, leaning against the corner post.
