On Friday oí lust wcuk Ulrich Laubengayer, oí Lodi, attempted suicide under the following circunistances : Ofticer Hoskins of this city went to arrest him on a warrant charging him with drunkenness and disorderly conduct (which terms, we believe, include abuse of his family). Findiug his house locked he went to the farm - house, some three-fourths of a mile away, where his wife and family wore, and a boy was sent vrith a key to unlock the door and let the officer in. Going in he found no signa of his man, though the boy said he saw him at the window as they drovê up, and so callingto his assistance a Mr. Wallace who was passing by, a thorough search up stairs and down, in bedrooms and closets, was instituted, and finally the search was rewarded by finding Laubengayer concealed in a small closet under the stairs. Being told that he must come to Ann Arbor he consented and the officer went up stairs with him to get a change of clothing-. Preceding the officer down stairs he stepped iuto a bedroom to make the change, and then for the first time asked what the charges were against him. The officer told him, when he said he would go, but must go up stairs again to get a clean shirt. He was allowed to go, but thinking that it might be a rase to escape, officer Hoskius immediately followed him, aud as he catne to the bedroom door Laubeugayor was gaslung his throat in a very vigorous manner with a razor. In an instant Hoskins grabbed his arm, when he declared "the work was done aud that " he didn't want to live any longer." The last gash started the Wooil and before aid could be seeured- Hoakins being then alone- and a physician got from Saline, he bied several quarts, and was apparently beyond recovery. ne objected to having & physician sent for, saying that he couldu't live uiteen minutes.
