Suicide - Miss Amelia Spinner, daughter of the late Rev. J. P. Spinner of Herkimer, committed suicide on Saturday night last, under the following circumstances. She had been subjects to fits of insanity for several years, and while laboring under one of them jumped out of the second story of her residence. Her sister who was with her, immediately gave the alarm, when search was made for her but without success until Monday morning, when her body was found in the Mohawk river, about a quarter of a mile from her residence. Miss Spinner was very intelligent and much respected, and her melancholy end will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends.
