SAD DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. Early the other morning a married woman itamed Nixon. who resided with her husband and family in Giipiu Road. Clapton Park, committed awieide under very distressing circumstances. It appears she had given way to keeping company vUh persons of whom her husband did not ap. prove, one of her associates lately undergoing a OTatence of fourteen days' imprisonment for at- tempting to crown herself, and had also given way ll/liabice of intemperance. On the day in ques- tion her husband returned home rather late and had an altercation with his wife of rather a serious character. She was undressing to retire, when the torabie was resumed, and the poor woman became so- exasperated that she rushed out of the house s** as she was, taking a direct course to the Lee, thomting to her husband, I'll drown myself." As she gassed her parents' house she cried out Good- lye father; good-bye mother," and thea plunged jato the water. Her screams, when she was im- d, were plainly heard at the house, and then the reality of the tragedy forced itself on the bus- band's mind. At this time a bnrge passed along sfemaras Tottenham, and as the screams suddenly eeased it was thought she had clung to the rope attached to the vessel, but an inspection by the Wtaersman showed that this was not the case. but that the suck of the barge had drawn her under. Half = hour nfterwnrds the bo(lv was recovered.
