Suicide.

--A telegraphic dispatch, received by the Agent of the Express Company in this city, states that Mr. Jacob Spooner, recently the agent of that company here, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room at the Burnett House, in Cincinnati, on Saturday last. Mr. Spooner was on his return to this city from the North, where he had been for a second time within the past two months, for the purpose of bringing out ladies and children to their families in the South. The deceased had been a resident of Savannah for several years, and was known as a very correct and obliging business man, of very regular habits and amiable disposition. His health had been infirm, he being a sufferer from dyspepsia, to which, perhaps, his death should be attributed.--Savannah News.
