Miscellaneous Items.
The Davenport News, Iowa, throws some light upon the
recent suicide of Miss VAN DUZER, an account of which we have
published. The girl was in love with one young man, while her
mother wanted her to marry another, and it is supposed she wanted
to frighten her mother by pretending to hang herself, but
succeeded in hanging herself in reality.
