Notes:

HULZAR - We learn that person named Balzar Hulzar, in the employment of Jacob Hespeler, Esq., committed suicide by hanging himself i n a tree near the village of Hespeler on Thursday, the 31st ultimo. His body was not discovered till the following Sunday. The motive for this desperate action is unknown. Persons who were in the habit of meeting him every day affirm that he did not indulge in intoxicating drinks, but it is obvious that he had become, from some cause, temporarily insane. Hulzar was a German, and leaves a widow and family to lament his loss.
