Suicide of a boy.

--A boy about 11 years of age, son of John Vert, a resident of the town of Macomb, New York, was punished on Friday, the 9th inst., by his mother, for some fault. Deeming his punishment unjust, he started for the woods, telling his another it was the last time she would see him alive.--He then made a rope of some basswood bark, and hung himself from a tree.
