Suicides.

--John A. Lancaster, Esq., of Cumberland, committed suicide on the 29th ultimo. It is supposed by those best acquainted with the circumstances attending the affair that the fear of his family being reduced to want and suffering had produced a temporary aberration of mind. Mr. Lancaster was about forty-eight years of age. He leaves a family and a large circle of relatives and friends to deplore his sudden and unfortunate death.

Frank McCraw, of Buckingham, committed suicide on Friday last by cutting his throat. Unrequited love is said to have been the cause.
