DR. TALCOTT'S BODY RECOVERED
The body of FREDERICK C. TALCOTT, M.D., who committed suicide on the

Hudson River, at 17th. st. , was found yesterday of pier No. 27, N.R., and
was brought to this city by his friends
Dr. TALCOTT, who lived at No. 385 Lincoln pl., was at the time of his
suicide ill from the excessive use of stimulants. Three weeks before his
death his family learned that he was acting strangely at Albany, and finally
his uncle WM. COLLIDGE, of Foxboro Mass., went to fetch him.

threatending and boisterous at his residence, No. 123 Cook st., last evening,
that fears of his sanity were entertained, and he was locked up at the 6th
precinct Station. This mornign Dr. JOSEPH CREAMER examined BISHOP and sent
him to the Insane Asylum at Flatbush.

A LIVERY STABLE KEEPER'S DIVORCE SUIT.
ANNA J. BOWEN some time ago began an action in the Supreme Court
against ASA BOWEN, livery stable-keeper of Boerum st., for absolute divorce.
The Court, pending the trail of the case, ordered defendent to pay $15 per
week alimony. Defendent refused to obey the mandate of the Court, and this
forenoon, on motion of the plaintiff's counsel, Justice DYKINAN granted the
motion requiring defendent to show cause why he should not be punished for
contempt.
