A laborer's Suicide.

Redwood City, June 3d. - N. P. Anderson, a native of Sweden and a laborer, was found by the stage driver at 12 o'clock to-day about one and a half miles from Searsville, with his throat cat from ear to ear. The head was nearly severed from the body. The stage driver brought the body to town. The deceased is known to have been of unsound mind for some time. It is supposed that he committed suicide, as a large knife was found lying open near him, and his hands were covered with blood.
